In our collaboration and friendship, I have known Robin to be heart-centered, thoughtful and wise, and I see those greatnesses and more in The Alphabet of Your Greatness: A Guide to Owning Your Greatness and Recognizing the Greatness of Others. Whether you are new to NHA(R) or are a seasoned NHA(R) trainer, this book has something for all of us. R is for Remarkable. In The Alphabet of Your Greatness, Robin has done what great writers do, she's made something complex resonate at multiple levels. At the simplest level, we enjoy the beautiful artwork and the simplicity of the language. Then, if we're up for it, we can accept Robin's gentle nudge to use the language with those around us and ourselves. When we commit to looking for greatness and calling it out, we rewire our brains to look for what's going right, upgrade our happiness and elevate our relationships. M is for Mindful. Throughout the Greatness Alphabet, Robin illustrates the greatnesses through poignant quotes from a diverse body of authors, a study of whom take us on a world-wide tour of greatness. After the Alphabet, the Snapshot of the Nurtured Heart Approach(R) and The Three Stands(TM) serve as a robust introduction or review of the NHA(R) mindset. Even without further instruction, we can commit to lowering our energy, connection and relationship to negativity (Stand 1), increase our energy, connection and relationship to neutral and positive moments (Stand 2), and get clear on our boundaries (Stand 3), discovering at a deep level how we being mindful in this way refines how we relate to the world and how the world relates to us. This fun yet profound read is endless in its potential to augment our experience in the world. I'm grateful to Robin for sharing her greatness with us in this way! Tammy Holtan Arnol, NCCM.S.
