New Year, New Focus

by Jon Alexander Martin

Greetings to all of my friends and colleagues out there! It has been awhile since you've last heard from me. Here I am, refocused, celebrating my company's second birthday now and beginning my third year. Can you believe it? I sure have difficulty wondering what happened to the time, how it quickly to goes!

I have been hard at work these last 7 months. I know, I know, you have been asking, 'where have all my amazing newsletters been?' I know that you all look forward in anticipation to them each and every month. Well, I have good reason for it all. Simply put, I spent a lot of time really focusing in on a niche working with teams and organizations, I took on a business partner and started writing a book.

Peak Performance through Conscious Perturbation. Interesting niche huh? Well, that is part of it. In lay-mens terms, I am going to be working with teams and organizations to consciously create an environment for high performance through leadership training, coaching and facilitation. I am extremely excited about working in this area. It fills me more than any passion that I have ever had in my life. I have already worked with numerous organizations and have had great success. Some of the executives I've worked with believe that the work my partner and I bring in will help them leave a true legacy.

What can I say about being in partnership? Not enough. I was blessed six months ago to begin a business relationship with an incredible person. Her name is Janet Dang and she resides in the San Jose, CA area. She is a very experienced senior business executive who spent 25+ years working in Silicon Valley. Together, her and I have blended a lot of our ideas and energy to create a process and system to teach organizations how to achieve peak performance. Our system is very unique and unlike anything that is being done in the corporate world. For more information about Janet, check out her 'bio' in the 'About' section of my website.

Mining diamonds. That is a concept that I will be explaining to you further in my upcoming book that I am co-authoring with Janet Dang. This book is very exciting, as it will be outlining and giving people and organizations a road-map on how to consciously create space for success. It will explain a lot of 'soft skill' terminology (change, energy, communication, awareness, etc.) from a scientific and natural perspective. Even though we sometimes forget, yes, we are a part of nature. Look for future updates on this. We are looking at a late summer/early fall for release of the book.

I would like to thank all of you out there who have supported me and believed in me. I know that sometimes the things I have spoken to you before may have seemed 'out there' or confusing. You all have helped me so much in refining a message that I feel is one of the most important things to be brought back into our lives so that we can all live together in fulfillment.

To living a fulfilled life,
