Mastery 9.
Actively seeks to identify ways of expanding capability through systems and structures.

Mastery 2.
Believe vs. Judge, Enable vs. Push, Expand vs. Stretch
I am a firm supporter of (the late) Thomas Leonard’s idea that we can find fulfillment with much less “efforting” – being pulled rather than pushed, toward the things that will bring us fulfillment and success. With this in mind, my new venture was a challenge greater than any I’d recently experienced.
Why? Because it was far more push than pull.
Mastery 8.
Trust, openness, curiosity, courage, recognition of potential
What was the inspiration for this adventure? The recognition that the work I was doing as a coach in the insurance industry would be much better served if I learned to walk their walk, talk their
talk.
