Heidi Reeder, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Communication at Boise State University. She lives in Boise.

"[Reeder's] book is delightfully practical as well as informative, packed with intelligence and clarity of both thought and expression. Learned, yet eminently accessible, it is a rare pleasure."
The Economist

Commit to Win is at once readable and rich with ideas, both fun and important.  Heidi Reeder reveals the complexities and dispels the myths that surround commitment, and sketches a compelling framework that explains why committing is sometimes so difficult, and how to right the ship when commitment wanes.  Well worth reading if you ve ever struggled to follow through on a plan that seemed important but somehow fell by the wayside.
