My passion is to be a resource for people who are serious about being professionals at living. You can see how I do this at www.MikeMonahan.com.I believe that each of us experiences defining moments in life. And it's up to us to seize the opportunity in those moments or let them pass us by.In Fall 2013, I retired from my 19-year tenure as CEO/executive director for Life Success Seminars Inc., a Cincinnati-based nonprofit that empowers people to make positive life changes.Why? It was time for me to dedicate myself to doing what I love, which is being a resource to others through writing, coaching and speaking. It's time for my message to reach more people.Building on my 25-year history in the personal-development field and my work with thousands of people, I focus on energizing and inspiring individuals to think differently and take action.Through my writing, coaching, speaking and facilitating monthly seminars for Life Success Seminars, I'm blessed to help people remove self-imposed blocks and connect the dots in their lives. This allows each person to use their unique abilities to accomplish their goals and dreams.On a personal level, I'm dedicated to achieving my own goals. I committed to writing and publishing 25 books to reach a broader audience. My first book, "From the Jungle to the Boardroom," debuted as a #1 Inc. magazine bestseller, followed by "Occupy Your Future" and "Your Future Is Stuck in Your Past."
