When you think … [Read more...]
Lessons from the Liminal Edges of Life [Ep145: Blogcast]
[This post is also a blogcast; you can listen here:] Back in the summer of 2008, the first module I completed as part of my training to become a coach was a process called “Living Your Vision®.” The idea was that before we could support our clients in discovering their truths and acting on those revelations, we needed to do that work ourselves.
