My Story...
A common thread throughout my life has been my evolution from being a “teacher” to becoming a “learning facilitator” with the ability to promote the value and potential of another person through unique insightful and provocative counsel.
I began my professional life as a school teacher/athletic coach, then transitioned into the financial services industry for a 25-year career as a sales person, sales trainer and general manager.
In 1995, at age 52, I turned the page on my professional life as I left the financial services industry and founded what ultimately has become SURVE Partners, a unique and innovative consultancy focusing primarily on the Art and Science of Personal and Professional Development. My motive for this dramatic professional transition was based on my increasing awareness of my own personal struggles with finding meaning, fulfillment and happiness as a highly paid professional working for an international insurance company. As a result, I have created and pioneered unique learning processes that contribute directly to the significant increase of a person’s ability to be more productive and influential while at the same time experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life .
Men and women who have benefited from my work are from all walks of life and of different ethnicities that include business leaders, religious leaders, entrepreneurs, sales professionals, professional service providers, educators, students, and more.
In 2011, I wrote and published my first book, “seeds of Intent”, which became an Amazon “ Best Seller” in November of that year. I wrote this book for the person who has a desire to live life more fully while experiencing less worry, fear and/or struggle. Throughout the book, I share examples of my own struggles and learnings from those struggles to help the readers better understand that their lives are in essence their instruments of learning, and that they are not their past. The book has had many powerful reviews, including one from Kirkus Review, known as the world’s toughest book critic.
