17 Runs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964377407)

Olivia Chadwick-a young mother and self-critical personal trainer-first met insurance magnate Garnet Morris at 6 am on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick's task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling,100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations-about his coachability as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles.

Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness-as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength.

In 17 Runs, co-authors Chadwick and Morris chart the course of their unique camaraderie around initial differences and toward mutual transformation. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that's a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and ability to love.

Full of entrepreneurial wisdom on overcoming limitations, 17 Runs is a self-development story like no other. By turns motivational, amusing and heart-breaking, it is a must-read for anyone who needs coaching on how to run toward a life they truly choose.
