I am committed to helping individuals and organizations discover, learn, and grow toward your desired future. My life experience has connected me with hundreds in varied settings. In all interactions I work to help people understand and explore these questions:
Who am I? Why am I here? Where do I want to go? How can I get there? Who can help me?
My promise is to help you become more fully yourself. Through exploration, evaluation, resourcing, understanding, decision making and goal setting I will help you develop and put into action a plan of forward directed life progress.
I have directed programs for schools, a conference center, and other non-profit settings. I have fulfilled roles across the spectrum in education, including having been an instructor for City University Graduate School of Ed and a community parent educator. I have a M.Ed., Adult Education from WWU and a B.S. from Oregon College of Education (Western Oregon University). I, also, have experience writing for numerous settings.
I am married to Connie and we have two adult sons; Kyle and Michael and five grandchildren. My blog of ideas, essays, poetry, micro-fiction and more can be found at https://jimschmotzer.substack.com/
