What if the key to unlocking your fullest potential wasn’t about doing more—but about being more present? Marcy Axelrod has spent over two decades exploring this question, and her findings are transforming how we live, lead, and connect.

From Wall Street to Silicon Valley, Marcy has advised some of the world’s most influential companies. Yet, her most profound work delves into the human experience of presence and engagement.
