Birkman Celebrates 70 Years

September 2021 marks the 70th anniversary of the Birkman Method. It also marks the 8th anniversary of my certification as a Birkman consultant. I’m proud and pleased to be part of the Birkman community and to help expand the method’s reach to a broad range of individuals living in New York and the surrounding area as well as in other U.S. cities.
