Rock Solid Business Soft Skills
My set of LEADERSHIP SKILLS courses is ideal if you want to significantly improve your soft skills as a leader, manager or employee. Each course presents a specific topic; you’ll dive deeply into the content and emerge with newly acquired ideas and rock-solid soft skills. Many of the ideas and skills are unique to this set of courses.
Business is a balancing act of controlling and enabling others. As a leader/manager, you must be in charge, but also encourage the best from every worker. As you know, this isn’t easy. Make a mistake or two and everyone suffers. Rock solid skills have clear steps, easily followed and measured. And if you aspire to leadership, these skills will propel you upward.
My courses follow that old saying, "if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." I teach both skills and concepts. If you want both training and an education, this is the place, tools and ideas. Each course provides ideas to explore and skills to try out. You choose the topic and in about three hours or less, you’ll acquire rock solid soft skills enabling you to support and inspire your employees. Double asterisks (**) around a section or lecture denotes core material.

SUMMARY
1969 Began teaching college students
1973 Received PHD in psychology: 20 years clinical and 30 years organizational development

I am a "focused" educator. Instead of wide-ranging 20-hour Master Courses, I create courses focused on the most important elements of a subject. To build a high-performing team, I teach you how to use the Four-Part Teaming Model; for solving problems, the five-step Harnessing the Speed of Thought tool. Of the life-skills I teach, many I created, others have proven themselves for over a thousand years. You will learn what you need to know.
I don’t necessarily teach the best known or most popular method either, but based on my experience, you will learn the best method. After 50+ years, I know what has value, what works and what doesn’t work. I began my career in 1969 and have helped people achieve success ever since.
My background includes clinical psychology, behavioral medicine, sports psychology, university teaching, leadership & organizational development, business management consulting, and Lean Thinking leadership. I've taught at the University of California, San Diego, the University of Washington in Seattle, and St. Andrews University in Scotland among others as well as numerous workshops and conferences on three continents. My twenty-something books include business management, personal growth, golf, and novels.
Although now 78 and mostly retired, I am passionate about my new effort of creating online learning experiences targeting business leadership and people who want to add value to their lives. My courses will make your life easier, more productive, more enjoyable and meaningful.
