The Dash

I’m an educator/trainer/coach at heart.  I started a career out of college in the field of human services and worked there for 6 years.  I learned a lot and even moved up to the position of Director in my last human services company but eventually learned that I was not ready for a long term career in that field.  So, I moved in the field of teaching (strange story: my parents saw a video that I had done in my senior of college and felt that I would make a great teacher but they didn’t tell me this until about 8 years later.  They felt that if they had told me, I would have just done the opposite anyway.  Was I THAT rebellious?).  I taught middle school English for about 5 months and then got a full time position as a high school science teacher.  I did that for 7 years.  I was nominated for the Who’s Who Among American Teachers by some students but I’m pretty sure that award was received by most of the teachers in the school since you have to PAY to be included.  Maybe I should have paid. While I was teaching, I started a web promotions company, Kay3Music.com, and a web design company, Kay 3 D-Zynes.  I was great at interviewing and getting into places.  I stunk at marketing so ultimately, the promotions company didn’t make much money.  I was great at learning new code and new designs but was just really learning about managing projects and people.  Oh, by the way, I stunk at marketing too, so while we had some great clients, the web design firm didn’t earn enough to continue growth. I was an online college faculty for two years but eventually got into instructional design and elearning development.  I started RKCS Learning Solutions in 2009.  I’m still not great at marketing but I’m learning that I don’t have to do it myself.  There are actually people that get paid for this.

Pioneering jazz-rock drummer and composer Danny Seraphine is a founding member of Chicago. Worldwide the iconic group has sold over 122 million albums, and, just domestically, earned 22 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum albums. In 1990, after 23 years in the group, Seraphine and Chicago had a jarring parting of ways, and he left music behind for 15 years. But a call to play a benefit show for a fellow drummer pulled him out of seclusion and sparked a creative rebirth.   Today, Seraphine looks forward with Sacred Ground (Street Sense), the sophomore record from his jazz-rock powerhouse group CTA—often described as “Chicago on steroids”—and he makes peace with his past with the refreshingly candid memoir Street Player: My Chicago Story (Wiley).   Seraphine is critically acclaimed as an instrumentalist and a composer. Rolling Stone Magazine recently ranked him as one of the top 100 drummers of all time. When he was coming up on the music scene, legendary jazz drummer Buddy Rich called Seraphine his favorite young drummer. Recently he was awarded Cape Breton Drum Festival’s prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, an honor he also received from the Montreal Drum Festival. He’s an endorsee of esteemed drum companies such as DW drums, Remo drumheads, Zildjian cymbals and drumsticks. He also has released a well-regarded instruction DVD titled The Art of Jazz Rock Drumming, distributed through Drum Channel. As a songwriter, Seraphine co-wrote the Chicago Top 40 hits “Lowdown” and “No Tell Lover,” as well as core Chicago tunes like “Little One,” “Take Me Back to Chicago,” “Show Me the Way,” “Birthday Boy,” and the irresistibly funky “Street Player,” later sampled by rapper Pitbull for the hit “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho).”

Kim has always felt like she was designed specifically to help people in a personal way. When she was exploring various coaching systems, she sensed several flaws that repeatedly showed up in the coaching ideology. Kim noticed that many coaches would focus solely on goal-setting, and then hold clients accountable for their actions that were necessary to meet their goals. “By and large, people know what to do in order to reach their goals, they just aren’t taking action. The question is why?” Kim explains. Kim realized that the one and only thing stopping each and every client from meeting their goals was their thought patterns. Every client wanted to meet their goals, but something – a very big, persistent something – was preventing their success.   Kim’s discovery sparked her desire to start a coaching company that focussed solely on thought management. She knew that if she helped people remove the thoughts and beliefs that prevented their success, achieving their goals would be no sweat. Kim found that journaling was the quickest and most efficient way to access a client’s thought patterns and belief system. She began coaching using the tool of journaling, and found that she could help propel substantive and lasting changes in client’s lives and careers.

Hello dear visitor and welcome to my home on the internet.  When I started this site late last year, it was a project of soul searching.  I was a successful entrepreneur who had an IT consulting company.  I was living the “American Dream” with a large house, new cars, a beautiful family and yet there was something missing.  And it was strange because as an immigrant coming to US at the age of 14 I seemingly had accomplished everything my parents hoped I would.  However, I didn’t feel fulfilled.

Thus I decided to take a giant leap of faith and seek out my essence.  I took all the things I loved doing but was always too busy or too mature to do and did them.  I took acting and Improv classes, got my spirituality certifications, took martial arts, started writing books, eventually even got on radio and played a role in a film.  It took about 6 months to shuffle through everything until I clarified and understood my purpose in life and what I was here to do.

I figured out that I am here to Inspire others to Re-calibrate their lives, find their soul purpose and transition to living it.  This site is now here to show you how I am living mine and to help you with yours.

?Jody Whitesides was born In New York city to two very proud parents. Jody’s mother, Mary Whitesides is an accomplished interior decorator, and his father Kim Whitesides a commercial illustrator. Both knew at a very early age that their son Jody had something very special about him. By the time Jody was nine his parents had had enough of the day-to-day grind of New York City, so they picked up and moved to a much quieter place, Park City, Utah. It would be in Park City where young Jody would begin his journey into the wonderful world of exploring curiosities and possibilities. Jody began playing little league baseball, soon to be followed by a deep love for racing Radio Control cars. By the time Jody was 17 he won the number one driver of the year in the Stock Car Class. Jody also found he had a special talent and skill for freestyle skiing; Jody was at one point ranked in the top twenty nationally. By the time Jody was twenty he had learned how to play lead guitar, so he enrolled for a semester in the prestigious Berklee College of music in Boston, Massachusetts. When a friend called Jody and told him his chances of making it would be better in Hollywood, Jody then enrolled in the Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, California. Jody has now turned into an accomplished songwriter as well as an exciting stage performer and lead vocalist.
