About The Need Satisfying Life

I'm Richard Ingalls and I write The Need Satisfying Life blog to help people make the transition from unhappy & unsatisfied to happy & satisfied. I created The Need Satisfying Life blog to help people with starting a new direction in life, leading to a feeling of satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness.

Prior to starting this blog, I spent over fifteen years as a teacher, corporate trainer and workshop leader helping organizations to equip employees with psychology tips, leadership and interpersonal skills which would improve their daily interactions with clients and other employees. I currently work in the healthcare field using technology to train employees about computer skills, as well as interpersonal, leadership and organizational skills.

I first learned of Dr. Glasser's work my senior year in college (1992) and began to read his book The Quality School. Upon graduation I accepted my first professional teaching position at a school district attempting to become a Quality School District. As a part of the first group of teachers to become certificated by The William Glasser Institute from that school district, I was privileged to be a part of the professional development training for my colleagues.

Years later I have left the field of public education, but continue to study and apply the teachings of Dr. Glasser to my professional and personal life. I hope to help others do the same and live a Need Satisfying Life!
