“I am Ronald Mah, therapist, trainer, and educator... son, father, and husband... activist, "radical," and interventionist... speaker and author... child of immigrant parents. I seek to combine all relevant concepts, principles, and philosophy with practical techniques and guidelines for effective and productive results.

I will use stories, experiences, humor, and wisdom (gained from sometimes less than wise earlier decisions!) from diverse realms to illustrate important points in a stimulating and highly motivating style.

Making the process practical yet conceptually sound for clients or workshop participants is the goal of my work.”
