Did get some summer relaxin’ in these last few weeks. Did a kayak trip up North in the land of the killer whales — Johnstone Strait with Out for Adventure tours. The weather sucked … but we did see killer whales in their natural element. Gorgeous, powerful, sleek and strong. Amazing how nature adapts animals to perfection for what is needed.
Right now I’m writing the e-zine from a coffee shop at Manhattan Beach, California. I attended another great Allison Armstrong workshop (Understanding Women) this weekend. She’s such a talented presenter and researcher with a wealth of information on partnership skills (applicable to romantic relationships plus all kinds of collaborative relationships). I really enjoy her work and appreciate her mission at PAX. Good stuff!
Also had a chance to see several friends and collaborators here, including Sheila Gillette, Jonathon Aslay and Beth Schneider. Lots of great conversations and re-connecting. Gotta figure out how to be down here for at least the winter months! The sun and vibe make me happy 
My segment from the American T.V. show that Graphic Coaching was featured on is now available via video clip. So I’ve written this week’s article about my journey with Graphic Coaching. We are moving into the third cohort of Graphic Coaches now … with coaches from around the world learning graphic coaching skills to enhance their own client work. Check out Graphic Coach Certification for how to join us in 2012.
