Dr. Andrew S. Kane, OBE, Ph.D. has experienced the heights of professional, personal, and academic success yet also suffered the devastation of loss, most notably that of his 27-year-old daughter in 2008. Nothing can sharpen the thrill of success by having experienced defeat.

These experiences have permitted Dr. Kane to witness his journey through adulthood and to write about it using his knowledge and experience including those from his professional and academic pursuits.

Today, he positively impacts people at all stages of transitioning through adulthood by sharpening their decision making, developing their relationship, emotional intelligence, and resilience skills to enable them to be better people, achieve better results, and enhance their wellbeing in order to positively impact their employees, families, and communities. He touches the heart of many by helping people address the issues that impact their heart and tear at their gut such as deep losses or life events by addressing midlife challenges, fears, and conflicts in understanding and working with younger generations such as Gen Z and Millennials.
