Why Approach Avoid - A Dedication

Hello, my name is Brad Lehman and I am the editor of this website.  You will find my research into Approach and Avoid along with other bits of information I have collected along the way and shared with you on how to take this information to improve organizations and individual experiences.  

My work on Approach -  Avoid was started to help my son Jack, myself, and others by learning more about the Brain, and to develop better Self and Society Awareness.  Sadly, I lost Jack and the work of this website and mapping is dedicated to him.  

My interest in Society Awareness came from my experience being a Bond Trader.  Getting an in-depth understanding of the world was important for the position.  You will see a lot of that learning in the Big Picture page and Blog to assist you with adaptation ideas and content.  I also have had interest in Customer Service - my current field of work.    

The Detached Observation focus along with study into Self Awareness came to life as I asked multiple questions, including, why do two people not see the world the same and can spend a whole lifetime being the opposite ends on thoughts and issues?  Using Detached Observation helped me discover more of how and why this is.  It also got me curious and guided me in the direction of why humans approach and avoid.  

Below you will find a photo gallery of Jack.  

Our time here is limited - let's work together to make positive improvements with the abilities, time, and resources we have available.  If you decide to build maps to improve the human experience with us (whether it is our free or paid options), you can count on us to be in your to accomplish these positive improvements.
