I was asked to write about my experience with the Coaching for Transformation certification program through Leadership that Works in Los Angeles, CA - and this is the letter I wrote to coaches interested in enrolling in the program: 

I have a whole shelf dresser drawer filled with old journals, thousands of pages I’ve written for myself over the years of my life. Some of them pre-date my learning to write in cursive, and others date from when I gave up on having a cursive that even I could read and went back to printing. The early volumes reflect an earlier stage in my development, and my written words over time show growth in who I am, what I think, and how I act. I’ve written many words about finding my voice – but perhaps it isn’t something to find and something that develops, just as the voice writing all those pages has developed. It is in this spirit that I begin and dedicate this blog – may we together develop and grow through these words, and may sharing of words allow us a space to transform each other. 
 
Please note: Because I believe in never reading the comments, I have deactivated the comments feature of this blog. However, I welcome your thoughts and words in the form of an email through the contact form – and it is my intention to engage thoughtfully in any such dialogues and use any feedback for growth and development leading to new content. Thank you for any of the ways you choose to engage – I’m grateful for your listening.
