Topics In The Academy

  • Creating a Personal Mission Statement

    A mission statement is the beginning of personal and organizational leadership. It provides overall direction and clarifies our purpose and meaning. Living by it, you are more likely to choose behavior that serves your values and reject behavior which opposes them.
  • Developing Personal Power

    If you are concerned with developing a sense of personal power, this educational seminar is for you. Each of us has the right to express and excercise our personal freedom without apology. This is the essenence of personal power. In this seminar, John explores two major aspects of personal power: methods of getting it and keeping it and attidtudes about having it and using it. Learn how the need for approval can undermine you and what to do to control it. 
  • Dream Work

    Dreams provide inspiration, information and solutions that can be revealed to us in no other way. Dreams draw attention to many things in life we fail to notice when we are awake. They point out our faults, alert us of danger, admonish us, caution us about ill health and present us with visions of the future. All dreams have one thing in common; they contain a message. Listen closely as John instructs us about the language, psychology and types of dreams. Learn how to begin remembering your dreams.
  • Love Addiction Part 1 and Part 2

    Knowing that our need to experience love is real, John prepared this educational series to assist those who wish to keep unhealthy addictive elements out of our love lives. In Part 1 of this two-part series, love addiction will be defined, and we will discuss when loving hurts too much. You will learn how love becomes addictive and be able to identify its 12 determining characteristics.
    Part 2 John talks about building healthy relationships. Mature love requires an internal system of self-parenting that offers unconditional self-love, wise self-guidance and strong self-support. In this second of a two-part series, John contrasts healthy love with its addictive counterpart and identifies 11 limitations of addictive love that may motivate you to move from troublesome dependency to mature, fulfilling love.
  • Manipulation, Martyrdom and Blackmail

    Are you a person who, when you say "yes", you really mean "no"? It should hardly be surprising with our emphasis on caring for others that we find it difficult to say no. In this educational seminar, John will train you on the four ways to say "no". No longer will you be at the mercy of those who would manipulate you. Learn to deal effectively with manipulation by practicing counter manipulation techniques guaranteed to keep you from ever being a victim again.
  • Passivity, Aggression and Assertiveness

    For all the progress we have made in self-esteem, too many people still experience feelings of anxiety and powerlessness that prevent them from expressing their feelings directly. It is crucial that you develop the confidence to ask for what you need and want. In this educational session you will learn the three basic ways that people act in any given situation: passive, aggressive and assertive. If you desire to learn how to act differently rather than habitually, you will want to pay close attention to this seminar on personality styles and choices.

About The Editor
This Issues Of Life repository is a legacy project carefully curated in honor of my father's teachings, stories and thought leadership for generations to come. 

Life's issues recycle over the generations and the stories shared here will resonate across time and space. As a youth, I spent my formative years listening to my dad’s daily radio broadcasts, attending his seminars and traveling the world as part of his educational tours. I had quite an integrated study into the extra ordinary perspective the way my father viewed life.

Like my father, I’ve committed my life to serve others, yet beyond talk therapy as a lifestyle health specialist. I learned the importance of self-regulation through life’s issues.
“My intent is to help others find the personal power and resolve that comes with mindful living.”
