In his book Wolf: A Memoir of Love and Atonement, Carter shares his harrowing journey of recovery from PTSD – a journey in which he finally faces his traumatic past and then atones for the damage he caused his family.
Carter has written award-winning books about leadership and management, as well as hundreds of free, online articles about communication skills, career development, personal development, personal productivity and personal wellness.
For decades, Carter has been sharing his passion for helping people to support each other to be open and honest–authentic– in their life and work. He is developer of the free Peer Support Circles model people can use to organize their own basic support groups. It’s based on a peer learning process he pioneered in the mid 1990s – a process now used around the world.
“Among my Dakota and Absaroke people is a saying
that I can only really translate into English
using a double negative:
‘I do not remember a time when I did not know him.’
It is intended to point out and compliment
one who has had a good, significant impact on another,
an impact so great that one’s history is changed.
That is what I say to you, Carter,
I do not remember when I did not know you.”
