Hi from Joel Moses

As I write this we are in the midst of moving from our home in NJ to Florida, with an interim stop at our country home in the Berkshires. So, life is very hectic, but fullfilling.

Linda and I were married 45 years ago (Nick, Bob B and the late Herb Charnes were ushers). We have two boys, two grandkids and one dog, who is shown in the picture with me.

After graduating, I went to Baruch where I received my MBA and graduated first in my class, and was fortunate to have lunch with Martin Luther King as representative of my class. Following this, I went to Baylor, where I received my Ph. D. in Organizational Psychology.

My career has been a satisfying one - spending the first part as a psychologist at AT&T and actively participating in its divistiture. I have specialized in identifying leadership potential and have aquired a nice reputation in this field, culminated by receiving the Distinquished Professional Contributions award from the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology in 2000. I've written several books and lots of other stuff. Steve Marcus and I have been in contact through the years as we share many common areas of practice.

I left AT&T in 1989 to form a consulting firm, was its President and Managing Director, and we grew to over 45 employees with business all over the world in the area of assessing leadership potential and developing leadership talent. I sold my share of the business last year, and have joined another firm tas a Senior Practice Fellow to help build their leadership practice. Additionaly, I've been on the Board of the MedicAlert Foundation, and am currently its Chair.


I look forward to sharing more details with all of you, and can't wait to see you all again. Thanks to Steve and Bob for making this happen.
