Speaking Engagements

I want to talk about the therapeutic value of serving your community.

After my son’s died, my faith was shattered. My subconscious mind was saying God you had the power to save my sons, but yet you let them die. I came close to walking away. One night I received a call to serve on the board of management. This call came at my lowest point…I could hardly get out of bed in the morning. But I did take on the challenge which was substantial and it helped me ease the grief.

The lesson is…when grieving get involved with something you are good at. Could God have had something to do with that telephone call? If so, it certainly worked.

I want to talk to you about attitude.

In business they say that attitude equals altitude….and as a fellow involved at a very high level as a deal maker, I can tell you that you have never heard words with more truth to them. And as a father who lost two sons, I can say that attitude really matters when dealing with grief.

Pain is about attitude as much as anything. My attitude changed. There are many examples of this occurring in life. One item I read talked about serious injuries causing great pain during war. One third of those injured required morphine every few hours ….two thirds chose to take no morphine at all. Physiologists determined that those who made it through without medication were grateful to have survived the battle.

The lesson is…be grateful for what you have. Attitude helps ease the pain. You really can make a choice to curl up in a cocoon or you can soar like an eagle through attitude….both in business and in your personal life.
