His role as a father, his work as a corporate decision-maker, his thoughts about the future that will face his children, and his professional career, have all been instrumental in his growing interest in such subjects as motivation, management, stress, energy, water, out-sourcing, and fiscal policies. Of one thing he is certain: never hide the truth. He also knows that as each person grows, and helps others to grow through positive exchanges and sharing, the world becomes a better place, and the future is brighter.
