Comment by Lynn Kindler on 20 November 2008:
I love Bill’s book, “Courage to Change” and this man really is “walking his talk”. He was a high diver who really was afraid of heights. Here is a link to a You Tube video of Bill performing a high dive while on fire!

Bill is “real” and “human” and he was the first internal Coach that Accenture Consulting used. For all y’all that know of and what Accenture is about, you know that also being “real” and “human” is a feat unto itself.
Come join the call, the water is….er….warm!
