instructional techniques or formats such as simulation, team exercises and group discussions. He records an online podcast, "Navigate to Greatness," on Sound Cloud that can be accessed from his Public Figure Facebook page, Click Here!.

"The world is full of pain," says Foster. "We need more inspiration, more guidance, so people can find their greatness and liberate others to do the same."

Ty's father was killed while serving in the U.S. Navy when Ty was five years old. Surrounded by gangs and violence, he grew up to become a successful businessman despite the odds. This accomplishment fuels his passion for inspiring personal change and human achievement.

In Kansas City, Mo., Foster presented "The Power of You" and "4th and Goal" to groups such as Hallmark Cards Leadership Training, the International Association of Administrative Professionals and as keynote speaker for the US Coast Guard Auxiliary Fall Ball Symposium.

Since last October, he has focused his efforts as speaker and consultant in the Salt Lake City areas, using the 3Gaps philosophy, a timeless and powerful presentation in corporate training. It was developed by the founders of FranklinCovey, a multibillion-dollar worldwide training organization.

"We've all been miles apart from the things we want and need in our lives and the reality of our present situations," says Foster. "Companies large and small face the same dilemma. The longer we allow that gap to remain, the greater the risk of losing it all. Closing three essential gaps in our lives will open the door to new possibilities and allow us to get closer to our real potential.

"With the ever-increasing problems in the world today, corporate executives, employees and individuals alike are searching for the piece of happiness, inner peace, contentment and confidence to sustain them and to provide added motivation to move onwards and upwards. 3Gaps offers up a simple but proven methodology and if followed will propel anyone to greater levels of success and happiness."

authority in the field of hip surgery. Born in Columbus, he trained at the top medical centers in the nation, was one of the founders of the Peachtree Orthopaedic Clinic (POC) and served as doctor for the Atlanta Hawks for many years. 

Dimon, who died last year, was said to have practiced the "art of medicine." He believed that being present with someone who was hurting, either mentally or physically, was as important as surgical or medical intervention.
