Having said that...

My passion and mission is helping people realize and develop their potential to be a great leader.

I believe that leadership is not about position, title or rank. Leadership is the ability to offer service and the willingness to take action.

As an entrepreneur and business owner myself, I understand the complexities of building and sustaining a profitable enterprise. Since 1988, I have successfully developed and marketed customized keynote presentations, training programs, professional consultations and products on leadership and customer service.

The opportunities to work with executives, managers and front-line employees of U.S. and international corporations has given me a bird's eye view of the leadership and customer service strategies that work in business today.

Additionally, I am:

-- Author of "The Leadership Journey," a web-based leadership development series
-- Author of "We Need to Talk," to be released in early 2010.
-- Writer and Producer of "Transformational Leadership & Service" newsletter and podcast
