Welcome
Introducing the writings of author, consultant, former expat, banker, trainer, traveler, and otherwise unsettled Rod Jahner. Perhaps the only common thread is a somewhat snarky (ok, cutting) sense of humor.

About The Books
Never Do Anything Just Right
a memoir
Lived there, done that. Stories that make the wife's eyes roll.
A walk from North Dakota to places global and back again.
Written in vignette form; reader can move on quickly.
Done (finally) and PUBLISHED....
....which is the author's hint to buy one. While it will represent sixteen bucks you'll never see again, you are guaranteed to laugh out loud at least once or your money back. Ok, that last part is a lie, but it sounds so much better than groveling.
Find it on Amazon Books (now), and Kindle (maybe), and Audible if I ever get my act together.
Better Than One
A sequel. This one will be written via suggestions from family, friends and the occasional other person who have waded through THE ORIGINAL Never Do Anything Just Right and found the inevitable missing pieces.
Why the title?
A reader found the original book better than one other book.
Working sub-title:
Because I re-memoired some other stuff.
Ideas are already sneaking into my brain, causing other important things to flush out since unlike most, I operate at pretty much full tilt all of the time.
Don't Do That
Your biggest regrets, or my idea of what they might be.
Will make you laugh if your sense of humor is a bit warped.
Relevant stories from a lifetime of global exploits, mistakes, more mistakes, a great family, did I mention mistakes?
Sage advice that might even be a bit useful. You're welcome.
Let's keep the speaking engagements at less than an hour.
I have a plane to catch.
Train 'Em Old School
A user's guide to executive development training focusing on risk management professionals.
The culmination of a quarter century of face-to-face and remote-learning experience in 20+ countries and multiple large corporations as an employee and later a consultant.
Also advice on business writing, résumé development and a few other things.
Currently in Process. I'll speed up with a pre-order or ten.
