LifeQuake - About Toni Galardi

There are all these labels that describe me; public speaker, psychotherapist, career coach, futurist, and writer. What connects them all is my mission in life. What I care most deeply about is helping you master change so that you can make authentic choices that lead to discovering your life purpose. Through
my work, you will achieve this by utilizing tools I've devised that eliminate the need to use crisis as a catalyst for your transformation.

I was the poster child for 'the change-impaired'. Even after three near-fatal experiences, I still find making big changes a challenge. Fortunately, I created a seven-stage change model that helps me access the wisdom and the courage to change now without the trauma and drama. For those of you who suffer like I did from a 'rut producing fear of the unknown', I provide a light at the end of your tunnel through my coaching, public speaking, workshops, and CD's.

I welcome you to your LifeQuake journey with this message:

If you wake up, you don't have to grow up. You just remember who you really are!

BIOGRAPHY

"Cartographer of the human psyche" is how one columnist described Dr. Toni Galardi. Having spoken to thousands of people, Dr. Galardi knows that scores of adults in every age group are searching for meaning in their lives. The search often begins with inner rumblings. Left unattended, they can reach seismic proportion, leading to complete metamorphosis. The term Toni has coined for this phenomenon is LifeQuake.™ It is a phenomenon she feels is reaching critical mass worldwide.

Toni's formal education comprises a Bachelor's Degree in Health Services Administration, a Master's Degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling, and a Ph.D. in Psychology. By the age of 26 she was well established: married to a successful businessman, teaching seminars, and thriving in private practice. From the outside her life looked good.

Glossing over her own inner rumblings, Galardi began a subtle but steady slide downward. It took three serious auto accidents within six days to shake her into really feeling the effect of her own tremors and a lifestyle she had outgrown. But the true turning point would not come until she lost everything, including her health, to toxic mold.

Since then, Galardi has charted a seven-stage process that leads one from the adolescent adult self to the spiritual adult she calls the Trans-functional Self: one who can rapidly adapt to change through accessing multiple levels of consciousness.

In her new book (February 2008 release) The LifeQuake Phenomenon, Galardi profiles some of the most successful examples of the LifeQuake model from interviews culled from her former talk show People on the Edge. Toni interviewed major risk-takers like Suzy Prudden, national fitness expert and author of MetaFitness. Enrico Colantoni, star of the hit show Just Shoot Me, Ted Green, award-winning ESPN sports producer and Betty Friedan, pioneer of the Women's Movement.

A noted seminar leader, Galardi has adapted the LifeQuakeT model for Corporate America as well. Working with companies as diverse as Xerox, The American Bus and Tours Assoc. and International Media Network (to name a few), she has counseled scores of corporate executives as well as small business entrepreneurs. Today, Toni's consulting practice and public speaking engagements focus mainly on those seeking to master change and move into a life that combines joy with genuine purpose.
