Great Seminars & Books (GSB)

The seeds for GREAT Seminars and Books (GSB) were planted in 1958 when I was 5 years old and went to Miami Beach with my Grandparents. I loved being with older adults and hoped one day to make a difference in their lives. Then in 1978, when I was working on my master’s degree in Gerontology at the University of Southern California, I delivered a 3-minute talk to my class. After the presentation, a nurse, who owned a seminar company specializing in geriatrics, offered to pay me to deliver one-day talks on geriatrics for rehabilitation professionals. Off I went. I began in Flint, Michigan with 6 slides and 7 class participants and ended in NYC with 40 slides and 150 participants. I continued to lecture for various companies and years later I realized that I had a different vision from the people who owned these companies.
