ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Author of A Ranch Day Retreat, Chuck grew up in the Midwest and the Carolinas. His earliest riding experience was on his grandfather's eighty acre farm in Ohio. His uncle also kept horses on his country ranch and he learned basic horsemanship early. He took lessons at MacNair's Country Acres in Cary, N.C growing up. His father became Executive at a prominent breeding farm in Lexington, connected with the Breaders' Cup, a preeminent Kentucky breading farm with bloodstock including many Derby Winners). Chuck worked the grounds at the farm, mainly landscaping and tree tending with no prospects of professional horsemanship whatsoever although these days he enjoys riding at in Pacific Palisades at Will Rogers nearly weekly.

He went into Software sales for Internet Start-Ups and in the Fortune 500 where he trained and managed national sales forces. As an entrepreneur he has started and run several businesses. Along the way he has taken the numerous self development, self-improvement and requisite national-level sales training courses typical in corporate sales. One workshop that impacted him most profoundly was Success:full Living. A course by a Franciscan fryer, Fr. Justin Belitz. The course has been taught all over the world, and translated into several languages. Chuck became one of the first certified instructors for Success:Full Living, which he has taught privately and at the college level.

He later became President of the Board for Fr. Justin's retreat center in Indianapolis, The Franciscan Hermiatage, where he served for several years. "This priest was teaching meditation, and he personally took a lot of flack for it. I applied it to business and goal setting. I remember wishing I could teach it in a business setting, which would have been absolutely absurd over twenty years ago in the Midwest" recalls Wolf.

"Although things have changed, I'm always interested in seeing businesses adopt and embrace similar practices. When "The Secret" came out and gained such wild popularity I kind of shook my head at the mainstream adoption of the same ideas. It's very interesting to approach the concept wearing a suit, but as a performance and productivity tool, I have yet to see a more fundamentally sound and applicable tool, technique, system, or mechenism than goal setting with a quieted mind...and I have taken an active interest in it ever since."

Ranch Day Retreat is geared toward the non-rider. It's primarily a day of "active relaxation" and time-out, but in a workshop format that provides usefull take- aways in the form of tools and techniques that provide lasting benefits. Look for his book, A Ranch Day Retreat on Amazon.

The one take-away I hope spreads is the continuous move away from coercive dominance and control to compassionate cooperation as the most effective, and natural, leadership style.

Chuck Wolf lives is in Los Angeles, California and holds a BA in Psychology from Indiana University.

The Other Side of Safety: Moving From Results-Based to Behavior-Based Safety 2nd Edition
Book Description
This book, grounded in extensive research, challenges the prevailing "Results-Based Safety" paradigm, arguing that its singular focus on outcomes over behavior has fostered dysfunctional, fear-driven safety cultures. It targets business and safety leaders responsible for shaping organizational culture, influencing behavior, and making critical decisions related to safety practices. The book aims to equip these leaders with insights and strategies to enhance their leadership, improve operations through genuine people performance, and cultivate a healthy, sustainable safety environment. Drawing on over two decades of experience in human performance improvements across diverse industries, the author advocates for a people-centric approach that applies scientific rigor and common-sense applications to truly motivate safe behavior and move beyond the limitations of punitive, results-obsessed traditions.

Redeeming Failure: Failing Forwards through a Study of Acts
Book Description
Many people struggle with failure, even Christians. Some of us are very successful in certain areas of life and cannot understand why we fail in others. Some of us stop trying due to fear of failing. We face failure in the circumstances and people around us, in our own personal shortcomings and character flaws, and sometimes we fail to make a difference that we can see in the world. By looking closely at the failures of the early Christians throughout the book of Acts, this Bible study will help you examine your own failures in light of God's purpose and will support you to keep failing forwards despite discouraging times.

This five-week workbook study incorporates a wide variety of sources, a deep experience of reading and contemplating Scriptures, and plenty of space for writing reflection. The study is written to be useful for individuals as well as for small groups and provides discussion questions for those who are working through the study with others.
