People of Every Color, Creed, Gender, or Background
Why share this list? Well, of course, to establish my bona fides. Beyond that, I’d also like to give you something more to relate to—a sense that maybe I can better understand your challenges because I’ve been there before with someone else like you. That doesn’t mean I use turn-key solutions, though. Every engagement is tailored to the situation you find yourself facing at this moment. Want to know more?

Have you really worked with that many businesses?
I sometimes get asked if I really have worked with all the types of clientele I list above. Why, yes. Yes, I have. I’ve been doing this work for more than 40 years. As time goes by, things do add up.
Of course, in some cases, I include synonyms for a single client type. For example, “artisan” could apply to a potter, a baker, or a cabinet maker and “healthcare worker” certainly overlaps with “health professional.” I justify using the synonyms because not everyone identifies with every label that might apply to the livelihood they have or seek to have.

I’ve continued to get sterling reviews such as these:
“Claude Whitmyer is an invaluable consultant who harmonizes matters of the marketplace with those of the spirit. Without him I still wouldn’t know that ‘right livelihood’ is a practical reality, not just a philosophical ideal.”
Sausalito, California
What I get from your workshops is a chance to assimilate what right livelihood means. You were always guiding, but you were also thinking, wondering, listening, observing -- and applying what you were getting from the businesses we visited.
Sacramento, California
"Claude is a thorough teacher and a knowledgeable mentor. Under Claude's tutelage and supervision, I experienced dramatic growth, both professionally and personally."
"It felt good to talk about the issues I'm facing and to be understood. I apprecite the concrete suggestions and look forward to another session."
