Svaha:  the time between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder

What people say

Jon Hansen I will be eternally grateful for your great gift of taking in to the fullest extent what it is that I have to offer, living it, and then reflecting it back in terms of the potential experience of others. You have given words to a process that defies words. And you’re constantly in a position to help me continue to hone that, deeper and deeper and more and more resonantly, who I am and what I offer, which is truly invaluable. — Jon Hansen, The Remembering Room, Richmond, Illinois
Ariane Goodwin What you’ve sent me is so darn perfect it hurts! It’s a sheer pleasure to work with someone who writes as beautifully as you do — and in “my” voice. — Ariane Goodwin, Ed.D, smARTist® Telesummit, Millers Falls, Massachusetts
Sherry Essig You have a real gift for words. You’re really, really good at it. — Sherry Essig, Priority Ventures Group, Raleigh, North Carolina
You’ve built such integrity of message in your company. I know that’s because it springs forth intrinsically, but you stay so focused at your core! I can’t think of a better way to phrase that laser-beam focus you have. It’s funny, because in someone else, laser-beam focus would be intense, but somehow you manage to make it much more kind and easy. — Jessica Albon, Thrive Your Tribe, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
I’ve never worked with anybody in the way that I’ve worked with you in terms of trusting in your abilities to the level that I have. — Catherine Hajnal PhD, Eight Branches Consulting, Vancouver, Canada ... facilitating and nurturing joyful living
You have an uncanny ability to see through what is being said and surface all the “unsaid” issues. Then you quickly give candid feedback and have a tremendous toolbox to help me move forward through your expert guidance of the right tool.

I have worked with many facilitators/coaches/counselors relating to work and personal situations. Your skills are exemplary and moved me faster than I ever expected. — Jennifer Baker, Fishers, Indiana
You bring both a spiritual perspective and some real-world hard-headedness. — Janet Bailey, Mindful Time Management, San Francisco, California
Brava! I wish I could draw a picture of me — you’d see me in a deep bow to you!

I read your newsletter as soon as it hits my in-box and you’re always right on with your advice. I had to let you know that this issue is particularly brilliant.

I will definitely keep this info — and your contact info — in a secure place.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight and wisdom. — Debbie Rodgers, CGA

Me and my work – a personal manifesto

Look, I’m an intellectual and a geek, as well as being deeply spiritual and intuitive. 
That means that I may not always be as fuzzy and warm and welcoming as some people are.  And it also means that I know what I’m talking about, I have a bazillion resources I can offer to you – and [...]

It’s a class! On networking! The irony!

So I’ve been missing in action on several fronts in the last few days.  Here, on Twitter, and frankly, even in my own house. 
It’s all for a good cause.  Because in case you missed it (though I’ve been talking about it on Twitter and in my newsletter), I’m teaching a class on networking. 
I’ve been reading the [...]

Corporate politics and sex

Apparently in today’s weird economic environment, just having “corporate politics” in the subject line of an email is enough to make people look over their shoulders to see who’s watching.  And even if the email in question is describing a really cool workshop, no one wants to forward it on to friends and co-workers, for fear [...]

Oh, the agony!

I don’t think I agonized as much over my first newsletter as I have over this blog.
Of course, I knew almost no-one was going to read my first newsletter, whereas I’ve been talking about the blog long enough that there are all sorts of people (or so my fevered imagination is telling me) just waiting [...]
