Moses is deeply grateful to various friends, teachers, guides, scientists, philosophers, coaches, masters and wisdom traditions for contributing which much of what he has learned and embodied in his background. This continuous learning and practice has contributed for bringing an unfolding sense of presence, care, empathy, objectivity, strategy, wisdom and listening skills to the core of his coaching and consulting practices.
