Let’s face it, the basics can be boring. Mastery is not only a choice, it requires discipline. I heard T. Harv Eker say that the most dangerous words adult learners can say to themselves are, “I know that.” If that’s your reaction — especially when you’re listening to a master teacher — mastery isn’t possible. When…
Picture this, you are speaking at a big conference. You notice the agenda is way behind. There is no way they are going to start the program on time. You see the event planners scurrying around doing damage control. You are the next one up. What can you do? This is exactly where I found…
I love my friend and Pastor, Vince Antonucci. He has helped me go from knowing God to having a relationship with Him. I must say, and he will back this up, that for many years he frustrated me! He has this amazing ability to connect The Bible teachings realistically to today. I love his sermons.…

You probably know the famous scene from the film When Harry Met Sally. We use this scene when coaching people in our workshops. It is such a great metaphor for showing people the change or effects of something really good. Have you ever stepped back and looked at how you are living your life and…
It was the mid 90s, and I was getting excited. I was an eager sponge. I was never a fan of studying anything, yet the subject of comedy and everything about it, intrigued me, and I started studying and learning more and more. It was fascinating, learning about comedians and their lives, habits and journeys.…
Every year around this time, I remind people of this powerful secret to tap into their own life stories. What happens when you get together with friends and family around the holidays? Conversation! Questions are asked, and stories are told. If your family and friends are anything like mine, you revisit the same stories again…
Many people who are spiritual will say that Jesus was a real person, a great teacher, of great moral character and a great example of love. In learning through my own journey I often don’t know how to respond to people when they know I follow Jesus. I often go to my mentors and ask…
