They report a sense of purpose and a clear course of action to bring their most important dreams to life. Obsessed with impact, this high achiever and fiercely loyal client champion is transforming the old paradigm – of accomplishment at great personal cost – to one of increased influence while simultaneously creating greater personal and organizational wellbeing.
