Today I am thrilled to be sitting down with a very dear friend and an extraordinary visionary in the field of personal development, Mary Morrissey. She's not just a speaker and bestselling author, she's a beacon of hope and transformation for thousands of people around the world. She's spoken on stages from the United Nations, to meetings with the Holiness of the Dalai Lama and even Nelson Mandela in South Africa about crucial global issues with grace and insight. She has a master's degree in counseling psychology and an honorary doctorate in humane letters. Her books, No Less Than Greatness and Building Your Field of Dreams, which was transformed into a PBS special, have been sources of inspiration for many.
