Host a Session is open! 🎃

Wanna grab some friends and conjure up a conversation on coaching and social justice? Go for it. How about the future of coaching? Accreditations? Burnout? Whatever topics you most care about, bring 'em. Wanna facilitate a workshop? There is space for that too. Interested in some social time with like--and differently--minded people? Some good debates about the industry and the profession? We're here for it.

It's free, full day online (all time zones welcome), come-and-go as you please, drop into sessions, or just find a breakout room and make some new friends. 👻

Also, this is our last BBQ. Something new is coming, we just can’t see what it looks like yet. But we’d love to have you join us for one final backyard haunt. The past five years have been such a treat, and we’d love to spend this one with you. 🍭

I believe these ideas are worth discussing, exploring, and digging out if we want any hope for change. There are many angles to tackle the subject so that these kinds of horrible events don't continue, and this is the angle I keep coming back to. As men, we have to look and own every perspective, theory, and motive that keeps allowing, excusing, and justifying these acts of violence.

It's been a couple of weeks since I first learned of what happened at Cornell in October 2024. And here's one thing I can't stop thinking about...

I've listened to and read so many thoughts and responses on the subject. I wanted to sit with it, to give it the space it deserves, the space every victim deserves for their story to impact those who hear it.

Not only is it possible to enjoy the whimsical parts of life while also being aware of what's going on in the world, it's actually ideal. Sometimes we can be tempted to feel bad about one while participating in the other. But that's what allows both to coexist. Whimsy feeds the desire for change, and awareness shows us where that change is needed.

Be intentional. Give yourself breaks when you need to. Be kind to yourself and others while they do the same.

Hey friends 👋 Our dear friend Cai from Hive Leadership Coaching & Consulting joined us last season for The Kind Labs, and I think he summarized the experience so sweetly!

Kindness looks different depending on what your coachee needs. In October, we're moving into Sweetness, the pathway that asks you to hold your coachees with warmth even when the work is hard.

Have you signed up for the next Lab yet? We'd love to have you join us.

🗓️ This Wednesday, October 7
🕓️ 4-6pm PT / 7-9pm ET

Mark your calendars, coaches. The Kind Lab season two is officially underway, and this is no trick.

We're kicking off October with the Kindness Pathway of Sweetness. No candy required, just the kind that actually sticks with your coachees long after the session ends.

We're just getting started, and there's still plenty of time to join us!

Ever worry that being honest means you have to be harsh?

In this clip, Dolly Parton gives an honest answer when asked for advice. She knew what she wanted to say and delivered it with clarity, vulnerability, sweetness, and a little playfulness.

That's honesty done right. She didn't soften the truth, she just let herself be a little embarrassed about it too. She took the risk, then stood in it with the room instead of from a distance.

This is how the Pathways of Kindness work together.

In The Kind Lab, we cover these five pathways: honesty, sweetness, clarity, playfulness, vulnerability. We'd love to see you at the next one.

Fall's the season that shows up and starts letting go. Leaves, light, warmth. None of it fights the process. It just slows down, goes inward, and doesn't apologize for it.

I love that about this time of year. The seasons shifting, quieting, dying off. It's nature saying the thing we don't like to say. This life is temporary. Mine included. Autumn's entrance is just the yearly reminder to be open to that. Maybe even embrace it.

Happy first day of fall.
