Do you belong?
I don’t! At least not until fairly recently in my life.
You see, although I don’t present as one, I am naturally more of an introvert.
Additionally, for reasons mostly of my own creation and external...

Words are powerful and distinctions help us turn words into roadmaps for action.
If you don’t already have a bias for action, my work won’t help you.

Last night, my daughter was having a tough time.
She was angry at herself and stuck in a cycle of rumination over a totally innocent mistake she had made.
In last week’s blog I wrote about the value of reflection and how experience without reflection does not lead to the kind of learning...

My client, Sebastian, thinks he’s behind on “life”.
He thinks he missed the memo the rest of us received on how to live a happy life.
