What Barak does

Treasure Hunt is simple, fun and profound. It harnesses the unbelievable capacity and adaptability of your brain to enable you to move through life with freedom, delight and power.

Treasure Hunt expands your curiosity, tunes your brain to experience the treasure that's all around you, and frees you to want everything you want - without apology, and without attachment to getting any one thing.

Until this summer I worked with individuals and businesses. I still do that on a limited bases (please get in touch if you want to learn more), and I've switched my attention to developing material that can reach tens of thousands of people around the world.

What Barak does best

I can guide you and your business on a Treasure Hunt to a future you never know existed.

No, we won't be going scuba diving, or digging in the park, or setting goals for that new customer/body/house/romance.

I'm talking about a hunt for the treasures that really get to the heart of things:

  • How can I be fearless, funky and five again?
  • What do I really, really want? Is it still a pony?
  • How do I actually get things done most easily and effectively?
  • What makes me happy?
  • Am I willing to have a life full of treasure?

And for your business:

  • Where is my business really at, when I take away the personal perspective, fears, hopes, anxieties, blinders and filters?
  • What am I not seeing? In the past, present and future? Strengths and weaknesses? Roadblocks and opportunities?
  • What are my real strengths running my business, and am I really taking advantage of them?
  • What am I ready to let go of, how can I swab the decks and chip the barnacles off the hull of my business ship?
  • What resources are right in front of me that I can't even see?

It's not a theoretical, wouldn't-that-be-nice kind of experience I guide you on. It's real, it shifts how you relate to the present and how you travel through time. It addresses the no-kidding issues that will have a huge effect on your bottom-line results. You become a Treasure Hunter.

I developed Treasure Hunt as a playful, powerful approach to personal and organizational transformation--basing it in over twenty years' of academic and practical experience with extremely sophisticated tools and approaches. Yet it's deceptively simple--usually a series of weekly one-hour guided conversations in person or over the phone. The Treasure Hunters I have guided over the years find their lives and businesses thriving and growing in surprising ways, and they start moving through life with an ease that just naturally leads to treasure and happiness.

Education

B.A. Williams College, 1988

M.P.P. University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Ford School of Public Policy (specializing in organizational transformation), 1993

Twenty years of interactions with seasoned experts; countless seminars, conferences and workshops; several yards of books on all sorts of fascinating topics; and ongoing humble exploration with my own mentors, coaches and guides.

Experience

I didn't know it when I started out, but I've spent the first twenty years of my professional life as a Treasure Hunt Guide, exploring the world of personal and organizational transformation and development.

I've worked with troubled teens. Spent five years at the US Department of Labor becoming a nationally-known expert in quality and organizational change (Google "Barak Troublemaker") and having a major impact on how $100 billion in social service money has been spent over the past decade.

I've had my own business since 1999, working across the nation as a consultant and leadership coach with everyone from local small business owners to a former U.S. Senator and cabinet member.

I created the first version of Treasure Hunt about five years ago, and have been exploring and playing ever since.
