EXPERIENCE
I have worked for over 30 years with people in tough situations ranging from high pressure jobs to terminal illnesses. I have worked in substance abuse and with people who have had children and other loved ones die. I have worked with business people trying to stay sane in crazy times.
I have worked with people dealing with cancer and AIDS and chronic illnesses such as MS, diabetes, hemophilia and MD.
I have spoken across the country to well over 100,000 people in business, health care and education. I have spoken at schools to kids and parents. I have had six books published and did a six part series for Public Television. I have been quoted in magazines and newspapers around the world.
I have worked with helpers; nurses, counselors, social workers and educators and helped them get CEUs. and keep their hearts and spirits alive. I am a jazz pianist and composer.
In some ways perhaps the toughest situations I have seen are the too many people who live their lives with hearts that have lost their fire. It doesn’t have to be that way.
