About Gunter, The Short Story……

Gunter is a psychologist, speaker, author, mentor, coach and facilitator with over 30 years experience in counseling and organizational development.

SPEAKER
After more than 40 years experience Gunter’s passionate perspectives on what makes human beings thrive makes him a very insightful commentator and speaker. His aim is to stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and inspire your soul. Gunter is a psychologist, speaker, author, mentor, coach and facilitator with over 30 years experience in counseling and organizational development. Gunter has given keynotes all over Australia, NYC and Los Angeles as well as being a TEDx Speaker.

Author
We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity. Both books are available at all major and independent retailers globally. The Making Good Men Great Movement also made Oprah’s #MustWatch list in 2018.

Mentor
In both the personal and professional sphere, Gunter has successfully worn many hats. Added to his education, experience and eloquence it allows him to develop a relationship with someone that ignites their aspirations.

Coach
In today’s world, the challenge to be ‘perfect’ is a constant source of stress. Gunter firmly believes that each person has to find their ‘own bliss’. His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.

Facilitator
Gunter is exceptional in facilitating outcomes in learning, productivity, and communication by providing a safe environment with unobtrusive assistance and guidance wherein participants experience the flow between content and context.

Inspire Change SEASON 7-297 Why Philosophy Precedes Science

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter jumps right into a mindful discussion on: Why Philosophy Precedes Science – and What It Means for Us.

Before every experiment comes a thought. Before every action comes reflection. This week on Inspire Change, Gunter argues that philosophy doesn’t just precede science historically—it precedes it always. And the same is true in life: awareness, reflection, and contemplation must precede meaningful change. “If we neglect philosophy, we become technicians of existence—clever with tools but blind to meaning.”

#InspireChange #Philosophy #Science #Reflection #Contemplation #SelfDevelopment #Masculinity #MakingGoodMenGreat

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter dives into a meaningful conversation about what is normal? He breaks down what Gabor Mate teaches about healing. This mindful discussion is inspired after reading Mate's book: The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Gabor Maté is a Hungarian Born/Canadian physician. He has a background in family practice and a special interest in childhood development, trauma,[2]and potential lifelong impacts on physical and mental health, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, ADHD and addiction. Maté's approach to addiction focuses on the trauma his patients have suffered and looks to address this in their recovery. In his book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction, Maté discusses the types of trauma suffered by persons with substance use disorders and how these disorders affect their decision-making in later life.

Inspire Change SEASON 7-289 This isn’t Capitalism - The Billionaire Illusion

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter starts a mindful conversation on the phenomenon of the billionaire illusion. Example, what we are seeing today is a distorted version of capitalism.

IF you have some thoughts to share on this conversation. Please reach out and contact us! WE INVITE all viewpoints as long as its a 2-way street conversation. We can disagree, but be respectful.

This week our gratitude goes out to India.
