I blog, randomly about the things I observe and the things I learn.
There is a blog around my new learning adventure on my yacht, called Wright Away, or find a category and explore.

Leading, Language and Mindfulness
One of the principles behind our internal Agile/ Servant Leadership program is balancing advocation with inquiry. As the three days progress it becomes clear that people don’t have clarity around what advocation is – yes it is telling and instructing, but there is a more subtle form, where you speak in statements. When you speak in a statement you declare something to be true and that opens the door for disagreement as it often clashes with someone else’s point of view.

The Fire of Living from Deep Truth [Spiritual Tourist Ramblings]
Two more stories from Tibet in Exile, stories that sent told much in my world. They revolve around the Chinese occupation of Tibet and the human rights atrocities being undertaken with ease.

Here is hoping I can do these monks justice and find words that can hold the experience. I listen to the monk talk about escaping Tibet and the atrocities that the Chinese performed on them- the torture when as a monk he [...]

The question was asked around creation and how Budhists see creation if they don’t have an external God like figure. The Deisha [...]

Leadership Being… from stress to stillness
How you show up matters! Leaders show up differently, there is a stillness to their presence that something as simple as intentional resting can generate. Imagine living from a place of influence, from stillnesss...what could open up for you ?
So, Just You ? On Your Own ?
So, Just You ? On your own ? Awkward pause with confused look....Where is your Husband ? These were the constant questions as I talked about and then did my second solo 4by trip into the Okavango. The shock was mostly universal (except for a handful of people who know [...]

Daring to Find Your Extraordinary Self
One of the fundamental characteristics of extraordinary people is the fact that they know, without doubt that they are valuable and they live that uniqueness and value every day - bringing it into what they do even if what they do isn’t there dream or even something they value. So [...]
Why you need to be Meditating (The Science Talks)
I have been on this journey to create who I am for over a decade and consistently through that has been the word meditation. I started with Transcendental Meditation or TM (which is now quite notorious for not being as advertised but worked for me and got my mind to [...]
