Background
The Hero’s Journey is based on the life’s work of Joseph Campbell. He was a philosopher, university professor and, above all, storyteller and mythologist. In 1949 his magum opus The Hero with a Thousand Faces was published.
The Journey is a dynamic model of the universal human experiences that originate back to the great stories from all around the world. Campbell is still regarded as the expert on comparative mythology, human experience and existence.
I was trained in The Double Healix, which taps into the deep wisdom of the Hero’s Journey.
I further infused Campbell’s work with practices to be present, success principles, management themes, and my life’s experiences.
I love working with clients and organizations and help them grow and be successful, utilizing this transformative framework.
