HST063: Rural Veteran Mental Helath with Tom Ayala
Thomas Ayala Ph.D. is a skilled organizational advisor, counselor, and change agent. He is adept and comfortable in the role of organizational consultant, yet contrasts that role with management of an outpatient mental health clinic. A diverse and talented individual, Tom possesses influential knowledge and notable interest in the field of psychology. When people invest in someone to help them navigate the challenges and toils of leadership development and organizational culture they desire a bonafide expert who can apply known theories and a successful experiential track record. Most people spend a third of their adult lives at work. Between the pressures of daily living and stress (oftentimes dysfunctional). Work defines people in the most basic way, which is one reason retirement is so difficult for many people. Other key business psychology interests include matching people and jobs, finding ways to reduce workplace stress, and studying people's motivation and job satisfaction.
People Solutions' clients receive support from a highly qualified business coach. Small to mid-sized companies of all types have benefitted from increased communication, efficiency, and morale. Each organization has its own unique story, history, and objectives. With the best of intentions, objectives can become stalled for any number of reasons. Fresh objective perspectives and skilled implementation techniques can make the difference, resulting in efficacy-building success and operational goals being met.
