Echoes Across the Tracks
Life Lessons Through Unexpected Connections
An unexpected connection with a New Orleans cab driver leads Charlie, a Business Consultant and Author to hear Echoes Across the Tracks. Expecting a routine flight to O’Hare Airport, Charlie finds himself, instead, drawn into a 20-hour adventure aboard a high-speed Amtrak train covering an amazing 944-mile journey. During his travels, Charlie encounters charismatic business people and fun characters that hop on and off 18 historic train stations in a feel good story that offers a personal transformation. In the hours that pass, newfound friendships lead to lessons that prompt reflection in your own experiences and life choices. Echoes will leave you with a smile and a sense of purpose as you join Charlie on this unforgettable trip to Chicago.

Echoes To Remember
Crossing the Tracks of Incredible Customer Service: Modern Business – Marketing Methods & Salesmanship
In the first book, Echoes Across the Tracks, Charlie hops aboard a modern train from New Orleans to Chicago rather than rebook through the airline after his flight has been canceled. His adventurous and at times mysterious experiences on the train to Chicago lead Charlie to share and learn life lessons from characters that cover an expanded time period, including time in 1914 Jackson, MS and Memphis, TN.
Upon arrival in Chicago, our aging business leader, Charlie, questions what he can and can’t share about his time travel experience for fear of being misunderstood or seen as senile. What happens over the next 48 hours has Charlie even more strongly committed to sharing his years of business experience and reminding those in his path that quality customer service can be provided by anyone willing to consider the other person first and remembering it is all about them.
Zig Ziglar’s oldest lesson, “You can always get what you want if you help enough other people get what they want,” is just one timeless life lesson. If you enjoy a journey, you will realize that it is about the experience along the way, not necessarily just the destination. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
