  • What We Can Learn from the Painter of Light

    There is much to learn from everyone. In particular, when someone has achieved phenomenal results in life, much can be gained from a study of their triumphs and tragedies.

  • Communication

    "Interconnectivity" seems to be the category in which most technological advancement is directly impacting our lives.

All my faculties were consumed with the fear of my impending doom. What was so downright terrifying? I was about to give my first official public presentation. I…

  • Charisma – The Key to Opportunity

    Everyone has experienced walking into a room of strangers and not exactly knowing what to do.  Where do you sit? Who do you talk to? What do you do with your hands? Is everyone looking at you? What are they thinking? These feelings of insecurity are natural, but they don’t have to be permanent.  In…

  • Don’t Waste Your Failures

    Here is a brief excerpt from one of my upcoming books (as yet untitled and unfinished): I was in a bookstore one day browsing through the section on historical fiction.  I am a sucker for a well-written novel set in a real historical time and involving characters from our past.  Thumbing through the familiar names…
