This means that I can solve problems and create solutions quickly using what I\u2019ve seen both in theory (i.e., books and research) and in practice. It also means that I don\u2019t rely on boilerplate or template style solutions; rather I count on my training and professional experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">How Do I Do It?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;\">Whether I am working with a business, another type of organization, or an individual client, I rely upon several domains. First, I count on what I learned while earning my doctorate in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/what-is-industrial-organizational-psychology-2795302\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Industrial \/ Organizational (I\/O) Psychology<\/a><\/strong> which is sometimes referred to as work or business psychology. I\u2019m grateful to have access to the best practices and processes that are also used in some of the world\u2019s most successful companies and by I\/O psychologists who share their applied research findings. Besides learning a lot of psychology content while a student, those years taught me how to get to the root of problems and solve them using reliable information and analysis. More importantly, those years also prepared me to be able to come up with things that hadn\u2019t been done in the past. This form of innovation is an exceptionally useful skill when trying to resolve issues and challenges when there\u2019s no clear path forward and there\u2019s no playbook to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_967\" style=\"width: 384px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/black-and-white-city-man-people-medium-pple-talking.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-967\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-967\" class=\"wp-image-967 \" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/black-and-white-city-man-people-medium-pple-talking-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"use i\/o psychology to get useful perspective\" width=\"374\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/black-and-white-city-man-people-medium-pple-talking-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/black-and-white-city-man-people-medium-pple-talking.jpg 525w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Using Psychology to Get Great Perspective<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;\">Secondly, since 1999, I have gained firsthand experience at selecting employees for various jobs, promotions, and leadership development programs that were part of succession plans, in small and large organizations across the public and private sectors.

As a direct result of the range of experiences that I\u2019ve acquired over the years, I\u2019ve developed an extensive network of professional and personal contacts in a range of fields.
