I'm a Certified Coach, Teacher, Speaker, Author & Entrepreneur. I want to be the best that I can be by helping others be the best they can be. My purpose in life is to help others reach theirs. My vision is changing the world one mind at a time.

Born in Venezuela and reared in humble circumstances in a Christian home by my grandmother on the island of Curacao. My gratitude in this industry of Leadership & Personal-Development is not from the view-point of me getting wealthy, but a true desire to share my personal growth.

What I share is not only out of a text book, but learned the hard way by trail & error in my personal search for a successful life. Before starting ELS-Global (a personal development company) I have been an entrepreneur for the last 50 years, owning several businesses, including a Real Estate Company & won several international sales awards.

I effortlessly want to share my experience, for it helped me, and I'm convinced it will also be of help to others If I could have turn my life around & create great wealth from scratch coming from humble beginnings anyone can. Believe you me I was a handful & a pain the neck growing up, and I was the most difficult person to work and deal with in every sense of the word.

The essence of what I teach is "Self-Discovery." Leadership dictates the direction of your life; career, business, relationships, income, health and so on. You have to take Leadership of your life. You have to lead yourself. The first person that you lead is you. You do it first "LEAD BY EXAMPLE" A true leader doesn't tell, a true leader shows; Self-Leadership is the highest form of Leadership. It is the most important Leadership principle there is; "people do what people see and not what people say."

No matter what it is that you most definite want. You can have it! I share practical, direct action, personal-improvement principles & values, an easy to use formula that any one from a seven year old to ninety four years of age can understand & practice. and if apply consistently....will help them achieve peace, love, success, joy happiness, wealth & abundance.

In closing I have a deep concern for the pain, difficulty and struggle that ordinary people all around the world are experiencing with these difficult times & the global financial crisis this world is in today.

I believe it is my responsibility when I learn something of great value to share it with the world, to make a difference in the world & to help as many people as I can, to find true happiness, joy, peace of mind, & financial freedom. I love people and want to serve them. I love to see people blossom. I believe in human potential. My destiny is to help others reach theirs. So help me God.

Sincerely, joining The John Maxwell Team led me to raise my individual ability, learning the John Maxwell Principles & Laws of Leadership, live them & teach them. As a J.M.T. certified Coach, Trainer & Speaker I can influence others to become great leaders. Presently I am writing my first two books..... '"Discover your inner-powers" (for personal development) "Anyone can learn to Lead." (on leadership) "God is a salesman" (sales & self help)
