New Offerings (presentations, workshops, retreats)
Based on my two decades of research into these topics, as well as my experience conducting behavioral change projects with over 5000 students, I now offer presentations, workshops, and retreats on the following topics (I was awarded over a $600,000 in National Science Foundation grants for my research into these topics):
Intentional Change: Behavioral and cognitive strategies for changing behavior.
Fast Change: Based on my research and student projects, this is possible, and based on working to align one’s values and behaviors.
Sustainable Personality: What are the characteristics of the highly functioning individual? This is a systems approach to personality (intellectual, emotional, social, and physical) and sustainable behaviors.
None of these new offerings are an easy fix for change and individual growth….it takes effort, but I can help make it work. I’ve been doing it for years.
If you’re unsure as to whether I might be able to help you, contact me and we can talk about it.
