About Business Culture Consultants Consulting company in Burlington, United States
Since August of 2000 Ive worked with well over one hundred businesses and other organizations to help them become more connected more collaborative and ultimately more successful. Im honored to have served my clients who have strengthened their business relationships deepened their awareness and held true to their values.
In pursuit of providing strong value to my clients Ive obtained over six hundred hours of professional development training which is ongoing.
My hunger for knowledge and experience has led me through multiple certifications and training programs. I went back to college at the age of thirty-seven and completed a Bachelors and then a Masters degree. Ive been a supervisor and Ive been supervised. Ive sat on both sides of the therapeutic relationship.
Ive worked as a psychologist nonprofit executive international product manager mobile crisis team clinician retail salesperson and wilderness workshop leader. Ive also been a hardwood furniture craftsman windsurfing instructor gigging musician cross-country ski instructor a cappella singer and rabid organic vegetable gardener. In short Ive had multiple careers and interests and they continue!
Working in my fathers grocery store starting at the age of twelve I had a direct experience of how relationships matter in business. Providing customers with ’above and beyond’ service setting high standards for employees yet treating them with empathy and compassion and supporting your local community through donations and events were all values I saw first hand.
Thus I had a positive experience of the world of work (in fact more positive than family life at the time). Im grateful that I have a good work ethic and a keen interest in how people show up at work to accomplish shared goals with a collaborative spirit. This is my lifes work – its what Ill be doing until I leave the physical plane.
Three other things you should know about me. First I am extremely blessed to have a wonderful wife and life partner. Sandy Post is a remarkable human being and as someone who knows us well once said ’She wants the best for you and the best from you.’ How true!
Second I have a deep lifelong involvement in music. There is a magnet on our fridge that says ’I may be old but at least I got to see all the cool bands’ and is fairly true. I have been playing in and out of groups – rock n roll acoustic Americana and Grateful Dead covers – for over fifty years. I love singing in three-part harmony and in addition to my main instrument of bass guitar I also play acoustic and electric rhythm guitar and have recently taken up the pedal steel.
Third I am humbly working to increase the depth of my spiritual practice. After having worked through growing up in a cult religion I now cherish my connection to the Universal Life Force using the doorways of Mahamudra Buddhism and Sufism among others.
My core philosophy can be summed up in a lyric by John Lennon: ’Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns it calls me on and on across the universe.’
