For a lifetime my interests and career – have linked me to how brain works and to interesting people who also care about its extravagance to enrich daily living. Now I have a wonderful opportunity to interact with a new such circle … and I look forward to this blog. Hopefully we will attract people from every walk of life … who want to explore the merits of boomer brains … especially the hidden or unused parts. I look forward for the chance to exchange insights and observations across many population groups, and to learn from all who bring their ideas to the Brain Boomer blog.

When not here blogging, I direct the MITA International Brain Based Renewal Center which has two arms. One arm certifies leaders in brain based leadership practices and the other certifies university faculty in brain friendly teaching, learning and assessment strategies … that keep pace with changing demands in our information age.

My own PhD came only after years of researching… publishing books and … feeding a growing penchant for change. My own offerings for sparking change include multiple intelligences, problem solving possibilities, human diversity, social justice and equity for leadership and learning organization prosperity.

Through the MITA model for change, which includes my pioneer work in brain based leadership and learning … published in several books … I continue to collaborate extensively in global settings. International work is important to me as I remain highly interested in the influences of culture, technology, nature and modern thought, on personal and organizational prosperity.

As I get older … and see what an amazing adventure age can be … I also have the fun being a pathfinder … as I investigate and learn daily. Here in New York I recently won the Award for Excellence from the Rochester Business Alliance - Chamber of Commerce. Having worked with and learned from leaders and learners in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Chile, South America, China, England, Malta, Mexico, Ireland, and Australia, I consider myself a world citizen. That privilege makes me ready to exchange great ideas with you and I know I’ll learn from many of you.

Hopefully I will soon get to know many of you out there who share my interests in gaining more from the human brain as we age. You’ll also hear from a very close friend and another writer on this fun topic … Dr. Robyn McMaster, who is senior VP at the MITA Brain Based Center. With the stage now set … we’re ready to roll out some fun!
