In “No Surrender” Bruce Springsteen sings, “We learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned in school.” I went to school. I have a degree in Economics from Duquesne University. Any writing assignment that was required of me to write and submit, I did. But I didn’t learn to write in college.

I learned to write after college. A healthy dose of unemployment provided me the tools to “train my brain” to think the way a writer must think. Once I did that, and obtained objectivity in my thinking, I was able to write in a variety of formats, with merit, find employment (then a business), travel extensively and lead the life of a person with a creative soul.

I teach a unique writing class. What makes my class unique is that it focuses on the cathartic and ancillary benefits of writing. I’ve taken advantage of those benefits in numerous ways. A list of those benefits can be found in my book, How To Be Old. All for-profit, non-profit and government entities should be offering writing programs for their executives and employees—regardless of their position in the organization and/or their age.

Use my contact information or LinkedIn to find me so we can discuss how writing programs can benefit you and your workforce.
