My name is Danny Martin.
I believe that to be human is to (learn to) work with life without ever fully understanding why. It is to survive but also to thrive by adapting creatively to an ever-changing world. I am offering to assist you in this fascinating human project through:
Personal Guidance and Professional Coaching:
- Personal Guidance to help you live creatively with life: to survive and thrive
- Professional Coaching to help you integrate this capacity into your work-life in order to be more creative and more effective
Organizational Consulting to help build workplaces that bring out the best in people:
- Leadership skills to create the conditions for such a workplace
- Team building to access the creativity that is already present
- Communication skills for assisting everyday interactions
Community Facilitation to help us live together in ways that are truly sustainable:
- Deepening our individual awareness and capacity to live sustainably
- Widening our interactions in order to create a sustainable society together
Congratulations and best wishes on your fascinating new blog!

Danny,
Meeting you when you spoke at the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago in 1993 precipitated the change of everything in my life, changes I have embraced like one has to embrace a log while it carries your body through the rapids! You are a force for powerful change in the world, in all of the most important and inspired ways. Your simple embrace of poetic vision is like a laser cutting through illusion. Your heart and mind are bright, pure and accessible. I hope your work will find a riverbed that takes it into the world with easy and unblocked flow. We need you.

Thank you Tayria for your graciousness. Our girls will be with you this summer

Tayria, the memory of that meeting in 1993 still lives in me too. It made us friends for life and changed us forever the way all friendship does. D
Jane Vecchione speaks highly of you.Thank you for your words. As a retired executive doing some volunteer work, I am still looking for places and actions to interact with and prevent anxiety and worry about family and the future.

Fabulous work Danny! I look forward to many interesting posts and visiting this inspiring site often.
Oh Danny ! How wonderful to see and hear you reaching out to others! You have always been an inspiration, a leader and friend! We look forward to the content of your words – and the pleasure of joy and potential you see in all life!
Congratulations! Diana and Bart
Thanks Diana. It is similarly inspiring to go into your store – Kellogg and Lawrence – and have you transform hardware sales into fun interaction..
Danny, You have made a fine and lasting difference in our family over the years we have known you. Sharing your spiritual insights with us in Community has empowered and enhanced our lives in so many ways. Our children have fortunately grown up with your spiritual guidance. I have always hoped and wished that many people could learn of you. And we have missed our Sunday liturgies. Now here is the opportunity for all of us to join in a wider community. So good to hear your voice. Blessings on this, the longest day of 2011. Susanna
Susanna, you touch deep and wonderful memories in me. But the Community continues in all kinds of ways. And a great liturgy is now getting prepared in Oregon
Oh yes indeed,
Danny!!! I think of you often. I love you!
Danny
Your wise counsel and amazing insight has been invaluable to our B2020 efforts.
Through enhanced communication and clarity of vision, you inspire all who seek to build a sustainable community.
Sending you every blessing. Your words are inspirational and will connect others.
Blessings on this next part of your journey.
May Peace Prevail on Earth,
Monica
Hi Danny it was great to meet you yesterday! I am still marveling at the steady current of hearts and minds that were present for the IONA presentation. Hope to see you again soon,
Jenny
Beautiful Danny. Thank you for sharing you clear vision.

Danny, your presence in my life has been and will always be an inspiration that lifts my heart and guides my thoughts and being. You continue to lead the way. I am so pleased to have your thoughtful website to share with others so that they too may absorb the essence of your spirit. Warmest of wishes, Anne
Dear Danny,
“… we have to learn how to come together in order to do so…” you wrote in your last comment on the work of “Freelancers”.
Well, probably many freelancers think about the organizational challenges that this kind of work constitutes.
Working from home, I wonder whether other people like me also fight the more “spiritual” challenges that this kind of setting represent: Stop-and-go activities leaving unpleasant moments like: “What’s next?” Or to put it in other words: the “empty day” or “white agenda” syndrome. That’s when we realize that we are social creatures. As George Kohlrieser, a former negotiator with the NYPD for hostage cases points out in his book “Hostage at the Table”: When in a critical situation, the preservation of the bond with the hostage taker is the basis for any successful negotiation.
The bond with other people is what makes us human and this link to the “outer world” is often tenuous when you work alone.
It all boils down to a request for the “Freelancer Union” to take into account this aspect by organizing local or regional meetings of their members where these kinds of problems can be discussed in a deep and significant way.
Thanks for your attention and have a nice day

Dear Danny,
Sending you waves of positive energy from my heart to yours as I work on my massage clients tonight.
Love,

Danny,
Meeting you again for the second time in little over a month since the last time we saw each other back in 1985 is not a coincidence…it was meant to be. What a gift for me ! Thank you for mentioning your blog. I see that you had a vision of what our world needed back then and pursued what is deep in your heart and being all these years. Blessings, Danny. I do not want to wait 27 + years before seeing you again. Impossible anyway. Too old, but young at heart.
Send me an email, if you have the time.
Thanks. Love and prayers,
Catherine
