Dr. Young is one of the pioneers in designing and delivering services that apply positive psychology to functional areas of management such as strategy, financial management, risk, and management control. Dr. Young served as a Senior VP at UBS, Senior Manager of Strategic Management Practices for Latin-America at KPMG as CFO in three industrial companies, and as a positive organizational consultant to companies in banking, transportation, airport management, media, energy, tourism, health care, and public administration.

During the more than 34 years of professional experience in consulting, finance and banking, Dr. Young has seen what can be done is to invite individuals to examine their lives and present an integrated approach that allows them to achieve more clarity so that they can discern what is truly important to them and take the appropriate decisions to achieve their true valued goals. The Mindfulness Based Strategic Awareness Training (MBSAT) is one such integrated approach. Based on Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, Strategic Management, Behavioral Finance, Systems Dynamics and Risk Management among others disciplines.
