From the foundations of being an experienced psychotherapist, I have developed my company to enhance the skills, competencies, interpersonal and intrapersonal issues of business owners, senior management and line managers. In addition, my experience in outplacement and corporate coaching have enriched my offerings to both for profit and non-profit organizations.
I am building group mentoring programs with teleseminars and other offerings to complement and offer an alternative to people. I am also developing a number of informational products and e-books to complement my practice.
I have co-authored The Essential Coaching book and am the author of More to Life at Work: 4 Pathways to Deeper Meaning and Joy in Your Livelihood which will be released in Fall 2007.
