This episode is a little different to the usual focus on Public Speaking. It's my own personal story about going for a dream, which was to write a book. 10 years ago today (May 23 2011) I published Amsterdam... The Essence, and I want to share how following a dream changed everything in my life - learning to finding my life partner, and having two wonderful kids. 

I left my corporate life - a 16 year career in Canon - in April 2009, at the age of 42, with a deep-seated desire to change my personal and professional life. I set 3 goals at my leaving party, with no plan for how to achieve them. This is the story of what happened as a result of pursuing that dream.
