San Diego Business Person of the Week: Dr. Ida Greene

Say Goodbye to Your Smallness ... say Hello to Your Greatness!

These powerful words come from San Diego based psychologist Dr. Ida Greene. For over 30 years Dr. Greene has helped people enjoy greater success, greater prosperity, anger relief, and much more. She is the author of 18 life changing books and is a highly sought after speaker in the personal development field.

She has been a Psychiatric nurse since 1970, Intuitive Life Coach since 1990, Executive Director of a non profit organization teaching self-esteem and anger management to children in foster homes and domestic violence/anger management to adults since 1990. She has taught student nurses and students in SD city schools for 14 years and students at SD community college and SD State University.

As a certified/trained as a Hypnotherapist and Reiki energy balancing Practioner she gets to the root cause of why people struggle with issues in their life. One program close to her hear is a non profit organization called Our Place Center of Self Esteem which provides monthly, co-education Life Skills classes-teaching Self-Esteem, Manners Etiquette, and a separate Anger Management support groups. These classes assist children and family members in learning techniques to improve their communication skills, develop leadership skills and interpersonal relationship.

As a result, many families develop enhanced positive communication and relationships. Their increased self-worth, provides them the self-discipline necessary to avoid peer pressure and the desire to "fit in" or belong to a group due to rejection or social isolation. The children learn how to prevent the use of alcohol and other drugs. We specialize in assisting children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.

When people feel better about themselves and receive positive feedback unrelated to what they do, they develop feelings of security, importance and self worth which raise their self-esteem. After learning how to change their behavior, their self-value and attitude changes automatically from negative to positive. When children feel wanted and needed, it shows up as high self-esteem. This gives them a better opportunity to cope with negative feedback, conflict, feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and frustration. They become less likely to seek negative attention, engage in self-destructive behaviors and/or use mind-altering substances to feel good about themselves. Then they feel they can make a difference in life. Persons with high self-esteem, a positive attitude, and character are the future leader of tomorrow.
