Expertise

(I have expertise in both, "How to choose a compatible mate"--or--"how to bridge personality differences") Relationship challenges: communication, power struggles, controlling issues, partner being late, affection and closeness, little irritations, pouting, mood swings, criticalness, perfectionism, opposite environmental needs, companionship challenges,stubbornness,dealing with a skeptical partner, too thrifty, too generous, helps everybody but you, and when boredom sets in.

Past/Present Clients

Hundreds of people from all walks of life.
Experience: 25 years in the field of Personistics (innate personality characteristics)that includes: private personality profiling, Life Guidance Coaching, Business consulting, teaching numerous classes & seminars, lectures, and participating in radio talk shows.

What do you like about this subject?

We each are made of over 60 innate personality traits. Twenty two of them greatly influence interaction with others. It is wonderful to get away from blaming and hurt feelings, and talk about trait differences. When you understand traits, there are simple and specific things you can do to bridge your differences and strengthen your relationships

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Since each person is unique in his own combination of traits, every time I do a personality assessment I learn a little bit more about how traits interact with each other. This helps me in my goal to spread this knowledge throughout the country, and thus help people see themselves and their fellowman in a kinder way.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

This means that we have been wasting a lot of time in examining our past to solve today's challenges. I can help you focus right now on what you can do about the challenges in your relationships.

Each trait is centered in the brain and each has a physical counterpart. This means the shape of your nose, lips, cheeks, eyebrows, chin, eyes,ears, and various parts of the head, show your personality. You also c
