six people, one room, and a big question
13 days ago • 1 min readHey Reader, Last week I told you about a gathering I'm speaking at in New York on May 2–3. This week I want to tell you about the people who'll be in the room, because the range of experience is unusual. Between us, we've worked in prisons, addiction services, military settings, healthcare systems, schools, and community organisations.

4 months ago • 4 min readA New Year Doesn’t Change You But One Thought Might Most New Year messages tell you to set goals, fix yourself, or become a whole new person by midnight. Let’s be honest: if that worked, the world would look very different! I want to offer you something simpler and far more powerful. You are not a self-improvement project.
