PhD Work and Lifelong Interests - How people treat each other always was more important to me than what they "said" about themselves. I think my values were shaped heavily by growing up in rural America, where what people DID told much about who there WERE and what they really believed inside.Accordingly, I gradually felt myself drawn to history and ethics. History was related to the Facts. Ethics was related to how people behaved. I still am very much this way. "Don't tell me; show me!" My PhD at the University of Chicago took the long way around. I studied deep, wide, and hard, on moral and ethical issues and systems. I learned not just "what works" but What Will Last through bad times and the storms of life.I am available to work with corporations for custom-designed programs that meet special situations, with special needs. I always have had contempt for cookie-cutter programs with big promises and small outputs to the conditions on the ground. So in my work with decision-makers I (A) listen very carefully; (B) question for clarity and elaboration until I know precisely what your needs are; and then, (C) I construct a draft program, which YOU critique, then we prepare for the Presentation, Learning, Interaction, Questioning, Applications, and Assessments.You should know I prefer outcome-based programs. You do not contact me so I can ride my hobby-horse and impress you with all I know. You contact me because you have (1) problems that are draining you, or (2) goals to advance your workforce or executive team. You have situations. You cooperate with my penetrating questions. We work to design. We present. Change occurs. But it is not really "change" unless YOU can monitor the effects over the next Quarter. And I can help you construct the testing tool that tells you, "We were correct to contact Dr. John for our situation! We have change! Our group is healthier! Our group wants MORE learning and personal satisfaction!"I know deeply: PERSONALITY types, MENTAL disorders, BRAIN organic dysfunction (also situational depression), TRAUMA (life events that live with us every day), FAMILY patterns that remain subliminal, EGO needs and dysfunctions, CONFLICT prevention-intervention-resolution, RISK management/prevention, and with collaboration with your Executive and HR team, HANDBOOK evolution, related to your organization's special history.You are outcome-based, or should be. We are beyond the days of Smoke-and-Mirrors. I am REAL. I owe it to myself. I owe it to my clients. I sleep well. I can help you! John Willis
