Bryan and Beverly Potter, PhD: The Worrywart's Companion

What I (Beverly Potter, PhD) Do
I provide specialized professional instruction in the form of workshops, lectures, keynote speeches . I am a psychologist specializing in career and workplace issues, like overcoming job burnout, self management and self-leadership, mediating disputes, giving directives as examples. Many of these "works' have been transformed into my books.

My Approach
My work blends humanistic psychology and Eastern philosophies with principles of behavior psychology for the objective of creating a strategy for handling the many challenges we're encountering in today's workplace.

My Education
My masters of science is in vocational rehabilitation counseling from San Francisco State. My doctorate is in counseling psychology from Stanford University. After leaving Stanford, I translated my counseling "technology" into workplace applications.

I consider myself to be functioning as the college professor - only the world is my classroom. I teach - tho my students are rarely in the classroom but in the workplace. I develop models and theories, but they have a practical application rather than being academic. I depend upon grants to support my writings - only I provide my own grants from investments I created for that purpose. And yes, I too, face the terrors of "publish or perish".
