Karel has spent much of his life observing people interacting with others, their world, and themselves; read widely about improving the human condition, optimizing the interactions between people, and driving effective organizational change; and practiced what he’s learned. He has Ph.D. level training in Psychology and Cognitive Science, has taught university, conducted research, and has been a program director for design at IBM for 20 years. Karel has taught, lead, managed, and mentored thousands of people over the years. He’s also a father of four with kids ranging in age from 7 to 19. Recent reflections on the formal and informal mentoring he’s done over the years has led to the realization that he has insights, thoughts, and experiences that would be beneficial to share in this podcast series. Enjoy.

Hello Karel,
I just found your podcast via iTunes. I am finding it so helpful to me right now and wanted to personally thank you. I look forward to future episodes.
Hello! It was nice talking to you. I came upon this website and am wondering if there is captioning or transcript provided for any audio podcast on this site?
Hi Pam, thanks for your interest in the podcast. The third tab at the top of this site provides the quotes and top 10 lists discussed on the podcast episodes. However, additional information isn’t available at this time but may well be in the near future given some technology advances that are being tracked.
Karel, thank you for your piece on Fostering Creativity! It was a gentle introduction to living an inspired and connected life. I look forward to listening to your other podcasts - their all loaded on my iPod. Keep up the inspired work, Karel. Cheers, Claudine
Hi Karl, I discovered you pod-cast almost a year ago. Since then I listened to all 32 episodes and some more than once. I wanted to tell you that this discovery came at a right moment in my life and that you became a friendly voice in my every day life, giving me lots of things to think about. I’m a french graphic designer that came to Toronto 2 years ago on a sabbatical with my partner and my 3 children. Presently I have some issues and am seeking comfort in all the advise I can get. I wish I could tell you more about me about mainly wanted to compliment you on your pod-casts. I really enjoy the quotes at the beginning of them. You can learn a little more about me if you check out the link to the website. Best regards Christine
