From an early age, I was taught to believe in myself, trust in my judgment, and listen to my heart.
I graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and was fortunate to get hired by Coors Brewery in their newly formed Packaging R&D group. Our job at Coors was to improve the performance of the packaging lines and reduce the cost of the containers.
During this time, Coors expanded across the US and launched several new products. I led several new product development teams in these efforts. I learned a lot about having a positive, can-do mindset and used these skills/techniques to fully recover from my TBI.
After leaving Coors, I started my own business and launched a new product in the packaging industry where I learned even more about sales, confidence, and thew importance of having a positive, success mindset.
I’ve been a research manager, entrepreneur, and solopreneur. I am highly trained in leadership, accountability, project management, sales, lateral thinking (creativity), and what I call Success Aikido.
Success Aikido is developing the mindset to take whatever is happening around you and turning it to your advantage to further your mission. With Success Aikido, you become unstoppable!
A few days after turning 50, I suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) while bicycling after work. I was struck head-on by a SUV, was in a coma for 10 days, and nearly died.
As I began to recover, with my brain slowly coming back online, I could once again think and rationalize. The TBI recovery process is very slow (several years), and I committed to using my skills, attitudes, and mindset to fully recover. I ignored the doctors' advice and prognosis.
My complete and full recovery is testimony to the efficacy and validity of this material.
I've now been inspired to share these techniques and mindset with you. Everywhere I go I hear people complaining - saying "I can't", putting themselves down, thinking small and negatively. It became obvious to me that most people don't realize or use their personal creative power. We all have this power, but few consciously use it to improve their situation.
I love sharing these attitudes and powerful mindset with you, so that you too, can create a great life for yourself.
I know from personal experience that life is much more than how much money you make. While this is important, it's just a piece of the equation. You also need confidence, a great overall attitude, and a positive, "can-do" mindset.
Along with a positive mindset, understanding your creative power, living from a place of love, practicing gratitude, and enjoying your current adventure makes life grand!
With these key ingredients, you too, can significantly increase your Personal Power and create the life of your dreams!
