What People Are Saying About Juggling Elephants:

Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager
If your life is so hectic it feels like a three-ring circus, read this book. It will teach you how to set priorities, relax, and enjoy the show!

Spencer Johnson, MD, Author of Who Moved My Cheese?
A very useful, lighthearted way to balance the most important things in your work and life's circus.

Hyrum Smith, Co-founder, Franklin Covey
Juggling Elephants is a fresh approach to becoming the master of your life. In a creative and visual way, the authors show how to take control of your own personal circus, identify and master your priorities, become more productive and thus achieve greater results in all of your endeavors.

Ken Crowley, Broker/Owner, RE/MAX Realty Group
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your book. So many simple but important truths in such an entertaining tale!

Anne Marie-Pernice, Senior Training & OD Manager, Medtronic Energy & Component Center
I have read Juggling Elephants three times, and each time I gain more from it. I return to it when my life seems to be spinning out of control and I need to ground myself.

Bob Burg, Author of Endless Referrals and co-author of The Go-Giver
A simply phenomenal book. Just partway through I began to apply the authors' methods and was amazed - astounded - at how simple and applicable they were. This book is truly a gift to anyone who feels as though their life is a three-ring circus. Buy this book as a gift for your loved ones, team members and employees. Then, not only will you be an effective 'ringmaster'; those you care about will be, as well.

Bruce Nolan, Director, US Treasury Executive Institute
Leaders in all settings can relate to the picture of the workplace found in Juggling Elephants. Images of a three-ring circus capture the complexity of leadership; being Ringmaster of multiple acts is emblematic of a leader's challenge to manage multiple priorities. Juggling Elephants is a clever vehicle to examine where leaders should focus energy and attention to achieve a winning performance. Loflin and Musig do not trivialize the complexity of leadership challenges but offer a memorable and fun way to conceptualize the leader's need for focus.

Debbie Cartwright, Alberta, Canada
I found the book invaluable in both my professional and personal lives. I have shared this book with others and they too are finding it useful.

Carol Forrey, Academic Program Director, Kaplan University
Your book will be perfect for our busy students. I love the lighthearted analogy to a really serious issue. I think we have all struggled with finding the balance and many of us have tried most to the time management methods. They work but they are not always fun. Your approach with the ringmaster who must learn to choose only quality acts, create the line up, and move quickly from ring to ring offers us a fun way to remember to pay attention to what is important.

Travis Conner, Affordable Housing Management Association, Helena, MT
I purchased Juggling Elephants after hearing Jones Loflin speak at a conference. During my layover and last airplane flight, I read the book and it was great! I have taken today off to work on my self ring and to prioritize what I need to do in the other rings and get my life running "more smoothly." Thank you once again.

Dan Woodruff
My daughter liked the three ring example because she said it helped her visualize what she needed to do. Concept is valid for young and old alike.

Susanne Kubofcik, Leadership Facilitator, JetBlue University
I loved the book! I'm looking forward to having a conversation with you about it.

Andie Webb, Assistant Principal, Stevenson, WA
A good friend gave me a copy of Juggling Elephants and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I read the entire book in one sitting. As an administrator, I think the concepts are great for my teachers and staff.

DeeAnn Beltz, Regional Services Manager, Wells Fargo
I read Juggling Elephants while on vacation. My mom had a copy she had gotten from a friend. I loved it and have been talking about the concepts to my peers at work. I have been able to get some of the other Executive Managers in my peer group to read it and they are very excited about it.

Carol Henline, Advanced Restoration LLC, Salt Lake City, UT
Fantastic book, great idea, fun story and tremendous message. I really enjoyed reading Juggling Elephants because the concepts were easy to understand and put into practice. I have had an elephant fall on my head in my time and wish I would have had this message when I was much younger.

Ron Davies, Truaudio, Madrid, Spain
I got your book in the mail today and didn't put it down until I was finished! Great book. I loved it! Good lessons and an easy to follow story line. When I arrived in Spain, I was overwhelmed and had to figure out a way to survive as a businessman in a foreign country. Without knowing it, I started to incorporate some of the ideas in your book, but never could analyze exactly how to handle it all smoothly. Your book helped me to do that. Great job!

Frazier Hall, Student, Christian Life Academy, Baton Rouge, LA
My Dad made me read the book Juggling Elephants and I did it because he is my Dad and not because I wanted too. I am now happy that I did and amazed how much I learned. I discovered that my life of school, baseball and friends is out of balance. I really realized it after I did the ring exercises that he gave me. All I can say is that if I get this down as a senior in high school, then my life as a college student and athlete will be a lot easier (...and hopefully more successful). Thanks Dad.
