Bruce World - Your Life Guide
Hi, I’m Bruce Handler and I’m a certified professional Executive/Leadership & Life Challenges Coach. I’ve been a Human Resources professional for over three decades and have experienced several interesting and unusual behaviors. As a Coach, I help people achieve their goals by changing the way they choose to think and act. I’m most interested in psychology, human behavior and habits and what it takes for people to lead happier, more satisfying and fulfilling lives. I’m here to share my realist views about how humans behave and why, and what you can do to tackle and deal with life's challenges. I will also provide you with important as well as fun facts and interject a little humor along the way; I will challenge people’s assumptions; and maybe influence the way people think and act.
