I started out, like most of us, as an employee. Then I became an entrepreneur and soon a business educator and business consultant.
I consulted with large corporations like Apple, Fujitsu America, and Pacific Bell, just before the feds broke up Ma Bell, but I found my greatest satisfaction working with small ventures.
Providing them with practical advice was, and still is, rewarding to me, but I started to see a troubling pattern: an awful lot of my clients—and colleagues and friends—were unhappy in their work.
I wanted to help.
Drawing on my longtime interest in personal growth strategies, Eastern philosophies, and educational theory, I spent several years developing a system I call Good Work Guidance™ that I have now provided to more than 500 individuals (and some couples in business together).
Good Work Guidance™ consists of this simple four-step process:
- Step 1. We focus on your personal life purpose and the goals and objectives implied by that purpose.
- Step 2. We clarify your challenges and opportunities and uncover your personal strengths and weaknesses.
- Step 3. We develop a plan of action that uses your strengths and compensates for your weaknesses to overcome your challenges and make the most of your opportunities.
- Step 4. You lay the foundation for ongoing right livelihood through the practice of:
- Mindfulness
- Simple Living
- Self-reliance
- Service to your community
Throughout, you receive:
-
Ongoing coaching guidance
-
Consulting or technical advice as needed
-
Handouts as needed, including:
