Congratulations to my client Dr. Hugo Van Cleynenbreugel on the publication of his new book “No Room for Shaky Hands: How You Can Take Your Surgical Performance to the Highest Levels,” which I had the honor to edit. This smartly written guide is based on Dr. Cleynenbreugel’s many years of experience in the operating room, and reveals his secrets for achieving extraordinary results for his surgical patients. But the real secret is that “No Room for Shaky Hands” is an indispensible manual for any professional – lawyer, doctor, financial advisor, performer – who wants to “get in the zone” and deflect all the distractions and obstacles that get in the way of peak performance. With this informative book you’ll learn how to prepare for the worst and demand the very best from yourself and your team, manage stress, plan ahead, use checklists, deliver bad news to your clients, and leave the office without feeling as though you just went through World War Three.
