As far as I can recall, I have always been fascinated by creating something out of nothing. When I was a teenager, I started playing in a Steelband orchestra and playing the guitar. My initial creations were songs and music that I would write and perform.

A Writer's Journey

We are enough.

Dave A. Cornelius, DM, aka Dr. Dave

Let's Get Generative

My first written manuscript was my doctoral thesis, ‘The Value of Scrum to Organizations: Multi-case Study.’ I published my first nonfiction book, ‘Transforming Your Leadership Character: The Lean Thinking and Agility Way,’ in 2014. In 2018, I wrote another nonfiction book, ‘Elastic Minds: What are you thinking?’ This was followed by ‘Prayers to my Abba Father God‘ in 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic increased my awareness of the societal ills that plagued how people related to each other. This inspired me to write Belonging and Healing: Creating Awareness for Yourself and Others‘ in 2022.

In 2022, I released my next book, a blend of fiction and nonfiction, titled Deliver Value: Happy Contributing People, Satisfied Customers, and Thriving Business.’

In 2023, I wrote two fiction books: ‘The Innovation Catalyst, Leading with Empathy,’ book #1, and ‘Beyond the Windowsill,’ book #2. These books are part of a series featuring Ashanti MWendo, Chief Product Owner for a Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology company.

Later, in 2023, I returned to addressing concerns about leadership and wrote ‘Generative Leadership To Thrive.’

2024 began with the release of a short eBook about Trust titled Trust Fidelity: Removing Engagement Friction.’ My next creation is a memoir about my great-grandmother, Ma Ruby. She lived the immigrant life as a trusted steward guiding my sisters and me as we grew into adulthood.

If I am truly ambitious and inspired, I may write book #3 in the Ashanti MWendo fiction series.
