I had the great fortune to visit both Tashkent and Andijan, Uzbekistan last week. What a beautiful country and equally beautiful people. MaryKate Callahan (Para-Triathlon) and I conducted Master classes in swimming and track and field to the coaches and athletes with disabilities in the region. This was part of a state department initiative to help the Uzbeckistan Paralympic Committe with growth opprtinities as well as assist the international Paralympic committee in building and sustains the member nations.

Here from the only female voice men will take driving directions from on this weeks edition of, "Creating Life's New Normal." Karen Jacobosen is one of those rare people who sets her sights on a target and then has the wherewithall to actually pull it off. At the age of 7, sitting in front of a television in a small Australian town, where the number of poiseness snakes outnumber the people (probably a good reason for that), Karen spotted the iconic Olivia Newton-John  It was then she knew what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. Tune in as we explore how she had to recalcuate several times over.  Listen in as we uncover the Karens 5 lessons learned so that we too might recalculate in life. When she is not telliing all of us where to go and how to get there, she hones her professional craft as a musician, performer, voice over artist, and professional speaker, or is just out somewhere with her 8 ear boy.

What does a spitfire television judge, winner of the game show, “The Weakest Link”, and daughter of a Vietnam Veteran have in common? Well, everything. Why..because they're the same person. This week on, “Creating Life’s New Normal,” I interview actress, attorney and game show winner, Tremecca D. Doss. We explore how she creates her new normal through excellence, education, and fun. Tremecca can be seen on television serving as a legal analyst on TV One Network’s, “Fatal Attraction”, Discovery ID’s “Deadly Women”, and Oxygen Network’s “Snapped: Killer Couples.” Tremecca is an avid sports fan and couples her passion for law by being a legal commentator on issues arising in the (NFL). She also worked as a production coordinator and reporter with the NFL/Tennessee Titans Radio Network during the Titans’ 1999-2000 Super Bowl season. However, I think the most profound substance of this amazing woman is her respect for the men and women who serve the United States as part of the Armed Forces.  It was her father

What would you do if you broke your back?  How would you feel if the doctor told you, "you will never walk again."? What action would you take next? These questions and more are answered in my next segment of Creating Life's New Normal as I interivew the amazing Alana Nichols. Alana is a two-sport phenomenon in wheelchair basketball and alpine skiing. She grew up in Farmington, N.M., and was an avid snowboarder throughout her youth. In 2002, however, Nichols landed back-first on a rock while attempting a backflip on her snowboard. The injury caused her to be paralyzed from the waist down. Nichols didn’t let her athletic career stop there, though, as she began playing wheelchair basketball just two years later. Her talent in the sport ultimately took her to the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, where she and Team USA earned gold. Shortly after the Beijing Games, Nichols moved to Colorado and picked up adaptive alpine skiing through the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park. At the Vancouver 20

Opportunities knock, but sometimes the door opens slowly. Every athlete needs support. When new wife and bobsled superstar Elana Meyer–Taylor (1 silver; 1 bronze medal) wanted to become the first woman to pilot a four-man bobsled at the USA National Championships, she could not find a single man to sign up for the ride. However, she had an ace in the hole. She knew who would do it. She made the call to husband Nic Taylor, a great bobsledder in his own right, and now a skeleton driver, who eagerly accepted to be the brakeman on his wife’s quest. They picked up two more athletes and Elana drove into bobsled history besting all but two men's teams. How did they do it? What lessons can we learn from Nic and Elana to pilot our own lives? Tune in 9-11am EST to hear this incredible journey.

Two great guest today. Both are from Oakland, CA and are truly inspirations. My first guest is Arif Khati who is the founder and curator of The Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame (formerly African American Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame) which was established in 2000 in Oakland, California to broaden public understanding of ethnic history and celebrate the role of cultural diversity in the growth of professional sports. Arif has literally inspired tens of thousands and kept important figures of American history in the forefront of society. My second guest is prolific and profound. Ashlie "Reign" Williams is a hip hop artist (minister) and professional speaker. She is truly a gift and sees a world where people pursue passion instead of security, where people love themselves more than the thoughts of themselves, and where people live in the right now rather than the moments that have passed or those that have yet to come.  She sees a world where the mind body and spirit agree and God is easy to see.

Success is overcoming obstacles on the way to your dreams. It doesn’t happen by accident. There is a pattern, a template that these accomplishments have in common. Karl Mecklenburg knows a thing or two about having a template.  The former Denver Broncos Captain and All-Pro Linebacker Karl Mecklenburg rose from being a college walk-on and a 12th round draft pick to a pro career that included six Pro Bowl and three Super Bowl appearances. Considered the NFL’s most versatile player, Karl played all seven defensive front positions. Bronco coaches wanted him at the point of attack and would move him throughout the game. There were many games where Mecklenburg played all seven positions in the course of a single game. Now a professional speaker and a member of the distiguished Certified Speaker Professional, Karl’s speeches give you the Six Keys to Success that he used to rise from a college walk-on to the most versatile player in the NFL. Tune in live, with me your host John Register, to have a chance to talk w

How many times do you have an opportunity to go back in time and analyze your peak performance? How many times is that done by talking directly to the person that beat you? Well, in this edition of Creating Life's New Normal, I have just that opporutnity.  Today I speak with Lukas Christen won the gold medal at the Paralympic Games Long Jump Gold medal in 2000 in Sydney Australia.  I won the silver medal. The topic was of interest to me after I rewatched a NIKE commercial featuring the great basketball legend Lisa Leslie which stated, “You don’t win silver, you lose the gold.”   Well, I won the silver medal. After thinking about this commercial, which I used to be in agreement with, I thought about it and concluded that this really is an entitlement mentality. Lukas, who is on the line from Switzerland, and I explore this topic as well as our strategies for preparing ourselves to compete at the highest level in sporting competition. This is a great show for business leaders who are looking to understand

From the rough-edged courts of New York City and recruited by Coach Pat Summitt for the University of Tennessee’s Lady Vols, Chamique Holdsclaw was hailed as the “female Michael Jordan,” impressing crowds with her artistry, athleticism and drive. A 3-time NCAA champ and Number One draft pick in the WNBA, Holdsclaw seemed destined for a spectacular professional career—until her long-suppressed battle with mental disorders emerged to derail her career and threaten her life. Holdsclaw was expected by many to use her electrifying talents to raise the league's popularity and visibility. But as chronicled in the newly released documentary, "Mind/Game: The Unquiet Journey of Chamique Holdsclaw," her battle with mental illness would eventually trump any opponent she would ever face on the hardwood.. "I just knew that mental health was definitely a taboo topic," said the three-time NCAA champion, who was drafted by the Washington Mystics in 1999. "I remember when I first came out about it in D.C. how embarrassed I
