Herb Ely

I'm an independent trainer, retired civil servant, married with four grown children

After 32 years as a technical intelligence analyst I changed careers and now teach workshops on performance improvement based on the enneagram system of personality types. I am one of a very few civilian graduates of the US Army War College in Carlisle, PA. As part of my ongoing effort to achieve a better balance among mind, heart, and body, I have earned a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I am a graduate of the Spiritual Direction Institute of Msgr. Chester P. Michael and am a member of Spiritual Directors International.

A special word of thanks to my wife, Dorothy, my children Elizabeth, Paul, Matt, and David, who helped me construct this weblog.

Note: If you are curious about how we pronounce our last name, it rhymes with Bruce Lee, if you're from Holywood and Robert E. Lee if you're a southerner.
