One of the respondents to my repatriation survey described a discrepancy between feeling internally free in their home country where there&#8217;s little financial or personal security, and feeling internally at un-ease in a safe society with opportunities for personal growth.

I went to a chapter meeting of the local ICF group on Friday. While it wasn&#8217;t all of the networking opportunity I had hoped for, I learned a lot of interesting stuff about the brain and how its functions affect effective coaching relationships as well as life in general.

I had breakfast on the balcony today. I felt the sun&#8217;s still cool rays as they made an effort to dry the concrete, still wet from last night&#8217;s rain, morning dew, or possibly the sprinklers.

In any case, as I&#8217;m writing this post, I&#8217;m wearing many hats. That of entrepreneur, that of coach, that of expat, that of Doris &#8211; and I&#8217;m wondering how [...]]]></description>

While I&#8217;m away on holiday in the Black Forest in Germany to celebrate my friend&#8217;s wedding, I invite you to enjoy another post by Danielle LaPorte, her take on what we&#8217;re really doing.
