Healing Leadership: A Survival Guide for the Enlightened Leader (Volume 1)
Steve has 20 years experience as a parish pastor and hospital chaplain. He is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and is in his 18th year as an HR specialist in a national managed mental healthcare company. He has 25 years experience in the healing arts as a shamanic practitioner and Reiki master. He is humbled by the vision of carrying the tradition of healing into modern organizations in the hope of healing each other and the world.  Steve is the proud father of three wise and wonderful adult children and two grandchildren. He lives with his two dogs in the woods of Minnesota.  Howard's "career path" began in the broadcasting business, where he practiced journalism then moved into station and corporate management roles. He joined then-small Great Plains Software, as head of Human Resources, then hatched an internal consulting practice, whose clients were Great Plains' business partners. He describes his journey this way:  "My travels through the world of work and leadership include roles in management and consulting. I've watched and participated in the stories I now tell. The stories reflect moments of joy, pain and truth. They offer insights into what works and doesn't work for leaders. Now, approaching my 40th year of practicing management, consulting and coaching, I have been struck by how unhealthy workplaces have become. My journey now focuses on helping these places to heal by helping heal the leaders who lead them."
