Thinking carefully about significant thoughts will change your life. I can help facilitate that process. Once a week I post a short essay on a topic that will enhance your life and help you lead well. The theme is broad � reflections on life and leadership. I want to make important thoughts easy to understand, hard to ignore, and practical. And I want to help close the �knowing-doing gap� � that frustrating gap between knowing what to do but not doing it. The topics will apply to both individuals and organizations so if you�re a leader, these essays will help you be a better leader. Who�s Don? I am 65 years old. I want to live until I die. I�ve written 11 books on a wide-range of subjects from emotional health to a children�s book on Proverbs. I have a Ph.D. in classical music. I�ve traveled to 45 countries, most of them numerous times. I wrote and teach a leadership development course � Lead Well. I am a Certified Specialist of Wine and certified level 3 with WSET. I read one book every week. I create pedagogical art. I am a member of Mensa. My wife is Mary, I have two grown daughters (Lauren and Sarah), a son-in-law (Jonathan), and two grandchildren (Marin and Benjamin). I am grateful for many friends who continually enrich my life.
