Book Description
The Business of Families teaches how to master proven successful skills used in business around the world and apply them effectively in families. Practical, insightful, and teachable moments are on every page, taking readers inside such organizational skills as values, discipline, personalities, conflict, and goal setting that translate into the language of healthy families. The journey begins with values and progresses through traditions, communication styles, decision-making skills, responsibility, discipline, praise, and even apology. An uncanny likeness to your family will quickly emerge and you'll find yourself wondering if The Business of Families is actually a biography originating from within your home. Do not read this book in public unless you are comfortable laughing out loud as you see and hear yourself, your family, and your co-workers jump off the page into your life! But if you read it in private, be prepared to do some serious soul-searching about how you live your life with your family. The Business of Families is a guaranteed prescription for changing something important when you get home tonight!
About the Author
Ray A. Snyder is a native of Charleston, SC. He graduated from The Baptist College at Charleston at the age of 20 and was commissioned as one of the youngest officers in the United States Air Force. Later learning the business of training and development with Milliken and Company and the South Carolina State Ports Authority, he served as a Senior Consulting Partner with The Ken Blanchard Companies for more than a decade, earning his MBA from Charleston Southern University along the way. His work with hundreds of the largest and most influential companies and government agencies in the eight nations has made a difference in not only those organizations, but in the lives of tens of thousands of parents and children who have heard his message. Ray has served with his family in Romania, working with volunteer missionaries to build an orphanage and mission center for homeless and hopeless Romanian children. His hundreds of stories teaching life lessons and values translate perfectly in the language of a hungry and abused child. At 48 years old, he exercised his "Halftime," cutting his travel schedule of 120 days a year by 80%. His NEW career fulfills his passion to help people "Win the Game" by teaching them to create happiness, success, and wealth with Biblical integrity. Married since 1975, Ray and Kathy have raised two daughters, Megan and Mary Ann. Their extended family now includes Paul, Megan's husband, a half-dozen friends of Mary Ann from the College of Charleston, and Rufus, an adorable Berkeley (a little of all the dogs in Berkeley County) adopted from the pound in 2003.
