  • Identity: Your Passport to Success
    Praise for Identity: Your Passport to Success “I wish someone like him [Stedman Graham] had been around to enlighten me at an age when finding myself and a career change or decision was within easy reach…all I needed, as he formulated, was a ‘process.’” —Janice Jones, Junior Achievement of Chicago “Stedman Graham learned years ago that the secret to a successful life was to not let other people define him, but rather to define himself. As his thought-provoking book shows, finding your true identity is not as easy as it seems. Filled with inspiring real-life stories and life- changing insights, this page-turner of a book will snap you out of your complacency and make you think: Who are you, deep-down? What do you value, seriously? And what do you really want to do with your life? Don’t miss this outstanding book.” —Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager® and Leading at a Higher Level “Get clear on who you are and live according to your own definition of success. Stedman Graham’s Identity offers thought-provoking questions, strategies, and stories to expedite your journey to success. This is a must-read!” —Stuart Johnson, Founder & CEO, VideoPlus and SUCCESS Partners “Stedman Graham is a man who stands tall and speaks from the heart. His insights and advice have provided a road map for success, which I have found invaluable.” —Chas Edelstein, Co-CEO, Apollo Group, Inc. (owner of University of Phoenix) “Identity is an inspirational, honest, and clearly written book about how you can understand and make choices in your life where you matter and fit in a world full of personal challenges.
