Just a few short years
ago people like Kenneth Lay, Martha Stewart and Dennis
Kozlowski were highly respected professionals on the top
of their games with flourishing careers. What happened?
How do smart,
educated, successful people get themselves into so much
trouble? For me and the executives of Enron,
Tyco and WorldCom, to name a few, we were guilty of the
same critical thinking errors.
How in the world did
someone growing up in Iowa farmland with Mid-Western values
and ethics come to experience what I’m about to
share with you?
I KNOW HOW!
I had A LOT
of time to think about it...4 years in prison
to be exact.
White-collar crime and
corporate greed in America seems to be running rampant.
Why? Is there an “early detection”
system?
Yes there
is…
My name is Patrick Kuhse and
I’d like to take you on my own personal journey,
from successful stockbroker with a loving family and home
in the suburbs of San Diego, to the jungles of Costa Rica
as an international fugitive, to incarceration in two
countries and back again.
What I didn’t realize
at the time was how my thought process and poor decision
making skills were similar to the stories we are reading
on the front page of the newspaper and hearing about on
radio and television today.

Allow me to present the wake up call I wish had been given
to me years ago.
I wasn’t paying
attention to the warning signs.
I CHOSE to
ignore them.
Let me show you how to
pay attention and recognize them
before you or your loved ones are lured
in - before “seemingly unimportant decisions”
change your life forever.
Each of us is faced with moral
and ethical dilemmas every day. At times, ethics can be
a moving target that hides behind the seductive
siren of greed. I will show you the warning
signs and preventive techniques to keep your moral compass
pointing true north.
“Failure is success if we learn from it”
