More about me

I have spent the last 35 years gaining experiences in sales, marketing, training and planning, concentrating in the areas of leadership, business and civic development.  I became a Master Coach and Principal Consultant in a practice I called Phronêsis Inc. I'm still keeping busy doing some consulting and developing an online coaching network.

 

My coaching lets me offer advice, consul and services to a still growing list of clients that has spanned from the executive suite to line foreman. At each stop and contact along the way I have honored the special creation that takes place in social networks.

 

I even see the development of EONS as a network response to the witness of cultural paradox.  While the practices of local friends used to be the sole source to validate expertise and the importance of openness and learning, the broader values of technologically driven culture is breaking the bond into parts unrelated to the other except by digital friend making.

 

So I have deceided to invest my time in this network so as to take advantage of fascinating opportunity engage those that seek to learn and spread authentic experiences through a peer community.

Favorite Quotes

"The lyricism of "addiction" may find inspiration in the image of the "outlaw, " the great social nomad, who prowls on the confines of a docile, frightened order", "Remind in the state of constant departure while always arriving - this saves on introductions and good byes."
