Jay Forte

Passionate to help other discover, develop and live what is best in them, to be ready for a great and amazing life, Jay, an executive coach, educator, author and poet, shares important life lessons in all he writes. In the Let's Activity Together and Let's Read Together series of books for kids, he helps families imagine, create and spend time together, away from technology. In the Greatness Zone, Along the Bumpy Road and Poems for Parents, he provides funny, poignant and relevant information in how to show up calm, present and able to meet the changes and opportunities that life routinely provides - from high school to retirees. Jay writes for all ages, sharing stories, poems and wisdom in how to bring their best to all they do, and make the world better in the process.

His work has been called profound, funny, entertaining and wise - a modern poet. Based on classical philosophical wisdom, his poems and prose activate creativity, imagination, contribution and personal impact.

When not helping people be their best, build stronger family bonds, laugh at challenges and learn how to make a better world, he writes, gardens, cooks and spends time with his three daughters and eight grandchildren, splitting his time between Connecticut and the Florida Keys.
