As the author of two books, with two more on the way the first half of 2012, as well as an executive coach, leadership consultant and professional facilitator, I pose this question: Why should you read my material or work with me? 

I am a creative synergist, bearing a unique blend of strengths. I will help you (and perhaps your team) connect the dots to see the larger, strategic whole, provoking game-changing epiphanies that lead to new behaviors and better results. 

And I will do so in an engaging manner that’s hard to pick off of the shelf, drawing from multiple disciplines such as organizational and industrial best practices; literature; film; theater; music; psychology; philosophy; and mythology, in order to create powerful learning moments that can be applied just-in-time for enhanced performance. Furthermore, I will tap my hands-on experience in fields as diverse as customer service; telecommunications; health care; financial services; ministry; and publishing. There are few professionals with whom I cannot relate and find some way to add value in a fun, inspiring manner. 

Please visit the pages on this Web site, to learn about what I write and who else I have helped; including the blog entries that begin just below, which provide a feel for how I think. You can also follow me on Twitter and Linked in as well as "like" my Facebook author page (look just to your upper left). Thanks for your time and consideration, and I look forward to partnering with you.

I just viewed the Oscar-nominated movie Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane. The heart of the film is the juxtaposition between the fate of the 2002 Oakland Athletics—re-built after a free agency gutting, through a system of statistic...

Yesterday was fun. I helped facilitate a strategic planning offsite with one of my leadership teams, on a docked “ship” located along the Tennessee River. It was a different, energizing atmosphere for both brainstorming and team-building....

Facebook friends are particularly crucial during severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings that take place in the middle of the night. One feels a little less afraid and certainly less alone, sharing the common misery of wishing we were all asleep an...

Part of my frustration was not knowing what to do. I did not know what I did not know, what the other teens seemed to grasp in terms of how to engage the high school culture and find a place to thrive. The world was churning like mad all around me...
