Of the numerous self help authors and writers that I've met over the past 7 years, none has affected me more positively than Dr. Paul Stolz.  His breakthrough research in 1999 captured in the book "Adversity Quotient - Turning Obstacles into Opportunities" should be required reading for any serious minded sales person, manager or business owner.  Dave Lebert has maintained a relationship with Dr.Stolz since his original meeting and currently works closely with Mr. Richard Dolan, the Canadian distributor of licensed Adversity Quotient Products.  Richard and Dave have recently collaberated on a project to provide sales and Adversity Quotient training to financial planning firms throughout Canada.  More on Dr. Stolz can be found at http://www.peaklearning.com
