I love teaching and love helping my students succeed.

SUMMARY

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 decision-making, 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 to live your best life.

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 55+ years, I know what has value, what works and what doesn’t work.

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 conducting numerous workshops and conferences on three continents. My books include: (business) Transparent Management, The HST Model for Change, Earn Their Loyalty, Lean Thinking 4.0 and Mistake Proofing Leadership, (personal growth) Personal Wisdom, (novels) My First Ten Days in Heaven and Mayhem at the Open, (and golf), The Way of Golf and The Golf Gods.

Although now 79 and mostly retired, I am passionate about my new effort of creating online learning experiences targeting business leaders and people who want to add value to their lives. My courses will make your life easier, more productive, more enjoyable and meaningful.
