       Praise forWhat Do You Want to Create Today?

      “An inspiring, ‘inside-out’ view of building a life that works. Tobin has an engaging, informal way of writing, making it more likely you will absorb and use his ideas. Practical ideas illustrated through stories of success, failure, and everything in between. Learn from his experience.”

      —Geoff Bellman, consultant and bestselling author of Extraordinary Groups and Consultant’s Calling

      “Anyone in business or going into business should ask the question ‘Do I have the courage to be happy and successful?’ If you are not sure of your answer, read this book.”

      —Jim Alley, Senior Vice President (Retired) at Mattel, Inc.

      “Bob Tobin is an expert on how to turn around an organization, a team, or a life. In his book, What Do You Want to Create Today?, he shares his potent wisdom for adding meaning and passionate productivity to your workplace.”

      —Mark Levy, founder of Levy Innovation and author of Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content

      “Bob Tobin’s essential new book gets at the heart of today’s professional challenge: a choice between following the ‘safe’ path, which is getting less secure every day, and finding the courage to create a unique and amazing life. Mixing professional insights with engaging personal anecdotes, Tobin has provided a smart and practical guide for anyone who wants to get inspired and take action.”

      —Dorie Clark, author of Reinventing You and HBR/Forbes contributor

      “Bob is an inspiration. This wonderful book will help you succeed and have fun in work—and more importantly—in life!”

      —Garr Reynolds, bestselling author of Presentation Zen and The Naked Presenter

      “Bob Tobin’s approach to career satisfaction starts with the most important element: YOU. He throws away the simplistic formulas for success that bind you into prescribed career paths and instead shows you how to achieve your true ambitions by tapping into your individual creativity. This is an important book for anyone wondering why they are not happy at work and what they can do to change that.”

      —Melanie Billings-Yun, PhD, author of Beyond Dealmaking

      “Most of us at some time dream of doing what we really want, but are locked in our current reality. This book is almost a ‘how to’ manual for believing in oneself. Bob Tobin shares his experience from the beginning, as a successful consultant and educator who felt something missing. Bob allows us to share his thoughts and feelings in a way that encourages the reader to examine their own situation. Bob Tobin is a living example of what is possible if one has the faith and courage to take that first step toward being truly happy.”

      —Kiku Taura, Former Head of Human Resources at UBS Global Asset Management
