We are more than we appear to be

My name is Ed Blunderfield and I am the founder of Open Dialogue. When I was a kid, I wanted to be Spider-Man when I grew up, but ended up as a corporate management consultant at BCG.

Shortly after arriving at BCG in 2012, my father introduced me to an A.I. computer program, built two decades earlier, called "Overcoming Depression". It ran on MS-DOS and hadn't been updated in over 10 years, but it was capable of conversing with its users in everyday human language.

The program sparked a life-altering shift for me. I discovered how powerful my mind is, and was shocked by how much it had been working against me.

This inspired me to build technology that helps us own our great creative potential as humans. So in 2015, together with my father (a psychiatrist) and a friend, I started to build an app inspired by Overcoming Depression.

Since then I have been combining this technology with my professional coaching services, guiding people who want to make major shifts in their personal and professional lives.

I invite you to reach out if you'd like to learn more about Open Dialogue and the work I do to help purpose-driven people unlock their potential.

Sincerely,

— Ed Blunderfield

What do you really want?

We exist in an incredible world with so much possibility. That being said, we all struggle at times to find clarity, confidence and motivation.

Our own thinking is the greatest barrier between us and what we want.

Open Dialogue is designed to help you identify want you truly want and let go of the self-imposed limitations that hold you back.

How will you get there?

You're not alone on your journey. You don't have to figure out everything on our own.

Open Dialogue can help you find clarity and develop the roadmap and skills required to make meaningful progress.

Who do you want alongside you?

I have devoted much of my adult life to studying human development, and I consciously experiment with what I am learning in my own life.

I am a certified Integral Coach™, trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with the Beck Institute, and I actively work with my own professional coach.

I live in Vancouver and travel the world to learn, play and enjoy life with my family.

My top five personal values are:

Love
Awareness
Health
Self-Expression
Helping Others

What tools do you have with you?

You will have 24/7 access to the A.I.-powered Open Dialogue app.
