He is the Engine, She is the Rudder “Partnerships work, against all the odds, not because women are submissive, and accommodate their domineering males; partnerships work because women’s natural social skills—it’s been called ‘social intelligence’—enable them to manage a relationship so much better than a man. Women can predict and understand human behaviour better than a man, can sense the motives behind speech and behaviour; so, if he is the engine of the ship, she is the rudder. She is also the navigator, because she alone has the chart and knows where the rocks are. This is The Invisible Partnership.”

An Honest Open Look at Human Behavior “Rarely do you see a business book where authors dissect themselves to such extent they can be vulnerable by exposing their own failings. A very refreshing and honest open look at human behavior. In The Invisible Partnership Louise Woodbury and William de Ora provide a deeper insight into psychological thought processes that normally take place behind the privacy of closed doors. We applaud you both for being so brave. Bravo!”

Recruit the Best Sherpas “I’ve been fortunate enough to climb Mount Everest thrice. For those of you who work with your life partner, you may not have thought of your journey as your Everest. However, regardless of how experienced I am, I always recruit the best Sherpas to guide me to the summit and back. Because great Sherpas know there are many dangers and pitfalls that are invisible, even to the experienced climber. We all have blind spots. The trouble is that we don’t know what they are. So, find a guide who can help you. You could see a mountain of difficulty, whilst your guide will see a clear path. And, in The Invisible Partnership, you can’t ask for better Sherpas than Louise and William to be on your team.”

To Grow in Awareness “In childhood we learnt self-protective strategies. We found mental and physical ways to acclimate or inure ourselves to the pain. We conditioned ourselves to escape while staying. Now these same strategies only keep us stuck in untenable situations and operate invisibly within our partnerships. The Invisible Partnership helps business couples to grow in awareness, understanding, and trust; and this is the doorway to your success.”

|
Heady Mix of Love, Power and Money! “William de Ora and his wife, Louise Woodbury have opened their hearts, and invite the reader into their home/office place, to help other couples planning to work together—and stay happily married. Don’t miss this honest, frank and moving tale to understand that heady mix of love, power and money!”
|
|
The Spirit of the Music “One of the best analogies to explain The Invisible Partnership is to think of two flutists performing a duet.They are playing the same composition and must do so in harmony, being absolutely synchronised and in tune with each other. The duet will not be a unified whole without both parts being performed perfectly together. The spirit of the music comes alive when both musicians are completely in accord with one another.”
|
|
Dramatically Turn Around the Failure Rate “With this book as their guide, couples will now understand and overcome the obstacles that were denying them business success. This could single-handedly and dramatically turn around the ‘too high’ failure rate in small business. Every couple in business needs to read and start living this book.”
|
|
Handling Emotional Conflicts “How couples in their own business manage their emotions is a critical factor for success. At the same time handling conflict in a constructive manner is essential to bring fresh ideas to the business. How you manage sometimes seemingly polar opposites requires a skilful process of communication and understanding. Louise Woodbury and William de Ora skillfully impart their insights in The Invisible Partnership with honesty and empathy.”
|
|
Lessons and Insights “The Invisible Partnership gives invaluable insights about creating and sustaining a family enterprise along with strategies to identify, honour, and then leverage the specific strengths each partner brings to the table. Louise Woodbury and William de Ora have shared their personal journey —lessons and insights—that are pertinent for families who are in, or contemplating, being in a business together. This is an outstanding book which presents practical solutions and thought provoking questions.”
|
|
A Long Overdue Resource “The failure rate of small business has dire economical consequences, however, for those businesses run by a couple the failure has far reaching consequences, way beyond financial implications. It intrudes and destroys the fabric of one’s core family especially the lives of their children. If you are in business together and you are a husband and wife team, then you have too much to lose not to read The Invisible Partnership. This book is a long overdue resource every family business must have. Buy it and read it!”

|
To Fully Express as Powerful Leaders “The Invisible Partnership is a refreshing look at the dynamics that can take place between couples in business. The authors offer a way for how both partners can fully express themselves as powerful leaders, individually and as a partnership. This book is invaluable if you’re stepping into an established business, or if you’re creating a business together. You will gain an insight into how you can have an even deeper, stronger and successful partnership strengthened, not decimated, by your business challenges and commitments.”
