Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

Here For It Having a space to be honest with our suffering is a gem. Finding someone to share it with, someone who can hold it with grace is a boon in life. Such connections are healing. Just our being able to bear witness not only to our own suffering, but the stories others hold is a healing bridge. 
Go Ask A Boy About His Heart, and Keep Asking We all struggle under the burden of patriarchy. Where are the spaces boys and men have to talk about what’s in their heart? 
Shifting for the Better We all depend on each other in one way or another. This holds true for those in the nucleus of our lives and families, and those in widening circles from there--neighbors, friendships, business relationships.
The Practice Unless you grow, your business won’t grow. When you grow as a human, your leadership changes. When you grow, you free up those around you to grow as well, including your team.
Welcoming In Learning the ways of inclusion is part and parcel of becoming an authentic leader. You can’t have one without the other. Leadership without inclusion is oppression under a different guise.
Creature Signals & Your Horse-Body: How to Have a Conversation Horses communicate entirely through body language — and to lead them, you must find your own. Discover what horses teach leaders about presence, embodiment, rapport, and the kind of awareness that builds trust and belonging in any herd.
The Importance of Rapport: Knowing Who You’re With & Being With Them What can a 1,200-pound animal teach you about leadership, culture, and belonging? Discover how horses mirror our deepest human needs for safety, connection, and presence — and what that means for how we lead.
Opening Doors Think back over the course of your life, how many people in your life opened doors for you? How many doors have you opened for others? How often have you supported without taking credit?
Coming Up Rosie Turning anger into a creative force is a fierce act of care. We can take a tip from Rosie the Riveter here: it starts by rolling up your sleeves, showing up, and building a bridge between the world as it is, and the world we know is possible. To stand where we are and create from there is how revolutions happen.
