Read his unique, raw and compelling memoir about how he recovered from his
childhood trauma with the help of this long-term partner--and how that recovery
led him to start Authenticity Consulting and its focus on cultivating authenticity
for others. "Among my Dakota and Absaroke people is a saying that I
can only really translate into English using a double negative: 'I do not remember
a time when I did not know him.' It is intended to point out and compliment
one who has had a good, significant impact on another, an impact so great that
one's history is changed. That is what I say to you, Carter, I do not remember
when I did not know you." Teri McNamara, PartnerTeri facilitates Board development and strategic planning, and has participated in a wide range of other organization development projects.
