Epicenter James B Sullivan

Kate Lamarck has had enough. Late one night she packs her luxury SUV and returns to her childhood home in Ohio. Her five-year marriage to her work-obsessed husband Jason is finished. Jason is also finished, though he doesn't know it yet. He is about to close the highest- stakes business deal so far of his phenomenally successful career. But dark forces have masterminded a securities fraud that will ruin not only the deal, but Jason's finances and reputation as well. In an attempt to recover Kate, Jason goes to Ohio and encounters the guidance of some tough but loving mentors and the needs of an underprivileged but surprisingly powerful team of high school swimmers. He is confronted with a fundamental choice: return to his former life alone, or learn the secrets of an EPIC Life. Will he make the right choice? EPICENTER is an engaging and realistic fable conveying the risks we all face if we ignore the EPIC story at the CENTER of our truest selves-the source of our inspiration as Effective, Principled, Inspired Contributors ("EPIC Leaders"). Readers are invited to take part in the same set of exercises and reflections Jason and Kate use that help them discover what they love most, and do best, for the highest benefit of others. A companion resource, The EPICENTER Life Leadership Course Book: Decode the Design of Your EPIC Life, is sold separately. It contains a complete interactive set of 14 "Life Apps" to prepare the reader to win interviews, get a job tailored to the their strengths and interests, and be perceived as a leader in that job.
