Disequilibrium

Listening to my six-year old practice piano this morning reminded me of the past six weeks. He was playing a simple song with a pleasing melody (on the white keys) that ended in very harsh cords (on the black keys). Most of us enjoy when…

The Release

Happy New Year! Being a coach and someone who is always exploring the realm of "human potential," I love the New Year. It's a great time to release what didn't serve you or blocked you in the previous year (some of my friends even like to write…
