We all have something to teach and something to learn. This reciprocity has been a theme for me, and somewhat of a mantra in my ongoing professional development - it is possible to both contribute and learn simultaneously, and using coaching skills has become my way of showing up. To me, this mindset equates to being an empathetic and life-long learner.

Almost every day there’s at least one thing that I get annoyed about. It can be something like being stuck in traffic, losing battery on my smart phone, a slow internet connection, or not finding a key ingredient for a recipe (like bamboo shoots) in the local store. Ring a bell?
