About
My passion is to help people turn change into transformation, be it personal, organizational, or in any other area of human relating.
Change occurs all the time, transformation occurs when you approach change consciously and creatively.
Background
I started being a poet when I was 7, started to be an actor when I was 9, became a computer engineer when I was 11, an artist when I turned 12, an esotericist when I was 13, a philosopher when I was 14, an accountant at 15, a researcher and administrator when I entered university, became a teacher shortly after, a monk, a minister, then became a consultant, a counselor, a coach, a catalyst… and I have not stopped being any of these.
Instead, I have continued to work to find heuristics that relate to all of them, that allow me to have underlying principles I can apply, across disciplines, across cultures, across organizations and industries. Higher level schemata that apply throughout nature, from the gross to the subtle.
Any project I approach, I approach with immersion, integration, and innovation.
Utilizing derived cross-disciplinary schemata, I seek to find order in chaos, create scalable structures, build flexible frameworks, while testing them against perennial and 21st century wisdom.
Hmmm… But what do you do?
Love that question… Well, many things, I:
- consult organizations large and small
- speak on a variety of topics
- support and take care of community
- make art
- heal myself and others
- play with a variety of projects
- write a blog
- and a lot more, but hey, gotta stop somewhere…
Please contact me if you are interested in working with me or collaborating on a project.
