Autorenporträt
The author began his career as a clergyman. Changing the trajectory of his career, he then owned an insurance and financial services agency before founding and developing an international Organizational and Development Transition consulting firm from which he is now retired. The skills developed during these decades provided him with a significant understanding of complex human relationship systems, how they function and how they change. The professional counselling, public speaking and writing abilities required throughout his career allowed him to develop a cross disciplinary approach to change and development with owners, managers and staff. This included integrated diagnostic assessment, succession planning, writing training materials, publishing two books along with custom presentations on change management that were persuasive, effective and practical. These life experiences have culminated in writing a debut novel, "It Is Not Written" about a protagonist who in mid-life must release the false optics and content of his identity to discover and live an authentic one.
