About the Facilitator:

Doug Hall is a graduate of John F. Kennedy University Campbell campus Clinical Psychology 1996. Prior to attending JFKU, Doug worked in a family-run business, selling computer hardware. Doug trained at the Process Therapy Institute where he learned the Process model of therapy, which forms the basis of his consulting and teaching philosophy, especially the being with the client side of the model. Doug gained nearly 3000 hours as an MFC Intern prior to returning to the Sales world, so he can relate to what many therapists do as a profession, not to mention the requirements to promote one’s practice.

After leaving the counseling world, he returned to doing various sales jobs. Throughout his selling career, he learned various sales techniques and learned about the aptitudes required for various professions, including those for therapists and salespeople. For the past several years, he has been meditating and learning Buddhist ideas and principles, including many that are used with professional golfers for peak performance as taught in Zen Golf.

For two of the last 3 years, Doug has lived in China where he taught Business Strategy and Human Resource Development to community college students and taught business owners and professionals conversational English, resulting in increased confidence.
