Frank D. Prestia
Helping you think creatively & divergently to improve your life NOW.
Warning…
Creative, pragmatic and divergent thinking is challenging, but can provide you with better decision making and improve many aspects of your life.
Hard to believe? It is good to be skeptical, but great learning requires the reasonable suspension of disbelief, not just criticism. Great learning requires you to confront your fears, biases and secret desires– this can be an unsettling, frightening and even an unpleasant process.
Ultimately, if you make a good faith effort to implement any ideas presented herein, you can test them for yourself. If they do not work, you can modify them accordingly or you can always resume your original method with a renewed confidence. However, if they work, you will have improved many aspects of your life by challenging yourself and your ideas. This entire process is the true path to mastery and happiness.
Background
As the first child of immigrants, Frank developed a creative, pragmatic and contrarian perspective to fulfill their quest for the “American Dream.” After an inauspicious start having to “repeat” kindergarten, Frank raised the bar for his entire family by becoming the first person in his family to ever attend college and then earn a law degree.
Experience
Frank has lived “many lives” as an overachiever and serial entrepreneur. The common theme in each of his experiences is that he takes calculated risks with high risk-reward potential, always outworks the competition, always leaves everyone he interacts with better than before and never compromises his ethics and principals.
Pedagogy
Frank believes learning should be so immersive and engaging, that you do not even realize you are taking a Socratic approach to resolving challenges, prophylactic measures to prevent reoccurrence and pragmatic strategies to help flourish thereafter.
