Faye Mandell, Ph.D., Founder, Author & Chief Instructor – InWobble Board Member
Faye Mandell was born and raised in the Bronx in New York City. Faye received her Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Boston College.
For the last thirty years Faye has worked in the field of organizational effectiveness consulting. Developing High Performance Teams, Executive Coaching, and Strategic Planning/Development are her main practice areas. She has worked for many fortune 500 companies as well as start-ups and non-profit organizations.
Faye has developed the self-powerment model which teaches people how to come to and stay in the present moment. This approach signals the inevitable trend towards the merger of the hard sciences with the psychology of consciousness and awareness. It allows people to have focus, be at choice and be clear. It also allows people to access the information and experience of living in the here and now.
Faye has written the book Self-Powerment: Toward A New Way of Living which has been published by Putnam, a division of Penguin Books. In addition, she, along with the InWobble team have created the unique website: www.InWobble.com which uses social networking for the purpose of self help through practice and experiencing the Self-Powerment Model.
Faye lives in Providence, R.I. and is the mother of three children.
