A Behind-the-Scenes Conversation About ‘Your Oxygen Mask First’

On the seventh anniversary of the publishing of Your Oxygen Mask First, Dean Ritchey – long-time friend and Lawrence & Co’s first Advisor to CEOs – sat me down, to talk about the book, then and now.

Dean continues to be a wise advisor for me, and many other people. Like everyone on our team, we see ourselves as eager students and teachers, learning from each other, our clients, and masters in our field, to help our clients to grow and thrive. This book wouldn’t have been possible without them.

How to Use the Book

Your Oxygen Mask First was written as a practical guide to the habits every high-performing leader needs to thrive in Work, Self and Life.

While the book can be read in its entirety, I designed each chapter to stand-alone to address and master a specific habit, with tools and exercises to do alone or with your team.

It’s a book to pick up and learn from over time, depending on your personal priorities and circumstances. I hope your copy becomes dog-eared.
