Dr. David Cawood the author of The Secret Sabbatical: The Revolutionary Approach to Recover Your Imagination and Discover Your Destiny for the Rest of Your Life joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Dr. David Cawood discuss the following:
- How can you plan a successful life change and overcome roadblocks on the way?
- Which three guides give your life meaning and purpose?
- How do you recover your imagination and creativity?
- How do you add real meaning to your life and career?
- What powerful life lessons can we learn from Shakespeare and classic movies?
For the past decade, David Cawood, Ph.D., MBA, B.A., CMC. has taught The Secret Sabbatical Course in one-on-one sessions with professionals and business executives, with powerful results. Now he shares the life-changing skills, tools and inspiration of this course in his new book, The Secret Sabbatical.
His practice involves three distinct but related fields—organizations, the humanities, and applied science.
David worked as a manager, then head office executive, before completing an MBA and Ph.D. and serving on the faculty of a business school.
He was a founding member of the first North American Strategic Consulting Group with what is now Deloitte. After a few years, he built an international consulting company, described as the most consistently successful strategic consultancy on the West Coast. This involved several decades of work with very large firms such as HP, De Beers and Deloitte. Clients include a wide range of organizations, from engineering, health care, and infrastructure, to education and research. In addition to the main consulting work, he designed and then handed over executive development workshops for universities and in-house colleges in several countries.
The humanities have historically recognized the power of the human imagination and offered successful examples of paths to needed change. David has kept this track of interest alive in his practice by following those who keep evolving the great traditions of the humanities through film, novels and other media. Over the years he’s offered ongoing workshops with Continuing Studies adult audiences, Jung Societies and other forums that have relevance to current personal and organizational dilemmas.
As an Adjunct Professor of Strategy and Leadership in Applied Science at the University of British Columbia David has taken a keen interest in that key intersecting realm of applied science. But his university and in-house college work can offer only a few ideas from this book, as this material is for readers willing to go on a far-ranging interdisciplinary journey—beyond any single faculty.
He lives on a creek in West Vancouver with his wife, the artist Alexis Cawood.
