Randy Guttenberger, Author and Personality Insights Analyst

Meet Randy Guttenberger, Integrated Neuroscience Modality 2019 Conference Host

Houston neuroscience, cognitive behavior, lpc certificationManaging Your Crazy Theory is based on the book, Managing Your Crazy Self!, written by Randy Guttenberger, our conference host.

Randy has spent the past 35 years honing his theory, and when validating it with various counselors the response was immediate:

“You have to teach this at the national conference!” They had never seen anything like it before!

Randy has synchronized multiple theories into a viable, effective, and painless modality! His background in corporate coaching showed him how to use brevity and positivity to get to the heart of the problem and keep clients engaged and away from re-experiencing past trauma.

Randy has many gifts, but one is an ability to reach inside people and make them feel known, and that they are ‘ok’ being their authentic selves. He uses humor and frankness to teach us how to pinpoint areas needing change and inspiration.

In his spare time, Randy enjoys traveling, golf, fishing, and music (he plays several instruments).

Randy has a B.B.A. in Finance from Stephen F Austin State University.
