Most people know me from my public life as a symphonic conductor, executive coach, host/broadcaster, and key-note speaker.

Many have commented through the years on my energy, enthusiasm, and zest for life. I would like to share with you something of my private life - the source of my passion, focus, and energy

 

My Mantra

Embrace gratitude; love unconditionally; encourage enthusiastically; listen patiently; serve truthfully; celebrate fabulously; live fully!

Coaching, Teaching, Mentoring:

My joy is to help people to discover the leader within them. I love to work with teams helping them to create, to own, and to sustain a culture, which empowers one and all. I am passionately committed to support a balance of men and women in leadership around the world. That balance will ensure inclusive benefit to one and all as we move forward together into the future.

Health:

My daily commitment is to maintain a balance of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health. I nourish myself with intention; eat organic and low glycemic; grow and share my own vegetables; choose foods that charge me to thrive.

Motion is key to my physical health. Yoga, gardening, cycling, swimming (preferably outside), walking, and weight training keep me fit and vibrant.

Nature:

My garden is a delight. I share it with all who wish to enter. Nature is all its wondrous form inspires me every day. Learn more

Spirituality:

Yoga is my daily practice. It opens my heart; calms my mind; fires my spirit. Yoga brings me home to myself to a place from which I connect intimately with those people I serve. Learn more

 

Reflection:

Meditation is the key to maintaining my center. From that place and in that space I find intimate connection both to myself and to those I serve. Reading informs my awareness, broadens my perspective, and opens my mind to continuous learning.

Music:

I love a wide range of music and continue to conduct. For example in May 2013 I returned to China for the fourth time for a concert with the Shenzhen Symphony. Every evening I conclude the day with playing at the piano.
