CURRENT MISSION

If you let me know in advance, I would love you to join me and some other Vietnamese friends for my free, two-hour workshop in my home Sunday afternoons at 2:00 pm.

“Having fun with Problems" is a free, two-hour, in-person workshop I host every Sunday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at my residence in the HAGL Lakeview Apartments in Da Nang. During these two hours, you and up to 11 other attendees will learn how to approach life's challenges with ease and enjoyment, regardless of their nature. We'll explore a variety of common issues such as worry, overthinking, procrastination, stress, guilt, depression, interpersonal conflicts, family relationships, and finding one's purpose in life, showcasing how these can be tackled with a curious mindset. The workshop includes opportunities for all participants to share their experiences and pose questions, fostering an interactive and supportive environment.

I'm so excited about my 14:24 Guest House..and you will be too. Check it out: https://www.askdwighthow.org/

That dance of connection with others, in a moment-by-moment and soul-to-soul tango, inciting both ephemeral and indelible delight and intrigue, inviting her and him into my playground of life and into my eternity of now...

ABOUT ME

Who is Dwight GoldWinde?

Dwight spent his childhood years living in South and North Carolina. After high school, he attended college, traveled in Europe for six months and spent six months in the Marine Corps Reserve. He then borrowed $200 from his parents in 1966 and moved to New York City, without knowing anyone there.

Dwight discovered his love of computers in NYC where he worked for IBM and then, at the age of 24, started his own computer software consulting business. During that time, he became a workshop junkie and actively studied psychology, motivation, nutrition, sales and marketing, cultural anthropology, spirituality, and philosophy.

Fourteen years later, while attending a Neuro-Linguistic Programming seminar (a psychological discipline) in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dwight fell in love with the Valley of the Sun. He packed up his bags and moved to Tempe, Arizona where he re-established his software consulting business.

In Arizona, Dwight was generally satisfied with this life and was frustrated with one area. He found that he was not good at keeping promises and commitments to himself.

Thus, with his background in psychology and motivation, Dwight created an approach that was almost foolproof and later called it Consider It Done. Consider It Done essentially guaranteed to people that they would keep any agreement they made with themselves.

Dwight quickly found himself achieving things with consistency that he had never imagined. As his friends and business associates learned about the results Dwight was getting personally, they began to ask for his services. He later began to also offer personal and business coaching and his new business took off.

Dwight has successfully coached thousands of people around the world over the past 24 years and loves what he does. He has worked with corporate executives, small business owners, artists, musicians, doctors, lawyers and others from every walk of life. He has worked with people from all ages from 7 to 82 years old!

During his 18 years in Arizona Dwight was both married and divorced. Then in November, 1999, Dwight made the biggest move of his life. He moved overseas to Asia, which he had discovered four years earlier. He first landed in Tokyo and, after a year there, he has now settled in Shanghai, China.

Dwight chose Shanghai because he loves the culture, people, and country and he plans to live there somewhere between indefinitely and forever. In his spare time, Dwight enjoys hanging out with friends, writing, and exploring Shanghai. His book Courage: the Choice that Makes the Difference-Your Key to a Thousand Doors was published in 2004.

Forever turned out to be nine years. In January of 2010, Dwight moved his entire life to Kunming, China, the Spring City of China. Watch out, Kunming!

As of April of 2022, I have been living in Medellin and then Bogota, Colombia. I am now seriously considering moving to Hanoi, Vietnam. I miss Asia!

It's not Hanoi. Saigon is my new home as of June 23rd, 2023.

PHILOSOPHY

1) Listen to your heart
2) Use your head
3) Choose courage at least ten times each day, playing with the fear
4) Enjoy the processes of life; take your major focus off the results
5) Live as if everyone is your playmate or potential playmate.
6) Take everything step by step (it is all a process anyway)
7) Know that life is your playground
