Welcome to another edition of the #JungianBitsofInformation blogcast. My name is Nicholas Toko and I am the host and author of #JungianBitsofInformation, a blog, blogcast, individual and workplace transformation service dedicated to exploring the unconscious in the workplace, specifically, the dynamics between the individual psyche and the workplace. Through my blog I explore Jungian or Analytical Psychology ideas and concepts for both clinical and non-clinical audience using workplace issues and challenges to amplify Jungian ideas and concepts particularly for non clinical audiences. I am also a freelance Organisational Effectiveness Consultant and a training Jungian Analyst at the International School of Analytical Psychology also known as ISAP based in Zurich, Switzerland.
