When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
I’ve always wanted to be a writer, but it really became clear that I had a strong desire to write when I was working on my first master’s degree. I was assigned to write a story on the birth of Jesus; Mary and Joseph from a modern perspective.
What genre do you write and why?
Motivational/Inspirational/Leadership. I have spent most of my adult life as a leader, coach, mentor, trainer and in these roles, I have been able to help people become strong and effective leaders. For me it’s all about helping people become all that they are meant to be in their lives.
Tell us about your latest book.
My latest book is entitled, Failure Is Not The Problem, It’s The Beginning Of Your Success. It’s all about changing a person’s mindset to understand failure is simply an experience. I engage and challenge the reader to embrace failure as the greatest resource to get her/him from where they are to where they are meant to be, on their way to becoming successful. During my research I found out that most people hate to even broach the topic of failure. Therefore, in conjunction with my book, I wrote a workbook and a journal to help ease as well as introduce my readers to the topic of failure and the positive aspects, rather than the negative expectations of failure.
