Psychologist - Dr.Ron Dougan

www.career-smarts.com

4Hi! Let me tell you a bit more about myself. A graduate of the University of Alberta, I have been a Chartered Psychologist in the Province of Alberta for many years. Following a clinical internship in the Texas Medical Center, Houston, I served for several years as Director of the Pastoral Care Department of the University of Alberta Hospitals. While there, I regularly conducted classes for medical, nursing, physiotherapy and theological students.

My interest in career planning and development extends back many years, when, in the role of Education Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force (Reserve), I provided service personnel with educational and occupational counselling. For the past 25 years, I have continued this emphasis on career/life planning by offering test-based career counselling to thousands of adults and students.

I was a member of a committee that designed a professional doctoral program for St. Stephen's College, Edmonton. As an Adjunct Professor at that institution, I had the privilege of supervising doctoral students and serving on doctoral committees over a period of 20 years.

In the pursuit of my own career goals, my education has taken on an international flavour: I have graduated from post-secondary institutions in Houston, Texas, San Francisco, California, and Edmonton, Alberta. These educational experiences have given me much first-hand experience with the differences and similarities in the universities in both countries.

I am a member in good standing of the College of Alberta Psychologists. In addition to being a founding member of the Industrial/Organizational Psychologists Special Interest Group, I have been a member of the Canadian Psychological Association, and the Canadian Guidance and Counselling Association. My wife, Catherine, and I are Directors of The Career Institute of Calgary.

3My name is Maureen Wagner, President & CEO of EMPRESARIO Matchmaker Inc. I have been matching professionals and executives since 1983, and have found that we match on our values. Participating in my process brings insight as to how we select and deal with our close intimate relationships. We will assist you in finding a good match.

Empresario grew out of a need for busy Professionals and Executives - men and women to meet others of similar social values, lifestyle and background.

Most of our clients are high achievers, and most have one thing in common - not enough time to search for that one special person. I have found that professionals and executives are busy, take charge individuals, who are aware of the value they bring to a relationship.

At Empresario our matchmaking service is based on personal screening, confidentiality, honesty and integrity. Empresario is not a dating service. Introductions are made on a screened selective basis with the help of my associates, who have worked with me since 1992. Our clients range from 19 to 82 years of age.

EMPRESARIO Matchmaker Inc. is the only Canadian company of its kind that attracts and produces results for a select clientele of quality single individuals who have a strong desire to form a committed relationship and are in search of a suitable and compatible life partner.

If you are an executive or professional living in the Calgary area we invite you to become a member and make use of our services in your search for your soul mate.
