SAN DIEGO, Jan. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In 2019,
the affable author and keynote speaker, David M. Corbin, looked on in astonishment as
two of his books scaled the summit of the Wall Street Journal's
Best Sellers List. When asked about reaching this prolific
pedestal, Corbin replied, "Making the WSJ twice in one calendar
year is validating because, as we know, twice is a trend.
Truthfully though, the real payoff for me, although an honor, isn't
about making a list; it's more about making an impact on those who
consume it. What's gratifying is that it appears readers identify
with the sense of urgency my books aim to inspire. Deep down, they
know it's about dang time to get real, get going, and demand more
from their destiny! If my books spark a fire and allow them to
begin again more intelligently this year, then it was time
well-spent, and I am thrilled with the results."
A former psychotherapist with a background in healthcare, the
salubrious DMC is known by colleagues as "The Mentor of Mentors."
He makes an organic connection with audiences by practicing what he
preaches. "Be a good guy and live a good life." That's him in a
nutshell. A fun-loving jokester with a heart of gold and energy for
days. His comedic timing and jovial jabs have affectionately earned
him the moniker of the 'consultant-insultant-resultant.' David
wears it as a badge of honor and prides himself as a pragmatist for
professionals. His keynotes and books focus heavily on 'getting
real and taking back sanity in an insane world.'
Although Corbin doesn't take himself too seriously, he urges
everyone to heighten self-awareness and reflect before furiously
forging ahead in 2020. "Most of us are anxious to hit the refresh
button and shovel dirt on the decade of old. I get that says David,
but let's pump the brakes and take a personal inventory before we
do. This way, 20/20 can also represent the crystal-clear vision we
bring with us. Perspective is everything after all, and it's
crucial that we accurately identify what hurdles tripped us up and
why they made us stumble in the first place. Once the autonomous
autopsy is complete, then we can much more accurately acquire a
victorious vantage-point when targeting our 'New Year's
Resolutions.'
Corbin's best-selling business novel, "Preventing
BrandSlaughter: How to Preserve, Support, and Build Your Brand
Asset Value," consults readers on how to conduct a personal "ABI"
or "Audit of Brand Integrity." It helps gage brand-alignment
authenticity or illuminates the lack thereof. The story, well-told
through a professional's prism, demonstrates how you are either
building or killing your brand in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd degree!
Nothing is neutral. More importantly, it outlines how to recognize
brand slaughter to help avoid it, or rectify the wrong and never
commit the egregious act again!
Creating a point-system to help keep count is another way to add
some checks and balances to your yearly orbit. Enter David and
co-author Phil Wexler's latest book
of account (so to speak) appropriately entitled "PointCount: From
Image to Influence." Yet another WSJ topper, it provides a
contemporary look at a classic conversation between Founding
Fathers, Thomas Jefferson,
Samuel Adams, and John Adams. In an astute sociological
observation, our fathers found that within five years of an
official societal starting point that 20% of its working-class
would own, control, and dominate 80% of its real estate, politics,
ideology, and finances. The other 80% is what we now refer to today
as the rank-and-file.
Ultimately our patriotic progenitors ascertained that
collectively society's upper-crust shared numerous common
denominators. PointCount masterfully modernizes this aggregate to
appeal to today's professionals. Phil and David render it down to
ten key characteristics the readers can keep score on to assess
themselves for better or worse. Once you have your point-count, it
acts as a catalyst to either extrapolate upon your substantiated
strengths or address the identified inadequacies. Corbin wanted to
provide people with a proven social scoring system and said, "We,
each of us, unconsciously scan people as to these ten qualities to
determine if we are interested, disinterested, or ambivalent. For
example, one of the ten qualities is height, and obviously, you are
at the mercy of genetics on that one. However, there are numerous
categories you CAN address! Such as your sense of humor, depth of
knowledge, or ability to control tension, just to name a few. Hence
you can increase your PointCount, and this book will show you how."
I challenge everyone to give it a read, establish your score, and
set a target that becomes a resolution to reach by year's end. It's
a way to quantify your social skills and manufacture some success
in 2020!"
That's why David's rarified air of penning back-to-back
bestsellers is so easy to root for. He has our best interest at the
center of every book. He added, "I travel a lot, and I'm blessed to
talk to all different types of people with different stories and
circumstances. Not so surprisingly, there is one universal message
starting to prevail. People are tired of platitudes, regurgitated
pablum, fake news, and other divisive distractions. They are
looking within, taking personal responsibility, and ingesting
resources at a frenetic pace. Ideas and strategies such as my books
parlayed with the sense of renewal that comes with a new decade can
be a powerful transformational force if appropriately harnessed.
During my keynotes and consulting work, I am witnessing people who
are tapping into that force, and the raw energy is palpable.
Personally, I am basking in that glow, and it's refreshing,
rejuvenating, and most importantly, it's REAL! That's just the soul
food I need to stay sustainable for many decades to come!"
