"Give us a buck. We'll plant a tree" was our original slogan.

Our services not only help reforest the world's cities and forests - they provide direct.

Originally went to Japan with the promise "come here, set up a company as an independent contractor, leave in 90 days and we'll pay you for a year." Turned out to be a 12 year stay and founding ARC. We created training centers in 7 Japanese cities; 2 in Taiwan; then Hong Kong; The Philippines; Korea (a complete wreck -- lost over US$500,000 through.

Designed and delivered high-impact experiential leadership training with over 500,000 graduates and over 1,000 corporations served.. Founded in Tokyo and expanded throughout Asia and then the USA. Branded personal growth experiences as Life Dynamics.

After my graduation from the MDI seminar I enrolled family, friends and colleagues into the training. Unpaid volunteer effort because I noticed that the training improved their lives and thus our relationships. I didn't understand the training -- just knew it "worked" and certainly didn't know anything about the company.While working as a sales manager and.

A one month consulting engagement to discover if I wanted to accept founder Werner Erhard's offer of the CEO role for this fast-growing training company. Wonderful experience however it was "not for me." Wanted to continue my entrepreneurial journey.

Organized and funded this start up. Sold to staff who expanded company nationwide with over 700,000 graduates of personal development seminars.

Great learning experience but somewhat disappointing, even painful "ending." Failed to get my early team focused, aligned and committed so sold the company to staff. The classic "no money down and forever to pay" arrangement and, as often happens, they took longer than forever to pay! Today in my Mentoring, Consulting and Training roles with executive.

Recruited, trained and managed a skin-care sales force of 30. Starved at times.... eventually became an award-winner (cars, trips, recognition) and did sales training for my region one week a month -- first in Milwaukee then New York City.

Started as Outside Collector in Green Bay. Transferred to Milwaukee in 1963 as Assistant Manager then in 1964 became youngest Branch Manager in company history. Made small loans to individuals; solicited sales contract businesses in auto and direct sales; and recruited/trained/managed a team of 6-10. Put on my shirt, tie and suit plus wing-tips every day.

Ran "the Board" for a succession of DJ/Announcers from 6-9 AM weekdays before dashing to high school. Did the same on weekends. Great learning experience.

I learned later in life I had been acting out an underlying purpose of "I refuse to be poor." I did everything I could to make money and left out above picking beans and strawberries and cleaning milk cans for tips. After my Father's death in 1958 from my earning as a DJ and personal appearances, I essentially supported my family -- my Mother and three.
