Edward A. Jacobson, Ph.D.

Edward A. Jacobson, Ph.D. was loved and respected. One of the things he was known for was teaching others how to use positive psychology and appreciative listening in their businesses and their lives. Ed's book, Appreciative Moments, has helped those who read it understand the power of asking transformative questions. This optimistic, strength-based approach has been the key to remarkable personal and organizational change for so many who knew Ed, worked with Ed, heard Ed speak and/or read Ed's book and other written works. If Ed were here today, he might encourage us with a gentle gaze and a statement such as, "Don't settle for the ordinary when you can have the incredible." He might be wearing a hat that his old friend Dick Wagner gave him that said something like, "Don't do anything stupid." Prior to establishing his own consulting practice, Ed was with KPMG Peat Marwick where he was a Senior manager in Organizational Effectiveness and Change Management practices. He earned an MBA in Health Care and Finance from Wharton, and received his Ph.D. in pscychology from Indiana University Bloomington. Edward A. Jacobson, Ph.D., will be remembered with love and admiration as a psychologist, coach, consultant, trainer, and writer. Members of the Nazrudin Project, a group near and dear to Ed's heart, are encouraged to check NazNet for community-based conversation and to potentially contribute to a special purpose. Ed's wife Jody and son Aman will be sharing additional information on a Celebration of Life in the near future.
