Since implementing The Agreement in a few of my closest relationships, I have felt free to be myself without restriction. It's the strongest unlock I've had in my 30's."

"Communication is the key to success, whether it's with your loved ones or those you work alongside, we are simply better humans when we are open and honest. Ken and Grace have developed a simple proven process to develop open and honest relationships. All great things take work, but using the Know Honesty pathway has provided us with a north star in terms of communication."

Bev Thiel · Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity® Kent County

"Ken has provided invaluable insight and guidance as we've grown our business. But more importantly, he has helped us communicate better and understand each other in a much deeper way. This book encapsulates many of the stories and examples of how anyone can improve their understanding of others and to be better leaders and communicators."

John Truscott · CEO, Truscott Rossman

"I learned the concept of what it means to be open and to be honest and how it relates to both sides of the conversation. We hear the phrase 'open and honest' so frequently that it has become a cliche in leadership communication. Breaking it down into practical terms of how it reflects both parties in the conversation and their part in the conversation is a beautiful reminder of how to communicate effectively."

Kristie Clayton · Founder

"I enjoyed the relatable stories and honest, vulnerable communication throughout. The book didn't portray communication as easy and didn't oversimplify the steps to better communication. It was real, it was raw, it was honest."

Shaina Lane · Founder and Coach

"My favorite parts of the book were Ken and Grace's real-life stories of discovery and transformation, because many times, I think they were unexpected by them."

Mike Gruley · Certified EOS® Implementer

"I enjoyed the way it gave practical context and advice for the phrase 'Open and Honest' that we hear inside companies that use EOS®."

Darrell Amy · Founder
