They can be friends, family, strangers. Listen to homeless people if you can. Break through the illusion you are separate or less than or better than someone else. Does not matter who. Advance listening: trees and birds and bees :) The key question comes out of the book The Coaching Habit: the AWEsome que

Do you need expert listening and coaching once a month to navigate uncertainty into your new life at work or home? Transformation can happen faster when someone sees you, can help you be become more yourself at work, home and in between. Do you want to make some big changes but feel confused about next steps? I like working with small business entrepreneurs, activists and artists to help you see the goodness as De Mello says. Is that you? What to expect? I tune into what y

Tune in on the 19th of May to a conversation with Dr. Christine Webb, wonderful primatologist and author of The Arrogant Ape.
