Art “Ski” Swiatkowski is a speaker, author, consultant and coach, who has been studying and working in the areas of personal development, leadership and performance improvement for the past 40 years. Using as a foundation, the works of great minds like Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Stephen Covey and many others, he has developed a special approach to the many facets of business and personal life. This approach focuses on living consciously, plus the power of the human mind to initiate change and the ability to create an abundant life from that power.

His many years in management and corporate leadership provided him with a laboratory with which to test the practicality of various theories and trends in performance improvement and people development. He has trained thousands of people in the financial services industry and spoken at conferences across the country.

With an active background in sports, which included playing collegiate football, semi-professional football and men’s lacrosse, he leveraged these experiences to gain additional insights into our ability to develop physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually in order to thrive in our competitive world.

A graduate of Drexel University, he lives in Bucks County, PA. Ski is married to Sharon (his wife of 45 years), a retired RN, turned handy-woman, who has done everything around their house except write this book. They’ve raised two wonderful children, Alexandra and Seth, and have gained a lovely daughter-in-law, Sonya. They all continue to inspire him.
