I've been dedicated to seeing blind spots, and the dynamics involved in quality CONNECTION. Methods I've been trained in, explored and use work so with some effort you learn better how to live and lead - living and leading your life, living and leading your life in a relationship and/or leading an organization or just working in a group. Whether it's your business, a romantic OR business partnership, a family or team integrating and ship-shaping itself, I give you what I've found gets you better quality connection.

It also gets us connecting better with others. I've collected ground-breaking resources over decades. Please read these last two sentences again and consider how you relate to this.
