This week started a little differently than most. First my wife and I had just attended a virtual business conference all weekend. We were excited, exhausted and ready to take massive action in our business. Monday morning conference hangover… so many things to take action on, she still...

This morning I had a huge revelation about my practice as a business coach. I came to coaching after twenty years of church ministry. In my work as a missionary and pastor, we sought to help people in their struggles and challenges in life. We called it leaning into the mess.
