Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by my professional blog.
When I reflect back on my career so far, at a fundamental level my work doing psychotherapy, teaching, training, program evaluation, grant writing, and conflict resolution boils down to a single underlying theme: I help individuals, groups, organizations, and communities see, think, act, and relate better in order to reach their goals and create better futures.
I was trained as a community/clinical psychologist, but for most of the last 10 years, I've been professionally applying my skills in the areas of program evaluation, grant development, and teaching. Based on what I learned through those experiences, I more recently expanded my focus to include systems thinking, organizational learning, leadership development, and conflict resolution/peace building.
My blog is designed to work in conjunction with my
LinkedIn account and (eventually) a web page. Here you'll find my musings on various topics related to my work and other professional interests.
My approach to life and work is definitely eclectic. I have found great value, personally and professionally, in learning about human and organizational behavior, other cultures, western and eastern philosophy, creativity, and a wide variety of other topics. I have found that such topics serve as different lenses that often 'fresh' insights and 'new' ways of thinking.
My blog is definitely a 'learn as you go' process, so I'm sure things will occasionally change as I get the hang of this.
I hope you enjoy your time here!
