"In ancient Ireland there was a
saying, 'Three equals: a king, a harper, and a poet.' The poet
had been trained to step in a crucial times of difficulty and through
extemporaneous speech bring a sense and clarity to the confusion of the
moment, and through that give the people some sense of their beckoning
collective future." (David Whyte, The Heart Aroused.) Bringing sense and clarity is also the work of the consultant.
Chris brings a unique combination of business and psychological expertise,

What is Organization Development (OD)?
Organization Development is an organization-wide, planned effort,
managed from the top, to increase organization effectiveness and health
through planned interventions in the organization’s processes, using
behavioral-science knowledge. - Richard Beckhard, Organization Development: Strategies and Models
What is Ecopsychology?
Ecopsychology is both the skillful application of ecological insight to
the practice of psychotherapy and the skillful application of
psychological insight to issues of sustainability. It is based on the
understanding that a person or society cannot be sane or whole without
a respectful, reciprocal relationship with the Earth and all its beings.
