BIRTH_OF_TLC

THE BIRTH OF T.L.C. AND N.O.T.E.

Over the many years that John and I delivered the Keys course as a

40-hour

paid class to GM employees, there were two recurring

complaints from our

students. The first complaint was that the

company would not pay for them to

take the class a second time.

The second complaint was that the employees

could not get the

class for their families.

My s

olution;

rawing on my

nowledge of

computers

created a CD

based

version of the

KTEL

program. Over the years, it

has evolved into the TLC

program. It is the entire program in a form

which students can take with them

when the

y complete the

course

The CD

was creat

ed to act as both a review

vehicle for the student

and as an empowerment tool to help them share the

program with

others.

fter retirement from GM

I launched

NOTE,

North Oakland Training

Enterprises

continue to develop and teach the TLC

(KTEL) program. I have also continued

tutoring in phonetic reading

skills.

Mr. Green

hut down

operations of the CEDARS corporation in 2005

and moved

on to a well-earned retirement. In parting he gave me his

blessings to develop

TLC

Unfortunately we lost touch with each other, and I was

recently told by a

mutual acquaintance that John passed away in

2007.

In addition to students

I l

ook forward to meeting with anyone

interested in

delivering

this material

nd making TLC a career.
