Attended Scix's Improv for Non Actors. Small group, but enough to pull off the workshop.

It was a great first start for Scix. It has been awhile since he put this workshop on.

I learned that I'm not the stick I keep saying I am. This is good news for my Rocky Cast!

Now I'm off to fry other fish. It's going to be a busy day!

In the SELP, we have a practice called the Interview. There are two main purposes to interviews. One is to change the relationship between the one being interviewed and the interviewer. The other -- and more powerful reasons -- is to find out what your reputation is in a given community. How are you known in your groups.

We have another practice called a Future's Meeting. Each participant and the coaches have this meeting with the next person up the line from them. It is a time when one gets to brag about their lives. What has been accomplished and what plans for future have been created.

My Futures Meeting with my SELP leader was long and very powerful. As a head coach, I conduct Futures Meeting with my coaches.

I just finished one. It was great. Someone whose life was pretty damn good now sees her life as beyond expectations great.

I had something to do with that. Something significant. I contributed to her ability to access some unseen greatness in her.

I feel really, really good.

In both HAI and Landmark, I am privileged to hear some profoundly sad circumstances. These are not unusual circumstances, mind you. Just the ordinary things that happen to all of us in the course of a life time. A moments grief or pain followed by a period of time for suffering.

A parent, sibling or spouse dies and someone didn't have the opportunity to say good bye. Someone spent a misguided youth. Someone else has a fatal, but slow acting, disease. Someone just feels like the world is shitting on them personally.

What makes hearing these stories a privilege inside the confines of HAI or Landmark is that people are telling these stories with healing going on. They develop a different relationship to their circumstances.

A peace settles in around them and they become powerful and motivated. They are inspired to greatness.

It is watching them the moment they take control of their lives. They will never forget the Landmark Forum leader or the Level 1 HAI facilitator. And their lives will never be the same.

Tonight I was at the Landmark Center for a bit of the Advanced Course. I have a friend in that course. She is having a great course. Simply great.
