About Leah R. Jackman-Wheitner, Ph.D. |
The Background
I always like to know something about the person who created what I read. But, then again, some people want the formal bio. I’ll give you both. Read below for the full bio, but let’s start with the behind the scenes version. I am always interested in the back story- so, here’s my back story:
I’ve been a psychologist since 1994. It’s been a rewarding career. As a psychologist, doing therapy, I had the opportunity to make a significant difference in 15 -20 people’s lives at a time. I realized that I wanted to reach out more. I wanted to touch more lives and teach more people. Around this time, I learned about the field of coaching with its focus on strengths.
I got coach training and started to build a business. That’s when it really got interesting. Marketing and business building held the biggest thrill for me. Business was a completely new field for me. I started to think of marketing and business management in some very different ways. Drawing from business, marketing, personal development, and sales I defined a way to teach people how to run their business or career in ways that work best for them.
I started to realize that underneath that desire to help people be more effective in their businesses was an ability to help people see themselves and understand themselves. I help people figure out who they are. I help them see themselves in new ways.
The process of understanding yourself and what will work best for you is the same whether you are dealing with career issues, business issues, or just wanting a better understanding of who you are and where you are headed. I want people to feel better. I want people to feel happy - really happy and confident with who they are. That's why I do what I do.
