Gerald S. Graham

My name is Gerald S. (Sandy) Graham, and I am the author of "See the Green$: Achieving Your Entrepreneurial Dream". At the time I wrote "See the Green$" , I was involved with business and management consulting, that included positions with Fortune 50 and 1000 companies, as well as working with small business and new ventures in my own consulting practice. My additional academic qualifications include an MBA, an MS/BA in Economics.

I wrote "See the Green$: Achieving Your Entrepreneurial Dream" for the fledging entrepreneur and small business owner seeking an understanding of what is required to build a successful new venture and business. "See the Green$" lays out a process based on my Four-Step Process: Envision, Plan, Execute, Attain., where I use golf as an analogy to business to illustrate not only the similarities in terms of preparation, planning and execution, but to show how developing a winning strategy based on my Four-Step Process can culminate in achieving goals, and consequently success.

However, my passion is golf. As an athlete I played golf, organized baseball, high school football, and pick up hockey. I have been an off-road cyclist, swam and been involved in sports all my life. But it is golf that jazzes me up. I am a member of the USGA, and have had a love affair with golf since my paternal grandfather put a customized driver in my hands at age five, and I promptly sent the ball down the fairway.

Using my consulting expertise and hands-on experience in goal-setting, motivation, visualization, imagery and positive-self talk, I have transitioned into sport and performance psychology and working on a PhD in Sport and Performance Psychology. My PhD concentrations is on the interrelationship between mental skills and performance, and how they involve, envelope and encompass motivation, purpose and goal attainment for the professional golfer and dedicated amateur player.

Presently, I am offering mental skills coaching focused on performance improvement through goal-setting, motivation, visualization, imagery and positive-self talk.
