Yvonne Caputo is passionate about inspiring meaningful conversations, personally and professionally. She's author of Flying with Dad and Dying with Dad, a professional speaker, psychotherapist, and corporate trainer. Yvonne Caputo has also been a teacher, the head of human resources in a retirement community, and a consultant. She has master's degrees in education and in clinical psychology. The conversations that matter most aren't one-sided, especially those she had with her dad. They are the ones that taught her to meet him where he was, instead of where she wanted him to be. The result was an intimacy, a deep abiding respect, and a no-regrets final goodbye. Her first book, Flying with Dad, is about her relationship with her father through his telling of World War II stories. Dying with Dad, Yvonne's second book, shares how meaningful conversations around end-of-life matters, which are often difficult conversations many of us dread and avoid. Conversations matter. And meaningful conversations are gifts that can stimulate and renew relationships, reveal people's deepest desires, and restore connections between and within them. Yvonne lives in Pennsylvania with her best friend (who is also her husband). Together they have three children and three grandchildren. See less
