Turning Promise into Prosperity by Developing Superior Individual and Organizational Performance

During a career that spans more than twenty years, Theodore Henderson has excelled as an articulate, organized, and successful business manager, consultant, seminar leader, and public speaker. He has demonstrated a proven ability to build and maintain profitable, long-term relationships with a sophisticated client base.

In 2003, he launched a New York City-based firm providing both non-profit and for-profit consulting in entrepreneurship, education, and self-development. The firm specialized in facilitating a thorough business-planning process that delivers a coherent, easy-to-read business plan appropriate for new business owners as well as for prospective lenders and investors. He spent three years doing this as an after-school program aimed at young people as well as coaching adults under the banner of his church before returning to corporate life.

Theodore now works with individuals who want to use proven methodologies to manage their career. Additionally he works with those who desire to use biblical principles and Christian faith as a guide to success in all the key areas of life: spiritual, social, personal, family, and business.

He is passionate about speech, communication, career mentoring, and the application of biblical principles to business and personal success. Whether in his keynote speeches, his published articles, or in his seminars on faith-based approaches to personal financial issues and self-development, that passion is clearly demonstrated. Specific topics on which he speaks and writes include faith, God, and financial empowerment; communication and financial success; and dynamic communication.

Theodore holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance and Information Systems. He is a trained career coach, active in Toastmasters International and has achieved the level of Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) — the highest educational level currently offered by the organization — in recognition of his superior leadership and communication skills. He is also active in the New York City chapter of the National Speakers Association as well as other charitable activities.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 2 Corinthians 4:8 (King James Version) Many people are frightened these days and trying to figure a way to keep from losing their purpose in life. Finding your purpose is your first step in the fight to conquer your fears. Your reason for living isn't to spend all your time and energy on your job, or striving to purchase bigger and better homes or cars, etc.

Never forget that helping others is a blessing both to the giver and the recipient. An integral part of anyone’s march to solvency and balance in their life should be helping others. Can you really benefit your community by only working for and thinking of yourself? With that being said, debt and poor personal financial management prevents you from helping anyone or any organization consistently and effectively. Debt in and of itself is not wholly bad. The misuse of debt is what is really appalling.

It is always interesting to watch the talking heads on TV speak with such certainty about what would happen if we follow their advice on the economy, foreign policy, war, industry, and just about anything else they feel compelled to pontificate on. They apparently (if you believe everything they say) even understand how we should best conduct our relationships with family and friends.

But….

There are always plenty of articles and commentary written about rapacious lenders and banks taking advantage of the “little guy” by giving him too much credit too easily and then when most inconvenient for the borrower they hit him with higher interest rates or some other financial disadvantage. I’m not about to defend big banks but like any “addict - pusher” relationship you can’t have one without the other. Credit cards and charge cards are our most common type of short term credit.
