Private Therapy Sessions
If you have an issue that you need help with and if you feel the desire or need to speak with me I am available for private sessions via Microsoft Teams.
Workshops, Lectures & Consulting
I am available for workshops and lectures about Rising above Chaos, Experiencing Enlightenment, Meditation, Mindfulness, Inner Peace, Innovation, Empathy, Dealing with Emotions and Self Awareness as well as applications for this in business and personal life. I am even able to participate in these events online. Feel free to contact me if you would like to have me involved in such an event.
I also work with various organizations, businesses, government agencies and individuals on human resource issues, innovation, marketing psychology and geopolitical issues. My skill set allows me to have a 30,000 foot overview of the emotions and mindset of individuals and groups of people. It usually does not provide for granular details or absolutes since there are so many probabilities but it does often give me accurate insights on trends and future events with a high probability of occurring. I believe it is just a confluence of my deep empathy, intelligence, critical thinking skills and philosophy. Contact me if you would like to discuss enlisting my skills in these areas.
It is truly my joy to answer questions and to write articles to help as many people as possible. While I will continue doing this and provide all of this material for free it would be really great, if you need any, to download meditations, music, nature recordings or books from my website to support my efforts.
If you have any questions you are most welcome to send them to me. I will do my best to answer them as soon as possible. Now and then I even answer questions in a video. You can ask a question by posting it as a comment or you can send it through the contact form or by email. Remember, if you post your questions as a comment on the site your questions will be public for all to see and to learn from so it you are asking something very personal you might want to contact me directly. Also, please do not insert any URL’s into your posts. They will be deleted.
