'This is the only thing I’ve learned: There’s only us. There’s no them. Despots and authoritarians need to make a “them” to have a straw man whom you are against. If you need to make an enemy of “them,” you’ve lost the spirit of us.' #Quote #KenBurns

In very many situations that professionals bring to SuperVision, they don't need more knowledge - what makes the difference is discovering a new way of seeing. #reflectivepractice

I currently have a very close to finish book, an almost complete draft of another book and at least 2 other semi-formed books in the wings! Project hopping may not be an ideal habit. But it happens. #amwriting

Yes @steveofmcleod.com each stage of the writing journey can feel like a stepping stone across a river. There are stones that feel wobbly, or the gap between stones is daunting. The possibilty of reaching the other side sometimes feels dubious.

Hurrah. Great news @steveofmcleod.com . Congrats!

I do not perceive that a person ‘rambling’ in their thoughts is negative. Just as we get to truly see the countryside when we ramble through it, sometimes we need to slowly wend our way through our thoughts, in order to recognise what is there and where we are within it. #listening #coaching
