hose I am privileged to serve enjoy at least three characteristics  (besides a love of laughter):

1. They are the stewards of an organization's future, even an organization of one.

2. They carry in their heart a fire to gain ever-deeper awareness of what is essential—in their business, in their life, and in the moment—and how to act on that awareness.

3. They are resolute in their intention to communicate to their world in a manner that is emotionally penetrating, meaningful and memorable—reflecting deep regard for one’s audience and oneself.

e are blessed to be alive at this time in history. With increasing intensity, life asks, "What's it going to be, friend, love or fear?"

Health, we are learning, is measured by resilience: the ability to respond to any eventuality with kindness, compassion and understanding. This holds for organizations as well as for you and me.

hrough what one client has termed "enlightened conversations" with me, I help others address whatever professional or personal situation they face through the mirror of my sense of how to engage life's two most important questions: "What's going on? And what's the healthiest choice I can make in this moment?"

Brainstorming with individuals, and engaging in dialogues with groups (whether via keynote addresses or more interactive forums), are two types of "enlightened conversation" I especially welcome.

I also serve those who need someone who writes like a freight train driven by Mother Teresa, or at least aspires to.

• I am capable of creating and being the voice of a brand—specifically a voice that is playful, loving and deep.
• I create 21^st century resumes: portraits that illuminate the richness of one’s experiences—including the rewards of adversity.
• I write essays celebrating the most fear-provoking point of view the world has ever known: Everything is a gift. Simply to entertain such a possibility can shine fresh light on our every belief, opinion and choice. You’ll find enough essays on this website to tattoo an elephant in small print.
