What I do
WRITER & PUBLISHER
I am convinced that the Christian worldview is the truth about reality. So I explore this as it applies to every sphere of life, be it business, our work, relationships, politics, and (almost) everything. And yes, I deal a lot with theology and Biblical doctrines, for that is the foundation.

EDITOR & proofreader
Since childhood, I have loved books and practically any printed material. In line with this (and maybe as a result!), I was something of a nitpicker or almost-perfectionist. I ‘see’ errors and typos. I cringe when I notice a wrongly used verb or adverb. My blood boils (OK, not literally) when I come across a post or article that is too wordy or is poorly written. But rather than just sit on a lofty pedestal arrogantly condemning people’s faults, wisdom teaches otherwise. I see it as God’s call to help people write better and communicate clearly. And that is what I have been doing.
My main target is (I use a singular verb because I consider my audience as one group) writers, publishers, and organizations. I work on non-fiction prose content, including books, articles, posts, web content, etc. This means while I love reading poetry and some fiction, I normally don’t edit or proofread them for people. My service is excellent and you will find me delightful to work with. That’s a guarantee!
Customer service advocate
I am a passionate Customer Service advocate! I have written a unique and essential primer on the subject (buy it at https://selar.co/2yg1). For over 10 years, I have been privileged to serve customers from different industries and also lead other service representatives in doing likewise. I envision a world driven by service, and I am inspiring and equipping individuals and organizations to create that world. I currently offer training sessions (physical and online) based on my book to small businesses, young customer service professionals (0-3 years’ experience), and other organizations.

It is no longer news that call centres or contact centres have a high attrition rate. A recent survey discovered an average of 42%, while other authorities put it at between 30-45%, with many centres experiencing a much higher figure. Not only is this a problem for the contact centre; it is a challenge for the organization in terms of … Continue reading Can we resolve the high attrition rates in Contact Centers?
A Note on the late Gordon Fee and his Book
‘Passionate scholar’ need not be an oxymoron. Gordon Fee, who died on Tuesday at the age of 88, exemplified this in his career and teaching. The book he co-authored with Douglas Stuart, How to Read the Bible for AlI Its Worth (now in its fourth edition), has been very helpful in showing how literary genre, background, and … Continue reading A Note on the late Gordon Fee and his Book
