Anatomy of a Breakdown
How does an organization not only recover, but thrive, after a mistake is made? Inside of sufficiency?

Breaking Free of the Money Trap
Getting our money aligned with our values is possibly one of the most powerful actions of sufficiency we have available.

Completion & Creation 
To be complete means to have left nothing unsaid, nothing unattended to or cared for well, nothing that is festering that will likely take even one ounce of your attention. And from completion is the best way to create.

Context
Leaders invent new contexts; it is often called a paradigm shift. The first one to shift is yours.

Conversations
Conversations are actions and they make possible a future that otherwise would not exist. We coordinate action in language by making offers, promises, requests, as well as declining. All of these moves lead to creation of that which did not exist prior to the conversation..

Leader’s Inventory
Integrity is at the center of our power – where we are out of integrity we are leaking our power. Have a look at where you are out of integrity – where word and deed do not match, where you say one thing and do another, where you know you are not being honest, where you are selling yourself short.

Mourning Our Losses
Mourning our losses – whatever they are – is an act of sufficiency because it is attending to what is true and real for us while accepting and allowing what is constantly emerging in the moment, the constancy of change, whether we’ve chosen it or not.

Practice
Practice gives us access to creating context. In somatic coaching we say, “We are what we practice and we are always practicing something.”

Loving-Kindness Practice
Within Loving-Kindness most of us find a stance for social justice, creating a sustainable life and an overall experience of living a peaceful life.

Professional Development
What are we developing, and why? We must always keep this question at the forefront in every professional development intervention.

Team Building Leadership
A new way to think about teams, here is an overview of how we think about teams and organizations. When a team can look at itself, and regularly reflect on all four of the levels discussed here, getting its context, values, outcomes and practices aligned, they will have the makings of a top performing team of leaders from every chair.
