Dean Niewolny did too. He could make money, but could he also make a difference? Wait . . . stop. You're thinking you've heard this story before? Nope, not this one.

Dean traded up—though, in his case, it also meant making a leap. Eventually he landed at the helm of the Halftime Institute, and that's where you come in. Because Dean also wrote the book on how to pass up success for something far better: real significance.

Wherever you are in your career, if you're restless for more, you're in the right place right now. Dean's journey, and 20 years of Halftime wisdom, can throw light on your journey, too. In Trade Up, Dean takes you through your "Halftime"—when you pause to consider how to finish the game—to fuller, richer work and life.

Wherever you are now, if you need something more, you can get there from here.

Meet Dean Niewolny

“The majority of us, however we define success, come to a time when having it for its own sake pales next to the real trophies of true direction: our effect on other lives, a chance to make a difference. And it’s never too late, or too early, to get it.”

Dean Niewolny spent more than twenty years in executive roles with three of Wall Street’s largest financial firms, finishing his career in the financial sector as market manager for Wells Fargo Advisors in Chicago, where he oversaw a $100 million market. In 2010, Dean traded his marketplace career for Halftime Institute to help more people who, like him, wanted to expand their own "first half" success and skills into passion and purpose for meeting human needs and making a significant difference. Dean joined Halftime Institute as managing director and, in 2011, became the CEO. He speaks at events around the world, encouraging business leaders to channel first half achievement into a second half defined by joy, impact, and balance. He and his wife, Lisa, have two children and live in Texas.
