Welcome to my web page, or as I like to call it, my “vulnerability playground!” If this is your first visit, tool around the place and check out who I am, what I am passionate about and what I am up to lately!
There’s at least one category to cover each of those curiosities and many more! I would like to share with you that I’d love your visit here to be a delightful if not intriguing experience for you. There are millions of us out there in the world and you landed here today so feel free to take in a word, a photograph or a blog post. Or, take a look at where I am speaking next or what workshop I have up my sleeve. Better yet, look at where I am spending my energy and see if there is something you’d like to have created for you or some facet of your work or play life and let’s co-create something new!!!
No matter what else you do, please leave a note or comment about your visit because you have tons to do with why I’m here!!!! Enjoy!
What’s Brewing? I am kicking off a journey into one of the biggest of my unknowns yet: spreading the gifts and challenges available to us all through our vulnerability. The effects of creating a gentle and loving relationship with my own vulnerability, an ongoing process, has provided me with a ton of excitement and enthusiasm, so much so that I can’t contain myself!!!
So yes, in the most global sense I am creating a virtual “vulnerability playground” for people to visit and see what “equipment” they want to play on. At this very moment in time I am starting out here doing some blogging on this very juicy topic and simultaneously offering talks out in the San Francisco Bay area where I make my home.
I’m also providing various “vulnerability gyms,” a group coaching program conducted over the phone, and, an on-site group coaching/training program called the Vulnerability Gym Wellness Program.” And of course, for those of you who love that harder-core, pun intended, training program setting, I am taking a small handful of one-on-one clients to do “deep tissue” work (and play) around personal empowerment/leadership through vulnerability. One concept and a myriad of mind-body-and spirit blowing possibilities! So enjoy yourself here….take a breath and see if anything lands or speaks to your gut around this whole territory of vulnerability. You’ll know best if it’s a fit.
Meet Up Group
I have started a Meet Up Group for people in my immediate geographical area (Silicon Valley) who are interested in meeting to discuss Brene Brown’s work on vulnerability, shame resilience and related topics. From there, we can talk about creating anything we want to infiltrate this work into our work, schools, families and relationships. I would love to see you there!!!
