H.G. Chissell
I made a decision to practice feng shui as full time consultant shortly after graduating college in 1996. Both my parents have an interest in feng shui and Jungian psychoanalysis. My commitment to deepening my knowledge and practice of feng shui led to a variety of rewarding experiences working with people and organizations throughout the US and India.
After focusing on feng shui, interior design and architecture for several years, I decided to explore leadership consulting and accepted an offer to work for a management consulting firm outside Philadelphia. At the firm I and worked with the strategy team and led a group of consultants focused on developing relationships with C-level executives and entrepreneurs committed to delivering breakthrough business results in the cleantech and sustainability arena. This assignment led to my current position at Viridity Energy, an energy optimization company focused on delivering smart grid benefits to large energy consumers. At Viridity Energy I work on market and product development.
