Jose Luis has a profound respect for the individuals and organizations he works with. 

​

His interest is in supporting the well-being of the individual, group, or organization by identifying the possibilities for growth and uncovering the patterns that keep them from reaching their potential. 

​

He uses observation and feedback as a way to stimulate curiosity. In naming what he “notices” about the interactions, thoughts, and behaviors of his clients, he encourages them to notice more about themselves.
