Biography

When I was asked to co-author a book with Brian Tracy, Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard entitled "Discovering Your Inner Strengths" I knew instinctively that I would write the chapter on courage. "Little Courage - Big Rewards" encourages those struggling with life decisions that require an act of courage. For many a small act of courage can be crippling because of their inner fears. My life experiences with small acts of courage beginning as a small child have compelled me to help people reach through their fears and design the life they desire and deserve. "Reaching for the Brass Ring" is a lively, down to earth, at times laughable keynote to inspire everyone to be what they want to be, and do what they want to do - NOW!
