Summer's a simmerin'
Fall's soon a fallin'
I'm a wonderin' ...
How you are'n...?

As images from the wake of Hurricane Katrina flood in... my mind is boggled and my heart is pulled. What can I do?

Today we watch survivors on rooftops, alive, but their way of life has been destroyed. Their livelihood has been washed away; their liveliness reduced to mere survival. But they live to tell the tale: they survived, and they will have stories to share.

Seems both corny and true: The Hurricane is a metaphor - Energy, like life, unleashed both predictable and shocking in surprises.

What energy releases have you experienced since our last visit?

As a life and business coach, when I have the good fortune to be on higher and drier ground, I am moved to offer clients shelter from their "storms" through listening to their stories and offering compassion and clear feedback designed to create a positive momentum, good feelings and material results.

We all have stories to tell and my life purpose brings me to listen. For it is in the listening that we are heard and we all learn together.

This September and October the Collaboratives will gather, listen and learn while we draw from the the book Stories of the Spirit, Stories of the Heart (Harper Collins).

We will be donating all of the proceeds from these meetings to Hurricane Katrina disaster relief.

Come join us for evenings of inspiration and your very own forum for feedback in the best ways to tell stories for business and/or personal growth.

To coaches and those who seek coaching - if you can't make it give us a call or write to us and let us hear your stories. Also check out the rest of the website to find out Where in the World is Rob Kanzer (find me and the coffee (or lunch) is my treat).
