My hope for this group is that it will be a place where I can be completely transparent about my career aspirations and challenges with a small group of individuals who are first and foremost committed to tuning into Deep Psyche for guidance.

My work experience is in business, with over 30 years in all things human resources--recruiting, training and development, HR systems, performance assessment, etc. Since the 80's my roles have alternated between senior leadership positions within corporations and as an outside consultant in HR Strategy and leadership coaching. Vastly different views of business, but each role has made me better at the other.

Over the same period that I was building my business career, I developed my clairvoyant abilities, working with different shamanic teachers and traditions. I kept these two lives wholly separate--business colleagues and psychic students/clients had no knowledge of the others' existence.

Then, in 2009, I got my master's degree in depth psychology from Sonoma State University in Northern California. It was in studies of Jung, Hillman, and others that I saw similar features between the spirit realm and archetypes, synchronicity, dream figures, and Psyche, etc. There was a resonance between the spiritual and psychological that was lovely after a lifetime of splits. I was able to re-language my experience with the feminine/lunar/non-rational/poetic in a way that was not completely off-putting to colleagues in the masculine/solar/rational/scientific paradigm that is business.

Even though I tasted the possibility of integration, I returned to a corporate job for a few years and am, now--yet again--re-inventing myself as a management consultant. This time, however, I am longing to fully assimilate my business (intellect), clairvoyant (spiritual), and depth (emotional) selves.

My passion in the world is developing soulful leaders in the business arena. It is my belief that if leaders were connected with their inner selves and deep leanings, they would not make the terrible and unethical decisions that are common when one is listening to voices outside oneself. In my own leadership, I try to model what I expect of others.

Having done so much career coaching for others, it is ironic that I am considering joining this group. But I'm coming primarily as a learner--this will be a confidential place where I can share my own struggles to incorporate the depth lens in my work and to tune in to the still small voice of Psyche in my own life. I'm 62 years old, and I really want to know what's in store for this half-baked acorn!
