Welcome

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

  6. 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.

    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.

    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

  17. 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

    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
