After a very, very long and hard night, I had an incredible practice with my builder. I had not slept all night and it was very late his time. There is a 12 hour time difference between us…BUT/AND we have never let that get in our way of practice. This writing is my writing from … Continue reading The Trial is the Trail

You Think You Know the Truth?
“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” – CS Lewis Hard practice with one of my teammates (clients), yesterday. Machine gun-fire, grenades and Improvised Explosive Devices all over the !@#$ing place. Damn. Damn. Damn. He and I have spent the last several months moving through some hard terrain. That … Continue reading You Think You Know the Truth?
Sick Man, too (II).

I love the rhythm of this place, the air, the water, the familiarity. Most of all, I love who I live with. This is where … Continue reading I am home, but…
Praesens Impavidus
I had my first face‑to‑face practice with a new client yesterday and I was reminded - - - again - - - why presence matters. There is a difference between interaction and encounter. Two people in the same room, carrying attention, risk, silence and truth. No screens. No abstraction. Just reality. That kind of presence … Continue reading Praesens Impavidus
A Built To Lead Commitment
At Built to Lead, we reject the myth of passivity. We do not ask: What happened to you? We ask: What is happening through you - - - AND - - - what are you allowing it to produce (fire or fruit?) Because the world does NOT need more victims with good explanations…(I am a … Continue reading A Built To Lead Commitment
