When I’m working with emerging leaders, we’re always doing two things at once: 1. Working through the specific situation they’re in right now.  Obviously…that’s what they came to coaching for. 2. Building their Philosophy of Leadership. That one is less obvious. But a lot more valuable. 

I’ve spent just about $10K on coaching since I started my business. (Yes, my business is coaching...The irony is not lost on me.) It’s a lot of money. Especially for a single mom. There are a hundred places I could have spent that money. But, last week, I remembered why.

If you’ve never seen it, you’re missing out. The struggle and vulnerability of these little insects, wrapping themselves in vessels of transformation, allowing their bodies to disintegrate into goo and be completely remade.  He released over 100 monarchs this year.  It’s breathtaking every time.  It reminds me that things are emerging.
