The most often asked question I get is, Why? Why have you been so busy with corporate opportunities since your retirement? Haven’t you had enough?

My answer is always twofold: first, when you love what you do, it is not work; it is fun, and I love helping others develop their potential and succeed.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, I have been blessed my entire working career. I have basked in the glory of accomplishments, and I weathered my share of failures.

But even the baseball great Babe Ruth struck out 89 times in the year he hit a record-breaking 60 home runs. Another baseball hall-of-famer, Reggie Jackson, holds the record of the highest number (2,597) of lifetime strikeouts. Neither Ruth nor Jackson is remembered for their miscues. Ruth and Jackson were not afraid of failure. Ruth and Jackson, and others like them, are fondly remembered for their successes. I have battle-tested wisdom that I want to continue to share with others what I have learned to do and what I have learned not to do to be successful.

My primary focus is to help business leaders at all levels ignite their passion for success, by developing their hard and soft skills to the benefit of their professional, personal and community engagements.
