Were each equipped with spiritual gifts to help us navigate adversity. The Power of 3 is a simple yet powerful framework to create clarity on how youve been uniquely prepared to overcome the obstacles in your life.

JOHN BUTCHER, CEO of Caribou Coffee

Robb Hiller has crafted an amazing story of tenacity, courage, and survival. His harrowing life story is a vivid reminder that, even today, miracles do happen when you least expect them. Adversity never leaves us, he writes, which is so true. We all face our own personal trials and tribulations. God doesnt promise an easy life to any of us. Its how we cope with trials and adversity that define ushow we play the hand were dealt. The eternal truths Robb discusses about asking, activating, and advocating can help anyone going through a rough patch, from family struggles to business challenges. The Power of 3 is real, and I predict that if you open your mind and your heart, this book can and will change your life.

So much can be said about Robb Hillers amazing book, The Power of 3. However, one simple but powerfully life-changing word filled my being over and over again: hope. We all need it. This book gives it.

TOM LEHMAN, PGA Tour golfer, winner of the British Open, and the only golfer in history to have been awarded the Player of the Year honor on all three PGA Tours

The three fundamental questions of life are Who am I?, Why am I here?, and Where am I going? Robb taps into the Power of 3 resources that bring clarity to these life-giving questions. Your mind will be stretched, your heart enlarged, and your passions ignited when you discover the Power of 3 and apply it to your everyday life and relationships.

DR. JOEL K. JOHNSON, lead pastor of Westwood Community Church

Robb Hiller has written a very helpful and practical guide to being a better leader and a better person. It brings together concepts that might be familiar to readers of Edgar Schein, Carol Dweck, or Chip Heath and translates them into practical approaches that can be immediately applied. I would recommend Robbs book to anyone who is committed to the improvement of their community, organization, family, or themselves.

JAMES HEREFORD, president and CEO of Fairview Health Services

Robb Hiller should not be here. Although a seemingly unsurvivable diagnosis should have claimed his life, he not only survived but thrived. In The Power of 3, Robb shares the process hes learned throughout the journey that freed him to embrace the possibility of his life. In reading The Power of 3, youll be liberated to embrace the possibility in your life too.

Wherever there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present.

JOHN MAXWELL

R OBB! A familiar voice called my name down a grocery store aisle. I cant believe youre here!

I smiled as Tommy excitedly waved both arms at me. Well, I replied, you cant believe how glad I am to be here. Its wonderful to see you.

For years, Tommy and I had been on-and-off basketball buddies. Now he grabbed me in a very public bear hug. When Tommy and I had last crossed paths six months prior, hed concluded I didnt have long to live. You were in tough shape then, he exclaimed. You look so much better now!

Our brief exchange reminded me how even our most casual relationships can be profound. Running into Tommy caused gratitude to well up inside me for the progress I had experienced in my battle against cancer, and I felt renewed joy at having a second chance to live.

As the founder and CEO of a nationally recognized consulting firm, I had long helped leaders and organizations across the country identify, attract, and develop talent. I am a certified professional behavior analyst, results coach, and talent-assessment expert who has evaluated more than twenty-three thousand individualseveryone from business-to-business sales staff to senior leaders at Fortune 500 companies. I recently was recognized as one of the top consultants among several thousand of my colleagues and presented with the Bill Bonnstetter Lifetime Achievement Award.

But more than these accomplishments, the greatest validation of my work has been the transformation Ive seen as people have beaten adversity, found their true purpose, and broken through to a better life, at work and at home.
