Jose Armilla
A naturalized American, Jose Armilla had a passion for American English as a schoolboy in Cebu City, Philippines. He received a BA in psychology from the University of Oregon and a Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Michigan.
In spirited American English, Armilla presents a fresh look at negotiation, using the ancient secrets of feng shui. His negotiation experience included preparing research proposals, meeting with potential sponsors, and as an American government official, negotiating with foreign professionals. In South Vietnam, he frequently met with leaders of the Chinese business community in Cholon. During off-hours, he honed his bargaining skills with rug merchants in Teheran, with designer clothing peddlers in Hong Kong, with itinerant art dealers in Bangkok, and with rare seashell merchants in the Philippines. Armilla believes that whatever lifestyle you follow, the art of feng shui helps you craft win-win negotiations. He has been published in professional journals, most recently in the Foreign Service Journal. He belongs to the American Foreign Service Association and the American Psychological Association. He lives in Vienna, Virginia, is married and has a daughter, a son, and two grandsons.
