Parenting Dad (&/Or Mom)
Creatively Influencing Leadership Values
My Parenting Journey
I asked for and gained initial physical custody when my marriage ended in late 1981. The kids (Kim - age 3, Lance - nearly age 5) and I invented a series of creative growth games which helped us focus on our values, philosophies, and have fun all the while overcoming challenges in a complex world of tremendous change. Every day started and ended with joy and thanksgiving. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
For over 20 years, I have shared the fun, laughs, possible benefits & results of our lessons and techniques with audiences.
Professional Experience
I have shared the essence of my parenting lessons, which I adapted from my professional managerial and technical experiences, as an adjunct faculty member of the University of Phoenix (Sacramento Valley Campus System) where I was twice awarded the distinction as Outstanding Faculty in Business Administration.
I have conducted management training sessions for GE, where I was recognized as earning the highest instructor evaluation in a 3-year period. I recently conducted training for physician chiefs at a large hospital. I shared a game invented by daughter Kim at age 6 (the Wishing Well Game) with over 100 dads and their kids at the Second Annual Fathers Spring Festival at Las Lomitas School, Atherton, California.
Industry Contributions and Education
I have contributed in several industries (mostly high technology) from very large Fortune 500s: GE (3 Divisions), FMC (2 Divisions), IBM, Motorola, Applied Materials, and Tandem Computers (which is now part of HP). I have earned degrees: BS Electrical Engineering, and Masters of Business Administration.
