Interview with Career Strategist and Author Robert Patterson

The author is represented by the interviewer's Pump Up Your Book Promotion, a public relations agency specializing in online book promotion. 

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio Reverend Robert Patterson, Sr. is the father of six children (five sons, one daughter) and the loving husband of Mrs. Linda Patterson.  He is a grandfather as well as a great grandfather.

As a member of Walker Chapel Church (The Fifth District), he has served in various capacities, from the Usher Board to the Steward and Trustee Boards.  He has taught both Sunday School and Bible Study and has served in each department to the best of his abilities.

Reverend Patterson is a strong advocate of education and cultural awareness.  He likes teaching and having the interaction and discussion of both Bible Study and Sunday School with the congregation in order to get down to the nitty gritty.  As he is fond of saying, “The day that you stop seeking knowledge, is the day that you most surely are dead.”

We interviewed Robert to find out about his new book, Five Steps to C.A.L.M. (Career and Life Management).


Thank you for this interview, Robert. At what point in your life did you make up your mind you were going to become a published author?

I have been a motivational speaker for some fifteen years and during that time I have addressed people from various levels of education and business in areas from personal appraisal, career exploration, and strategies for effective job searches, interviews, reviewing job offers, and resume writing.

It was during that time that I came up with the idea of having people address themselves as the [product] which would solve their customers [the employers] problems.

Can you tell us a little about your latest book?

A father once told his young son, who was going out into the world on his own, “Son, whatever you want to become, be the best.”  This course teaches you how to be “the best.”
