Island of Excellence is a “teaching novel” that takes readers on a two-fold diving expedition that explores the depths of the ocean and the barriers to corporate and personal creativity. Invaluable business insights merge with an entertaining adventure as a cast of nine colorful characters attends a life-altering dive workshop aboard the 120-foot ship Origin. While scuba diving the breathtaking coral reefs of Papua New Guinea, they are challenged to push their organizations to higher levels of performance and find authentic meaning and significance in their work.

One or more of their stories will be your story, but most important… Understanding how the creative process gets “stopped up” and learning how to free its power and energy can lead you and your company to become an Island of Excellence.
