Business and Personal Coaching/Consulting (2002- ): In 2002, I decided to package my expertise and experience into coaching and consulting to pass the wisdom I've gained to small businesses and entrepreneurs. This major shift in thinking and the processes that made that possible kindled a strong interest in how human beings operate and how one can use that knowledge to bypass hardship and failure. This interest in turn begat my Masters studies in psychology and led to my book The Enlightened Savage.
