Case Study: Purpose Is The Foundation

OPPORTUNITY  I delivered a 2-day training for a global organization at Stanford University. The audience (126 leaders) learned how to improve communication and team engagement. The day began with getting clear on purpose: as individuals, then connecting their's to the organization’s.

BACKGROUND  When people understand their purpose and how that fits into the larger purpose of their company or organization, communication and leadership are more effective. People are often more productive, engaged, motivated, and happy. 

SOLUTION  I worked with the audience so they could get clear about purpose. By using empathy and story, they learned innovative approaches to leadership and team building. The training also included mindfulness, a bit of neuroscience, and nonverbal communication approaches.

RESULTS  “An amazing two days! I learned so much from you and loved your teaching!”
• “Your training and coaching are highly effective and extremely practical. I will definitely use my new skills!”
• “You taught us how new ways to communicate with our team (and with my wife as well)… I think that’s great!”
•  “We can use this method to build better relationships with our colleagues AND employees.”

Guiding purpose-driven folks to write a GREAT BOOK FAST (sure to work and attract CLIENTS BEFORE it’s done) 📚 Almost 5X int’l bestseller, publisher, sometimes spiritual coach 🧡 Radio / podcast host and guest

[new book soon] Whether you’re shopping for a gift, finding something special for your synagogue, or wanting to make your nonprofit fundraising more effective, "You’re Not Telling the Joke Right" is a joke book (and more) bar none.

(Coming soon, congrats to my client Dr. Marv!)

It’s for Jews and non-Jews alike who want to appreciate how comedy bridges differences, builds resilience, and transforms suffering into connection.

Jewish humor has always been more than punchlines. It is a survival tool, a cultural inheritance, and a spiritual medicine cabinet stocked with irony, wit, and the occasional oy vey. 

From the shtetl to the synagogue, from Ellis Island to the Borscht Belt, humor has carried Jewish families through centuries of exile, struggle, and reinvention. And it continues to carry us now.

This book isn’t just filled with jokes (although there are lots). It’s an invitation to connect with one of the oldest and most resilient cultures on earth through the lenses of laughter and humor.

"You’re Not Telling the Joke Right" is a reflection on the people, humor, and history that’s made generations laugh, argue, and endure together. 

It’s a way to understand the role laughter plays in holding a community together. And it offers the comfort of knowing that in a complicated world we still get to laugh, even when nothing feels funny.

• You will come away not just entertained but nourished. You will recognize how Jewish humor is the mortar that holds the mosaic of Jewish life together: different experiences, one shared story.

• You will understand why Jewish humor has shaped American entertainment and why even today it feels so universal.

• You will discover that humor does not just soften hardship. It preserves memory, strengthens identity, and offers hope.

And perhaps most importantly, you will be reminded that laughter itself is holy work. It is a way of choosing joy without denying reality, a way of practicing tikkun olam, repairing the world, one grin at a time.

Dr. Marvin Gordon, physician and storyteller, draws on his heritage, his medical career, and his lived experience in Jewish communities on both coasts to remind us why laughter matters. In these pages you will find the wit of great comedians, the wisdom of rabbis, the unfiltered honesty of children, and the kind of everyday anecdotes that only a Jewish mother could inspire. 

But more than that, you will find the deeper meaning that runs beneath the jokes.

This is a book for anyone who has ever laughed through tears, who has ever felt the sting of history and the balm of humor in the same moment. It is for those who know that survival is more than enduring. It is remembering, retelling, and laughing about it afterward.

If chicken soup is Jewish penicillin, Jewish humor is Jewish Prozac. This book delivers a generous dose of both.

Stay tuned!

(FAQ) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (get your book draft done by December)

1. “Can I really do it in five weeks?"

If you follow the method, guidance, and coaching, yes. But if you don't, you won't.

2. “Shouldn’t I wait until it’s finished to share it?”

No. That will cost your clients, partners, and opportunities.

3. “What if my draft is bad?”

The only bad draft is the one that's still in your head.

4. “I’m not ready to write a book yet.”

That’s why we start with a messy manuscript. Chances are, you'll never feel ready until you actually get cookin'.

5. “How will this help my business?”

Your book becomes a magnet. Clients see you as the go-to expert. Partners want to collaborate. Referrals flow more easily. And you can leverage your book in 42+ ways, many of them with minimal effort. In other words: your book multiplies your impact and revenue.

6. “What if I’ve tried before and stalled out?”

Most people have stalled out in the past. (Because most people didn't have a proven and effective way to get it done). 

That all changes the instant you join the course. :-) 

See you on the inside!
