I also studied The Work of Byron Katie extensively.<\/p>\n<p>I tried everything from walking on fire to meditation to counseling. I read books, listened to tapes, took personal growth classes and I studied neuro-linguistic programming and neuro-associative conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>I got really good at communicating in the business world.<\/p>\n<p>I have taught for the City of Albuquerque (a leadership program) and other businesses. I&#8217;ve taught in schools, churches and prisons. I also used my skills as a U.S. delegate to the Soviet American Citizen&#8217;s Summit Peace Dialogue in Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>I have taught from Hawaii to Hong Kong and from Alabama to Alaska.<\/p>\n<p>I have been interviewed by numerous newspapers and radio talk shows around the US. In addition, I made appearances on Russian news programs and have written my own column on communications.<\/p>\n<p>And after all that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I ended up with a divorce and two broken engagements.
