  A special note here: As productive as therapy can be, don't become addicted. By that I mean don't use it as a crutch. Professional therapy is there to help identify issues—real issues, past or present—for the sole purpose of aiding you in dealing with living life. A productive life. Your life. Whatever cards you were dealt, you need to adopt a "let's move it along" type of life.
  Therapy is a tool, and only a tool, you apply to help you break through that psychological wall. That's it!
  As a mere mortal, I am of the belief that the ability to heal and move on is not a matter of a person's cranial capacity as much as it's everyday common sense. Get what you need and move forward. Press on. Considering that we are all part of the superior species, don't forget that we in fact discover, learn, and adapt mainly through our own faults and failures, as well as those stupid over-the-top fiascos. At the very least, we damn well should.
  Need help? Get it. I'm all for it. But at the end of the day, the beginning of the day, and throughout the day, self-reliance is the key.
  Let me ask you this: Isn't it a little asinine that there are some who crave independence, who all the time demand respect, but can only function by becoming completely dependent on others?

conversations.value: Forgive me, dear reader, for you know I'm on a rant here, but as my dear friends who proudly wear the badge in the law-enforcement field preach to me, "If they buy the tickets, you're obligated to give them the full ride." I look at the whole CEO escape plan this way: Everybody takes a chance—in love, in health, in the world of business, and in just about all aspects of the virtual unknown. **We take a chance.** To me, stepping out and reaching beyond one's boundaries is what makes life all the more exhilarating. You just never know what might happen next.
  In my opinion, particularly in the business world, the last great leader who truly stepped out beyond the norm, who took one hell of a chance and put others first without the aid of a golden parachute let alone a covert plan of escape, was Lee Iacocca, of the then Chrysler Corporation. He was able to turn the company around in part by applying common-sense business methods, cutting needless overhead, updating techniques and equipment, and holding firm to the ideal of better days ahead. Now, I can imagine that ol' Lee stepped on a few toes and called a spade a spade and took a few raps to the chin, but no one questioned his sincerity as a leader.
  And he did all of this, if you can believe it, for the whopping salary of one dollar a year. Lee gave every ounce he had not for untold millions, but for one hundred pennies a year. Now, as an adult you can appreciate the fact that when the company turned around, Mr. Iacocca was very well compensated—as he darn well should have been—but only after those he was accountable for were taken care of first.
  Does any of this sound parallel to the most vital position as a leader: a parent? Do any of the preceding examples remind you of how one should act as a spouse, relative, friend, neighbor, or everyday plain John or Jane Citizen of Anywhere, USA?
  Question: Are you leading by living or are you simply coasting through, collecting dust along the way?

conversations.value: A retired air force air crew member, Dave played a major role in Operations Just Cause, Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. Dave was selected for the unique task of midair refueling of the once highly secretive SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 Stealth Fighter. While serving in the air force, Dave worked in juvenile hall and other programs involving "at-risk" youth throughout California.
  Dave's exceptional accomplishments include commendations from Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, as well as various other heads of state. While maintaining an international active-duty flight schedule, Dave was the recipient of the 1990 J.C. Penney Golden Rule Award, naming him the California Volunteer of the Year. In 1993, Dave was honored as one of Ten Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA), joining a distinguished group of alumni that includes Chuck Yeager, Christopher Reeve, Anne Bancroft, John F. Kennedy, Orson Welles, and Walt Disney. In 1994, Dave was the only American to be selected as one of The Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP), for his efforts involving child-abuse awareness and prevention, as well as for instilling resilience in others. During the centennial Olympic games, Dave was a torch bearer, carrying the coveted flame. Dave is also the recipient of the 2005 National Jefferson Award, which is considered the "Pulitzer Prize" for public service. Other recipients include Sandra Day O'Connor and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
  When not on the road or with his son, Stephen, Dave lives a quiet life in Southern California with his box turtle named Chuck.
  Dave is a living testament of resilience, faith in humanity, and personal responsibility. Dave's unique and inspirational outlook on life, coupled with his Robin Williams–like wit and sense of humor, entertains and encourages business professionals to overcome any obstacle while living life to its fullest. This is what makes him one of the most exceptional and unequalled personalities in the public-speaking arena today.
