While my collection of topics may seem a bit eclectic, there are a couple of common threads that run through them. One is that all of my messages are counterintuitive, contrary to what our human nature and conventional wisdom suggest. People recognize the value of this unusual way of thinking when they tell me "You don't think like other people do. You look at the world differently than others do. You see things others don't see, yet what you say makes perfect sense." Through my books, you'll discover the secrets to having these comments directed to you. In the process, you'll attract opportunities instead of pursuing them. The second common thread is that any and all skills we develop are equally applicable to our personal and professional lives. That's why you see both personal development and business development topics in my collection. A CEO that I was coaching regularly got job offers for more money, told me stories about his wife and kids that indicated his relationship with them, which was already strong, had become stronger and he gained so much influence with the Elder Board in his church that they invited him to become their administrative pastor. The keys to enriching all aspects of his life appear in my book, Stand Out From The Crowd. Regardless of whether your interests are personal, professional or business, you'll find tips that'll accelerate your growth and enrich all aspects of your life. Enjoy!
