After a 30-year career as a senior leader and executive in Fortune 500 companies, I grabbed an opportunity to take early retirement and do what I had always wanted to do. I help people live into their purpose and companies bring their purpose to their products and their people. I started VLURU to do just that. VLURU means versatile guru. Every person and every company is different. Bringing your purpose into all you do takes several different disciplines and skills. VLURU brings an extraordinary variety of tools and techniques to help you achieve your personal and or business goals. My journey: I’ve helped hundreds of people and businesses find fulfillment in their lives, careers, and products throughout my career through coaching, consulting, and mentoring. In the midst of my career transition, I was able to put a name to the practice of helping people find their purpose, Ikigai (ee-key-guy). I’m not the first to talk about Ikigai and I’m certainly not the most talented writer. I am, however the first to explain how Authenticity, Purpose, and Harmony work individually and together to cultivate a complete understanding of Ikigai. And maybe more importantly, I am the first person to come at these topics from the perspective of someone who has spent decades studying personal transformation. I've created a process and framework to help people find fulfillment by uncovering and living into, their Ikigai. ►A globally recognized keynote speaker and transformation expert ►Coined the term 'mono-tasking' for single-focused effort. ► Coined the term Existential Futurist: An existential futurist is concerned with creating the best possible future for individual purpose, freedom, and choice. ► Coined the phrase: Saying I’m mid-century modern sounds so much cooler than 60 ►Coined the term...Humans being Humane to other Human beings (it's what it is all about) ►Coined the term Purpose over Profession
