I am very pleased to be part of the 2010 Spring cohort at Fielding. I decided over 15 years ago that I would pursue a terminal degree once I retired from my corporate career. Although, I have been blessed to also have a parallel career as an entrepreneur, there remains in me a desire to keep learning and discovering. When I finally did retire in 2007, I began my Ph.D journey at George Washington University in a program focused on Organizational Development and Leadership. I soon discovered that not only was the program structure and course content not as interesting as I thought, but I knew that a traditional brick and mortar institution was probably not for me at this stage of my life. Although consulting, teaching and writing, remain goals for me once I complete the program, It is the opportunity to learn and explore new ways of thinking from my colleagues in our cohort and across the University that I most look forward to. I believe that the convergence taking place across all mediums of communication will impact our lives in the future even more than do now both here and around the world. I believe that expertise in this area of psychology will be coveted across many disciplines including but not limited to politics, entertainment, jurisprudence, and of course academics.
