More About the Author

I've been counseling, coaching, and teaching since 1987. My credentials: licensed mental health counselor, board certified addictions professional, board certified clinical hypnotherapist, and certified master relationship coach.

(My team tells me I should also state that I've overcome the perils of addiction, the darkness of depression and a heart-retching divorce to become one of the "leading authorities on positive mental health, successful relationships and winning the Inside Game of Life"...I think they may have exaggerated it a bit, but they are my team!)

I have spoken to numerous companies and organizations on stress management and work-life balance issues. The short list: Allstate Insurance Company, American Marketing Association, General Electric, Magellan Health Services, Mary Kay Cosmetics, National Association of the Remodeling Industry, University of South Florida, University of Tampa and Verizon.

In my book Marry YourSelf First! I share with the readers how to win "the inside game of relationships" by first creating a powerful relationship with yourself.

People ask their toughest questions at www.AskKenDonaldson.com and I respond in my blog posts, on downloadable audios and in online video clips.

I was also one of six people who received the 2006 Tampa Bay Health Care Hero Award.

I was recently labeled as "Dr. Phil mixed in with Buddha and Salvador Dali."

I have appeared numerous times on NPR, Good Day Tampa Bay, Daytime, Fox 13 News, News Channel 8, and Studio 10 TV, as well as in The Tampa Tribune, the St. Petersburg Times and Tampa Bay Times.

I'm interested and interesting; thoughtful and thought-provoking; and compassionate and understanding of the human condition.

I've been on the frontlines and in the trenches with people's issues and challenges...I have a good pulse of what people want, need and are struggling with...and I have creative and innovative solutions!!

This review is from: Marry YourSelf First! Saying "I Do" to a Life of Passion, Power and Purpose (Hardcover)

Marry Your Self First is amazing. When I first ordered this book, I was already in a great relationship, but sometimes more concerned with making the relationship work than staying true to my heart. As a result, this would take me off my course and cause problems in my relationship. After reading this book and using the workbook, I am clear about my passion and my purpose. Now, it is easier for me to stay on course. Since my relationship with me is clear, my relationship with my boyfriend is fabulous....AND we are creating our future together that fulfills all of our passions. Thank you Ken for providing this information in a fun, empowering format.

Donaldson has done a great job of providing a road map to finding and maintaining a relationship of "passion, power and purpose"! This book should be required reading for anyone wanting more out of relationships and life. Donaldson is a respected therapist with years' of experience, and he is able to present important concepts in easy-to-understand and PRACTICAL steps to finding and maintaining a great relationship. I use his book as a resource regularly. Al Lyons, Licensed Professional Counselor, Asheville, NC.
