Career Coaching - Your Secret Weapon

If you are looking for a voice of experience, or a sounding board for your strategy sessions, or someone to help you navigate your way to achieving your professional, artistic or entrepreneurial dreams, contact me to sign up for coaching sessions.

I spent years walking down the expected path.  While I was a lifelong musician, I put some of those dreams on hold to pursue law school and a big law firm partnership.  Once I achieved those traditional goals, I realized that I was in the wrong place for me, and that there was so much more I could do with my talents, energy and drive.

As a social and arts entrepreneur, I launched a solo law practice to focus on the needs of non-profits and the “little guy”, and also launched the Allentown JazzFest and the Allentown FilmFest, bringing in a fresh and new approach to arts programming into the Lehigh Valley region.

As a teacher, I lecture on innovation and entrepreneurship at Cedar Crest College in Allentown.

With 30+ years behind the drum kit, 20 years in the legal profession, and a whole lot of time spent in conference and board rooms (and classrooms), I can be your secret weapon in achieving your goals with one-on-one coaching sessions and content that is designed to get you where you want to go – whether it’s an arts, non-profit, or social initiative you want to carry out but need some managerial level advice.

If you have a large scale arts or non-profit project and you want to retain me as a consultant, please email me.

If you have a legal question, that’s a totally different thing!  Please email me here.

Social Entrepreneurship In Days of Avarice

Social entrepreneurs can and should change the world.

A friend of mine, when he found out I was teaching a college course on entrepreneurship, asked how I defined the term "entrepreneur".

My answer?  One who takes risk to create a pathway to value.  

That sentence can launch many questions.

What do you value? Money? Time? The well being of others?

There is an old saying in the legal profession: Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. The subtext of this little gem of wisdom is that it's ok to be a little greedy, but don't go nuts. Moderate greed is acceptable, beneficial even, but excessive greed kills. (I don't ascribe to this, incidentally).
