July post is up on the blog: CALM CONFIDENCE.

Calm confidence, to me, means that the confidence we feel is not ever a source of our control over others, instead it is the tool that keep us in control of ourselves.

July 3, 2018 all posts Leadership Skills Essentials: Calm Confidence Confidence is an expected and essential leadership quality. In the presence of someone who lacks confidence, we feel one or both things: a desire to insert our own power over the other person, and/or a fear that we are not protecte...

Real leadership, the kind that calls for the leader to stand naked in front of a crowd in the name of peace, equality, and honesty, is founded on compassion. Compassion, on the other hand, is founded on vulnerability - a person's willingness to choose truth over egocentric appearances, and openness over the armoring of their hearts.

Great distinction between life coaching and therapy made at this Obsession article:

1. There is no professional boundary between coach and client. Unlike therapists—who usually decline to disclose much about their personal lives to their clients—most coaches go for a relatable, empathetic, informal approach. Some also use sharing about their lives and struggles online as a marketing tool. Your vibe, they say, attracts your tribe.
2. They are future and goal-oriented. A life coach session generally doesn’t involve digging deep into your past to revisit childhood trauma. Instead, it’s more forward-looking: What can you do today, this week, this month to change your life for the better?
3. Serious mental health issues—such as depression, anxiety, trauma, self harm, or addiction—are (in theory) not for life coaches to deal with. Professional standards dictate that coaches should refer out when these arise. But is there anyone checking they do that? Definitely not.
