About Majia
Professional Background
I specialize in something called Generatology (a term I made up myself). Generatology is the study of moral, instinctual innovations and generative capacities that exist within all of us innately. We have within us instinctually the raw capacity to adapt through profound adversity with our morals intact.
So in other words, my work is about pioneering new edges and frontiers that deepen my understanding of the various, instinctual processes that allow our species to adapt, individually and collectively. I have a faith in humanity capacity to evolve and my research is here to back up my faith.
I work as a coach, facilitator and consultant for leaders, entrepreneurs, teams, organizations, along with moms, dads, couples and families. I have a website dedicated to women, and I have this website, which is intended to support men.
"Majia has been instrumental in my journey to grow beyond my patterns. As an Asian-American man, I appreciate her ability to help me uncover how issues around race and gender have informed my upbringing and how I carry them into my current life and relationships. I am particularly grateful for her gentle yet intrepid approach, holding me accountable whenever I try to avoid." Tom C
"I have found Majia to be a trustworthy support, helping me navigate the most hidden, dysfunctional corridors of my psyche with intuitive precision and compassionate grace. Her non-judgmental, and caring presence allows me to reveal even my most vulnerable underbelly. With both professional confidence and heartfelt honesty, I recommend her wholeheartedly." Eric L
Personal Background
My mother was an artist, my father an engineer, that thought like a human calculator and my childhood was filled with outdoor, cops and robbers' kind a play with my brothers and friends. I was continually interacting, playing and wrestling with the opposing tensions of life. In addition, I am of a generation where very few of us kids wanted to be indoors, watching TV or playing video games, isolated and alone in our rooms.
As a result, I was destined to grow up to be an out of the box, systems thinker, spidey senser, with a playful heart and wee bit of defiance mixed in. A kind of kid that pointed out limitations, saw push-pulls, and creatively thought of ways to bring checks and balances to things. I'm pretty grateful for having these kinds of experiences in my childhood. But I don't think my parents had any clue the stubborn, hellion they were raising, with that formula.
Thus, this site has evolved into a space for me to nurture my relationship with the people and activities that got me here.
Hobbies
This is my friend and I, doing Jiu-jitsu. Jiu-jitsu when done with care and letting go of the need to "perform", does something for me physically, mentally and emotionally. It helps me think outside the box and improve my systems thinker side. It also offers a metaphor for life, as I share in my writings.
I am also very inspired by mother nature. I look to her as a role model for my work. She is the most pioneering, adaptive woman I know. Consider the diversity, complexity and brilliance of what she has created on this planet. It's mind boggling. So since we are also a part of nature, we have that brilliance and creative, adaptive instinct with us.
Carl Jung once said, "Creativity is instinct."
