Lollipop Moments
Greetings everyone. Please see the video above. I probably saw it 1,000 times, and I hope to see it many more. I open every seminar I do with this. I believe it speaks not only to leadership, but to life. And leadership is about life. It’s not a magical place that...
Those Caterpillars Will Become Butterflies
Hello everyone. “The Little Prince” is one of my favorite books. It is written as a children’s book but it has so many powerful life lessons. Here is one of my favorite quotes from the book: “Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to...
My Foray Into Podcasting
Good morning everybody. My relatively new transition has and continues to open up so much in my life, and I thank each of you for that. In particular, I am enjoying experiencing podcasts. It is my pleasure to have come to know a true artist in the field, Mike...
Finding the American Dream – With a Little Help from the NYPD
I would like to share how I came to become “brothers” with my dear friend, Mr. Lam. In about 1987 NYPD Lieutenant Jimmy Woods was a sergeant, training rookies in the 72nd Precinct, Sunset Park. One day Jimmy went up to the detective squad to check on things. One...

Legacy Through the Generations
When I visited my 106-year-old Uncle Louie in January for his 106th birthday I had a really nice and unexpected exchange that I’d like to share. While I was chatting with my uncle somebody came over to me and said that a man, who was also a resident, wanted to...
Partners, Friends for Life
I am often reminded of all of the sacrifice and pain that comes with this noble profession of policing I am lucky enough to be part of. And the more recent years, especially through the process of my development and growth as a Life Coach, I am reminded that we...
