Notes from the Heart and Brain #21 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently I was talking with a client and the topic of trust came up. As we spoke it became clear to me that we often talk about trust without really considering what it is and what it takes to trust.

I often find it easier to work in metaphor when unpacking concepts and this was no different. It occurred to me that trust is like a house owner a

I usually encourage clients and colleagues to spend more energy focusing on what is going well and identifying specific areas for improvement one at a time if possible.

Read excerpt
Through drama I have been given so many opportunities to step outside my world and view things from other perspectives. Drama is a brilliant vehicle for stretching from the confines of our own experience, to find hidden depths in our own emotional landscape, and to create an experience for others as we prepare and perform in service to the story written by the playwright.
