An Australian native,
Randall Clinch has faced tragedies faced by many adult learners. He was a high
school drop-out who spent two decades as a bricklayer and did not even learn to
read and write until he was thirty-two. He fought a debilitating back condition
that severely restricted him. He lost his son to cancer at the age of 12.
From these adversities,
he created the Attitude by Choice Program (ABC) that has been successful in
helping individuals in the corporate sector, schools, government and other
organizations, to develop the ability to choose thoughts, emotions, and
habitual behavior patterns that enable these individuals to mould their own destiny.
Through his “Choice” message, individuals have been able to change destructive, negative
attitudes that have interfered with their learning and life successes.
