I use a unique five-part process I call E-D-U-C-O. The word education is based on the Latin word educo, meaning "to draw forth from within." Thinking, writing, and finding your own path are all part of this approach. Depending on your needs, you can focus on one element at a time, or choose to work through the entire process.
E xplore Your Options: The first phase of any journey begins with exploration, looking at all possible pathways, to set your vision and goals for the future.
D esign Your Mind: Transitions and transformations start with changing how you think using the latest neuroscience findings around the plasticity of the brain.
U nload and Unwind: One of the biggest problems faced by academics is information overload and learning to do more with less to reduce stress is imperative.
C raft Your Communication: Whether oral or written, effective communication is a must for those interested in publishing, promotion and alternative or supplemental careers.
