Is the glass half full or half empty? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Do you see opportunities or challenges? One’s answers to these familiar questions have often stimulated thought and discussion. Similarly, our Degrees of Well-Being (DOWB) self assessment tool, created and launched a few years back, invites individuals to answer 93 statements based on how they are currently living their lives. Not how they would like to be living their life. And, there is a big difference between the two. Continue Reading →

The Implications of Grace Under Fire

By: Kelly Williams and Bill Cumming

Two incidents within the past few weeks have illuminated once again the real solutions to violence and damage in our world. And yet, questions remain: did we hear and see the solutions within the incidents? Do we understand the implications for our own lives and are we willing and ready to learn from these in service of a healthy planet?

Review and ‘book bias’ by Bill Cumming

Every once in a while a book comes along that is so important that it, in and of itself, alters the conditions in which we live.

Testimonials

Constant awareness of how I approach others, and how I hold them when I approach them, has been a really revelatory concept for me.

[This course] is one of only a few that had real life applications that helped prepare me to teach
Gina Martin | Springfield, MA

Thinking about standards boundaries, things I tolerate and things that excite me are all very powerful and things we should but likely would not do unless prompted like this!

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.

With each session, the conversation became easer and easier to grasp and experience. This was primarily resulting from the mounting proof that the conversation was real and true…it is the holistic nature of the conversation, as one conversation, that makes the process so satisfyingly effective.
Roy Chatterjee | Portland, ME

My entire world has changed and I see things a lot differently today than I did before I began this process…I’m a lot more grounded and am learning how my self-care allows me to take better care of myself so I can be a better leader to my team; lead by example.
