Son to father... Father to son...

I want a close relationship with my DAD but don't have it

I want to be a great DAD and I don’t know how

Dad says he loves me but I just don’t feel it

I’m trying to express my love but the kids just don’t get it

My Dad deserted us when I was a kid, now how am I supposed to father

I can handle a staff of 50 at work but not two teens at home

Any of those stories your own?

Here’s my story

My father was a very successful engineer.
But he and I never got along
We fought all the time.
One day, when I was 17, I told him,
"I always wanted a close relationship with you,
but we don't have it."

I watched as three tears squeezed out of his eyes.
He said, "I've been trying your whole life,
I just don't know how to do it."

Since that day, we haven't argued.
I got it.
I understood his deep love for me and his pain.

There are a lot of successful men out
that can handle a staff of hundreds,
but not two teenagers at home.

They love their kids dearly.
But they don't know how to express it
in a way that their kids understand it.

Which means there's great pain
in one of the most important relationships in their lives.

I offer adventure programs
that create the environment
for this relationship to blossum.

I offer coaching program for fathers
so they can become Great Dads.

The benefits are a lifetime of intimacy
with the most important people in our lives,
and children who feel the love.

Short but precious thoughts to grow with

Those who want to leave an impression for one year should plant corn; those who want to leave an impression for ten years should plant a tree; but those who want to leave an impression for 100 years should educate a human being.
Ancient Chinese Proverb

It is the weak that are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the truly strong.
La Fontaine

The place to improve the world is first in one’s own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.
Robert M Pirsig

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Abraham Lincoln

Thunder is good. Thunder is impressive, but it is the lightning that does the work.

My First Born Son

Years ago,
when my first son was born,
My parents where there in the hospital helping out

After long hours of labor
After insufferable back labor
Finally the prize was born

Later that afternoon,
as my parents where about to leave
after twelve hours + of being there at the hospital

Standing by the doorway of the hospital room
the proud new grandparents look back at
my wife, son and I
and

My Mom turns to my Dad
and asks
"honey, do you think it's safe
to leave the baby here with the kids (my wife and I)"

We had all had a good laugh - but there was truth in Mom's wisdom....

What's a Perfect Moment

As far back as I can remember, when the family gets together, we relive old stories of "Perfect Moments".
These cherished times and stories weave the fabric of our shared experiences and relationships.
Stories bind generations and lives, a most valuable treasure.

Here we will share ours and ask you to share yours.

Just for the record:
PERFECT implies the soundness and the excellence of every part, element, or quality of a thing.
MOMENT is defined as a comparatively brief period of time. Often a time of excellence or conspicuousness.

The Perfect Client for me

I work best with clients that:

Are ready to speed up their personal evolution
Are committed to the long run
Are serious about their relationships

Love adventure
Pine for the wilderness
