Many of us want to know there is a reason why we are here on this earth. We need to believe we have a purpose beyond our daily work and toil. We yearn to hear the voice of God or see the writing in the sky that will explain our mission, our purpose, and the path to achieving it. There is a simple reason for this: we were created on purpose and for purpose. Purpose is built within the DNA of every human being. It was God's design from the very beginning. We all want to be happy-to have a fulfilling, purpose-driven, God inspired career; to have healthy, happy, loving relationships; to be financially secure, etc. But happiness can elude us. We often don't see our purpose. We may lack a direction. We may know our dream but feel it's too far away to achieve. Many of us don't know how to take the first steps. We are waiting for that voice, that sign from on high. Waiting can lead to drifting, and drifting leads to a life lived without purpose. The truth is that most of us will never hear a booming voice in the sky. We'll never get that clear sign that says, "e;Do this. Now!"e; But what if that's not a bad thing? What if God doesn't speak from the sky because he has already given you the answer? We believe it is a question of knowing how to listen. If we listen to our own being, we find there is another way that the Lord speaks directly to each and every one of us: through our gifting. That's right. Your natural gifts and abilities are the mark of God in you, nudging you toward the life path that will give you the greatest fulfillment, purpose, and, yes, happiness. In this book, which accompanies the course of the same name, we want to help you discover and develop your innate gifting. Tending Your Garden uses the Dream and Achieve (DNA) process, a method developed by Lance Tanaka that has helped thousands of people overcome their purposelessness by: identifying their strengths and passions, developing practical action plans with effective steps they can take immediately, and building a discipline to do what needs to be done. Let this book, in conjunction with the course and our DNA certified coaches, walk you through this most important process. It is our passion to help you to identify your gifting so you can tend your garden, glorify God, and experience something amazing.

We all want to be happy-to have a fulfilling, purpose-driven career; to have healthy, happy, loving relationships; to be financially secure, etc. But happiness can elude us. We often don't see our purpose. We may lack a direction. We may know our dream but feel it's too far away to achieve. Many of us don't know how to take the first steps. Waiting can lead to drifting, and drifting leads to a life lived without purpose. I want you to stop drifting and get on the path to being the authentic leader you were designed to be. After 19 years of coaching executives from the best of the best global companies, I've discovered many leaders struggle with this. They want to know, What is my purpose? What legacy do I want to leave? Why is my career progression stagnant and how do I accelerate it? Why do I lack the energy & passion in my career/life? How do I juggle my professional life with my family, health and finances? How do I become a more authentic leader?I created the Dream and Achieve (DNA) process over 15 years ago to help leaders address these difficult challenges. The first book came out in print in the US and China in 2008, the e-book in 2013. This 2021 Dream and Achieve book is an updated version utilizing the 20 years of coaching over 800 executives from the top global organizations on finding their authenticity and purpose. What is different about DNA 90-day process vs. other discovery programs? In one word, impact!

Clarifies the specificity of who, what, where and when for each of your elements. 3. Develops action plans with effective steps you can take now. 4. Builds a discipline to do what needs to be done.
