Author Biography

Communicated through the journey of Jenny, Thomas and other animals who navigate new beginnings, survival and self-discovery from the confines of the barnyard defined by the rail fence, this book is fundamentally about friendships and their ability to nurture our personal growth and confidence.

An entrepreneur, CEO, independent director and student of the power of human relationships, Dudley has written extensively about leadership, organizational behavior and team culture, including his bestselling book "Fusion Leadership Unleashing The Movement of Monday Morning Enthusiasts".
