One of the concepts I have recently started bringing into my teaching and into my life comes from the Conscious Leadership Group and wonderful their book, “15 Commitments of Conscious Leaders.” This particular one is about being above or below the line and while it really appears to be quite simple to grasp, it is […]
It is a wine and cheese reception, following a graduation ceremony of yet another group of students and change agents who just finished their MBA with Bainbridge Graduate Institute. Brent, who just finished the first of his two years, and I are talking about our summer plans. He says that he doesn’t want to disconnect […]
“Want to try an experiment in something different, love?” This was a written note in a notepad that I pushed over to my beloved, as we sat for a dinner in a lovely Japanese restaurant, on our recent date/evening out.

The Universe seem to listen carefully to such moments, at least for me, […]
Today’s Reflection is about that interesting place, on the edge of chaos and order. I am designing a process and an experience for a class I will be teaching sometime in February of next year.
