About

A 74-year-old husband, father and grandfather. My wife Esther and myself celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary this year. With our family of four daughters and three sons. And our ten grandchildren. My two brothers and two sisters and their partners also joined us for the celebrations.

On the professional side. I’ve a master’s degree in Organisation Behaviour. And a forty-year career in human resource management based in Ireland and Switzerland.  From these bases I’ve worked in Europe, Africa, Asia, North America and South America.

I’ve always been enthusiastic about personal development. And I have read and continue to read widely in this field of studies. My work and studies give me a unique insight into personal development and self-help. which I am delighted to share with readers this blog.

The introduction of Positive Psychology has given a whole new impetus to this discipline. I welcome this development and use its ideas and approach to update my thinking. I write a blog at www.personaldevelopmenttoolbox.com about what it means for self-help. I publish it weekly. Usually on Mondays.

My grandson Conor designed the site. He manages it for me. I’m blessed to have such a creative young man in the family who isn’t afraid to speak his mind. And who keeps me firmly pointed in the right direction technology and design wise.
