Charlie Badenhop is hard to describe in a brief summary. To call him eclectic is an understatement. You know he's a New York native as soon as he opens his mouth and he's lived in Japan for 30 years. He is the son of a captain in the New York City Fire Department and one of the few foreigners in Japan to be certified as an Aikido sensei as a fourth-degree black belt. He calls his work Seishindo and describes it as a mix of the best of Western problem-solving and positive thinking skills with Eastern contemplative awareness. He's also a certified NLP Trainer and used to teach Aikido for John Grinder at some of John's early NLP trainings. This is a fun conversation.   You can find out more about his work and contact Charlie at www.seishindo.org     Want more Essential Coaching Skills? Check out... EssentialCoachingSkills.com
