Elwood (Woody) Goulart

I am professionally trained and certified as a life coach. I also earned a Master's Degree and Ph.D. in communications so I could teach full-time at the university level. I have employment experience in coaching, mentoring, training and teaching adults.

After a significant span of years working within large organizational settings, I made the decision to devote my energies and experience to helping individuals on a one-to-one basis.

I am a proponent of boosting one's EQ (emotional intelligence) which I have found is far more important for one's success compared to their IQ. I also focus upon answers that are already inside you by showing you have to master and manage what I define as your "mind voice" (that person we all hear inside our minds--what we tell ourselves is true and how we either limit ourselves or advance ourselves.)

I am a gay man who is not in the closet. I can coach you in coming out because I know from experience the rough road that often involves. I once was married to a woman but now am married to a man. As the song says, "I've looked at life from both sides now." As a result, I can help you sort through and rise above gay male issues in relationships and in your career.
