Blind Run: A Dark Conspiracy Thriller

“[A] fast pace [and] abundant action.” ---Publishers Weekly

Ethan Decker is a specialized 'hunter' for one of the most secretive agencies of the US government. His mission is to track down ruthless international fugitives. 

But when a daring mission takes a lethal turn, he exiles himself to a remote desert in New Mexico to live in a jail of his own guilt and grief. Until a former member of his covert team arrives at his door, shepherding two children. She entrusts them to Decker’s protection and leaves without explanation.

Suddenly he's the hunted instead of the hunter and the race is on to unlock the mystery behind these two children--innocent pawns in a dark conspiracy so evil that even this former spy could not imagine the peril that lies directly in his path.

As Decker fights to protect the innocent and struggles to restore a shattered relationship that seems beyond repair, Patricia Lewin takes us on a thrilling ride full of whip-snap action, deadly turns, and almost unbearable suspense.

Step Back and LEAP: 9 Keys to Unlock your Life and Make Change Happen

 

Step Back and LEAP:

9 Keys to Unlock your Life and

Make Change Happen 

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night and thought, “Where the hell is my life going?”

All of us have been there and most of us struggle to find the answer to simple but difficult questions like “What do I really want in life?” and “How do I actually make real change happen?”

Patrick Mork, a former Google exec and serial tech marketer, hit that wall in 2017. After being fired twice in the span of 18 months at two different startups, he woke up at age 45 day terrified by the realization that what he had spent the past 20 years doing no longer excited him and that his passion for it was gone. 

Divorced, nearly bankrupt and teetering on the edge of depression, his life and career were in ruins. 

Fast forward 5 years. Patrick has become a highly sought after CEO coach and motivational speaker, built one of the fastest growing leadership development companies in South America, and moved to Santiago, Chile. He and his team have impacted 1,000’s of people and developed leaders and high performance teams for clients including Walmart, Liberty Media, Scotiabank and regional unicorns in Latin America including Xepelin and Betterfly. 

Step Back and Leap is an authentic, personal and raw series of stories that trace the author's life and challenges across 11 countries, 4 continents and 6 different industries. From being bullied as a kid in Mexico, to flaming out in a startup destined for stardom in Silicon Valley. From starting a company at age 47 in a foreign country to surviving a near-revolution in the streets of Santiago, Chile. 

Each chapter recounts dramatic, real-life challenges Patrick faced and the 9 indispensable “keys” he used to systematically overcome each challenge and reinvent himself.

But it doesn’t require a fortune, an MBA from a top school or having worked at Google to make radical, profound changes in your life. Anyone can do it. With the right tools, support, perspective and hard work.

Step Back and LEAP lays out 9 proven keys to help you thrive in a world of constant change and each key is supported by a series of proven exercises which will help move you from inspiration to action as you start to become the person you really want to be.

“What might be possible if you could live a life of purpose and meaning and become the best version of yourself?”

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

“A powerful book to find courage to live life intentionally and with meaning. Patrick's life story is inspiring and his learnings can be applied to everyone. Through humanity, vulnerability and charisma, Patrick helps us reflect and find ways to face challenges and reinvent oneself. Worth reading!”

Barbara Martin Coppola, CEO of Decathlon

“An inspiring life story of making difficult professional and life changes. Patrick has assembled a worthy collection of life and career lessons, with plenty of humor, humility and vulnerability, and turned this into a practical set of insights and exercises that are really helpful for startups and larger company CEOs and executives alike.“

Matthijs Glastra, CEO of Novanta (NASD: NOVT)

A must-read if you consider your next career move and wonder where to start! I truly enjoyed the combination of the author’s inspiring life trajectory and the many tips and exercises you can apply to take a deep dive and start your own self-reflection.

Magali Depras, Chief Strategy & CSRO at TC Transcontinental

I’ve known and worked closely with Patrick for over a decade and know that many would benefit from this book which is a result of his deep self reflections and focus on constant, transformational change. Congratulations Patrick! Thank you for letting me be a small part of this amazing journey.
