I offer various services and my career has been vast.  It has all been done with “Intentional Congruence”.  My clients reap the rewards of my professional and personal experiences.

Intentional Congruence – Working in an inpatient hospital setting led to joining a private practice.  Joining a private practice led to speaking at and consulting with schools.  

Speaking at and consulting with schools led to becoming a professor at Georgia Tech.  Being a professor at Georgia Tech led to joining a weekly golf radio show sharing sports psychology tips and performance strategies. 

Being on the radio for 2 years led to joining the Georgia Tech Athletic Association/Homer Rice Center for Sports Performance.  While with the GTAA I joined the National Speakers Association along with being a professor at Georgia State teaching Sports Psychology.  

My involvement with the National Speakers Association led to authoring 5 books, 400+ speaking presentations and corporate consulting.  My expertise as a Teen Life and Parenting Expert led to joining a daily television show on HLN/CNN.

I have continued to practice privately throughout my professional journey, along with being on numerous boards, chairmanships, community civic organizations, networking groups … all while raising two now grown sons.  I coaching youth and travel sports for 12 years. 

I believe taking care of our health is so important … hence my deep love for yoga and my personal pursuit of my own yoga practice along with teaching yoga to others.

All of the 35+ years of experience I bring to and offer my counseling, life coaching, speaking or consulting clients.  This is what I have termed … The JoeGEffect.
