Serengeti Wisdom

Surviving Your Serengeti is a Business Self-Help book that parables the Author’s life experiences and personal knowledge of one of the Wonders of the Natural World, the Great Serengeti Migration in Africa.

What is your Serengeti?

What is your personal ordeal…your burden…your battle…your challenge?

Every day another company cuts jobs or slides into bankruptcy forcing hundreds of thousands of Americans into uncertainty, anxiety and a sense of helplessness. With a failing economy, even the normal tribulations of life have been intensified, so that regular hardships may seem insurmountable.

For the 2 million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles in Africa, their Serengeti is a 2,000 mile-long migration filled with hunger, thirst, predators and exhaustion. Their journey is so impressive, so dangerous and so incomparably massive that is offers us a unique window into the very essence of life.

In this journey we observe first-hand the wisdom and skills of 7 different animals. We learn how they use their specific strengths not only to survive, but also to thrive in the wild. Discover how each of us can apply those same skills to our everyday lives and to our careers and companies.

The wisdom of Surviving Your Serengeti reveals that no journey is ever too long, too far or too difficult. It reassures us that nothing is impossible, that we can overcome any obstacle and survive our own serengeti.
Surviving Your Serengeti is due for publication Summer 2010.
