Even talents need to grow. This thesis flies in the face of folks who want it easy. Unfortunately, there are many people who take a talent assessment, glance at the results, think "I knew I was good at this," then toss the results in the trash because now their talents are confirmed.
They think they've "done the talent assessment" and have a handle on their talents.
But an assessment is only the beginning. A talent assessment merely reveals areas of talent; it shines the...
I’ve been wanting to write this blog post for awhile now, but for reasons of time and focus, it has had to wait. I can’t write this topic for the Work blog, but I can write it for the Faith blog.
I can’t write it for the Work blog because it would scare some folks away, and I’d lose the opportunity to speak light into their lives, and our journey together would be over too soon.
For example, the coaching client who read a book on the Enneagram and said it was too...

I was returning home from a training course on the Enneagram called “Motions of the Soul,” by Clare and Scott Loughrige, authors of the new book, Spiritual Rhythms of the Enneagram. As a Gallup Certified...
As a White man, I don’t know what it is to NOT be White. My boys are Brown, adopted from the Philippines. I don’t know what it is to be Brown or adopted.
My nephews are Black and adopted, I don’t know what it is to be either. But I do know there’s an uncertainty that is part of fear for the future of these boys.
It's a fear of unpermitted opportunities. A fear of prejudiced judgments. A fear of aggression against. A fear of unfair standards.
It’s a fear I DO NOT...
Yesterday I walked in the dew with my shoes off. I did this to feel alive, but it almost didn’t happen.
You see, after I eat breakfast, I’m on my way upstairs to get ready for work. My wife asks if I would see her garden. She’s been pulling and planting for days now, her vegetable garden in our backyard.
