“It takes a lot for me to choose a book over the computer; my mind doesn’t usually rest long enough for me to just read. But this book was different. It becomes personal as it pulls you in; you begin to relate to how these beautiful animals work alone, as competitors, yet coexist together in the Serengeti. You begin to feel the symbolism, how the story parallels our lives, how people in all walks of life can learn from one another and work together. I found this inspiring and fascinating. A must read!”

“The first thing I liked about the book is that I learned more about myself. The book took me deeper into knowing something about my personal skills. The second thing I loved about the book is the team building aspect of the book. Every member of my team took the quiz and we each learned what animal we are and we have been able to connect with these different animals and skills. “

“I am always looking for books that confirm how and why I do the things I do. This book Surviving Your Serengeti did not disappoint, in fact, I loved it. I was in the midst of reading a few books on TEAM building and understanding the dynamics involved, when this book came in the mail for my review. Surviving Your Serengeti provided a fantastic context for understanding how I handle situations and understanding how my team members respond to my Croc style. Couldn’t put it down! Am buying it when released for all my TEAM members.”
