The Arc of Life. Frontiers Friday #179 ⭕️
Where are you in this Arc of Life?
The Arc of Life
This week, a cross-post from my other Substack,
This one is called The Arc of Life.
You might find this concept useful in your clinical practice. For instance, where is your client in The Arc of Life?
Have they neglected a full exploration of their Freedom?
Are they stuck in the territory of Freedom?
Are they experiencing burnout from the multitude of responsibilities that they are bearing?
Are they consciously or unconsciously evading and bypassing Responsibility?
Are they opening themselves to the call to Adventure?
To learn more about this, check out this Full Circles post.
Notice Board:
2nd Fireside chat on 26th of Mar, Tues:
Scott Miller and I held our first virtual fireside last tuesday. What a treat to have people bounce off the conversation, thinking aloud and exploring ideas. We talked about the possibilities and limitations of deliberate practice (DP), the role of the coach, the unintended consequences of incentivising DP, the role of motivation, and what it means to be a witness to each other.
Our monthly fireside is a free, “no expectations, no agenda” monthly live zoom meeting. Just an opportunity to explore deliberate practice, feedback-informed treatment, and professional development together with other like-minded professionals.
Cost: Free
When: 8am Central Time on the last Tuesday of every month. Second meeting to be held on 26th of Mar, 2024.
Space is limited (all 100 seats were taken up within a few days, so register early, and kindly make sure you block your calendar to attend this).
