Not everything I do has to be brilliant. Not everything I do has to be successful. Not everything I do has to be done by me, done now, or done at all. And (total truth time): Not everything I do has to impress someone.

I spend a significant amount of time in my work life facilitating things. I facilitate workshops, I facilitate difficult conversations between colleagues, and I facilitate “learning about self” for my coaching clients. I also spend a lot of time in my family life facilitating, too: facilitating the morning rush to work and school; facilitating “who did what to whom” discussions between my twins; and currently facilitating the b’nai mitzvah (that’s two kids at once, folks!) planning process — with lots of Lamaze breathing throughout.
