Praise for The Power of Choice

      “Efficacy is game changing. Too often in our careers and in our lives, we become thwarted by limitations set by others or even ourselves. The Power of Choice shows you how to take control of your professional destiny and move forward with the confidence and competence required to be effective and successful. I'm thrilled Mike Hyter is sharing these life‐changing principles.”

      —Donna James, Managing Director, Lardon & Associates; Former President, Nationwide Strategies Investments

      “I participated in an Efficacy seminar as a freshman at Harvard. In the forty years since, it has helped me navigate tough career decisions and manage complex layers of interactions I've experienced as a professional man of color in academic and corporate environments.”

      —William H. Carson, M.D., President and CEO, (Retired) Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization

      “Every year I share this book with our young, talented administrative fellows. The book lays out a strategy to use the “power of choice” to pursue their personal and career fulfillment. The conversations sparked by the book inevitably lead to a better understanding of their life purpose and what it means to ‘live life by design, rather than default.’”

      —Gerry Lupacchino, SVP Experience, Engagement and Organization Development, Hartford HealthCare

      “I was fortunate to have exposure to the Power of Choice early in my career. It has served as a critical enabler to my advancement and success—a compass to navigate opportunities and challenges, to take individual responsibility for my career, and to shape my career journey by ‘design, not by default.’ Now, I'm committed to pay it forward by exposing future leaders and executives to the practical advice and proven career strategies outlined in this book.”

      —Shanda Hinton, Talent Management Executive, Fortune 100 Company
