In life our surprises often coincide with our lapses of attention. All learning begins not with what we know but by focusing our attention on what we don't know. That's what learning is, after all: not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we have changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning. - Richard Bach

Why are you here? What are you really here to do?

Do you mean on this website? Or in my life? At work? As a parent? As a manager? A relationship partner? A voter and a citizen?

Yes.

Your purpose, commitment, aspirations, passion, effectiveness, performance, fulfillment. The bigger - or the biggest - picture of your life. Your reason for existence. Your contribution on this planet. The meaning of your life. The legacy you will be leaving behind.

[Distances and Directions]The answers to these question are found on a journey of inquiry, exploration, discovery, and action. It is an exciting journey of many adventures, as well as challenges. Such journey will orient your life around what I call Learning as a Way of Being - a combination of beliefs, mental models, strategies, attitudes, and approaches used to navigate our complex, turbulent, unpredictable, and rapidly-changing world. This emergent learning begins at the boundary of one's knowledge.

A traveling companion on such a journey of individual learning is of great assistance. This is my work with individuals, as well as small groups and teams. As your traveling and learning partner, I provide a rich and diverse variety of services from the realm of Personal and Professional Coaching and Mentoring.

Our work together is focused, intentional, and highly personalized. We partner and collaborate along your journey, according to your needs. There is a great deal of flexibility in the structure - in the type of connection (in-person, phone, email, online), in the frequency of our sessions, in the time of day. However, there is no flexibility in your commitment - you must be willing to travel and be open to every challenge, obstacle, or victory along the way.
