Gratitude Page

Developing an innovative learning program for self-discovery and expanding organizational knowledge of itself has put me on the front edge of a wave it would seem few can see coming though the signals are evident. It has been a five year process between the research and development and now the search for early adopter companies who can see merit of applying scientific and universal principles to accelerate performance, creativity and innovation.

I want to thank the many sources of generousity and support who have, in their own way, ridden the wave with me. The ride is not over yet and it may never be over but there is a shift ahead where the patience, perserverence and presence with the purpose will be rewarded. Meanwhile....

My deepest gratitude to:

Lindsay Henwood, my daughter, for never giving up on me even when I was more than tempted.

My mom who has whole-heartedly supported my risk-taking ventures and taken the ride with me without knowing whether we were heading for land or more open water. She still doesn't know.

The rest of my family who no doubt have wondered what on earth I am doing but said little.

• Robert Fung and Curtis Yoshida of the RBC's Lynn Valley Branch, North Vancouver for recognizing that the rougher the entrepreneurial ride the better the story is at the end.
• Coast Capital Savings, Vancouver Yaletown Branch - all Branches.
