Quote of the Week

The Mind

'One's own thought is one's world. What a person thinks is what he becomes - That is the eternal mystery.'  Maitri Upanishad

Aha Reflection

'Look within yourself, for all the answers lie within you'

I do not know the sayer of this quote even though I sense I have seen this in many places. It is also sitting as a plaque on a park bench on the English Bay Seawall facing the lovely ocean. Go find it and sit their and contemplate as you look out in the Bay.  HMMM.

The Prophet

'Madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,'  Albert Einstein
Do you do this?  Just think about it.  I can own up to the fact that I have come to realize I do sometimes.  Not to stop it and look for new opportunities out of the same old. :)))

'Work is Love made Visible', Kahil Gibran, The Prophet

I am just rereading this classic, The Prophet, how beautiful it is. A delightful look at the true essence of life.

Testimonials

‘It has been my experience that communication within a creative group of individuals can be a stressful, ego centered and emotionally draining event. Kevin has the ability to tame the frustrated ego and make every member of the team feel empowered to rise above personal limitations to a common goal.‘  
Simone Alexander, Choreographer, Denver, Colorado

‘As a facilitator you strive to try on different techniques and are more than wiling to learn from others. You see partnership always as an opportunity, never as a competition. You almost never say no but rather remain open minded to techniques and approaches all the while bringing many other creative ideas. You like to start with the big picture in mind and that makes you stronger I think in the end, cause while you go deep, you never seem to lose the bigger picture.‘  
Janet Logan, Facilitator/Coach, Toronto, Canada

‘Professionalism. Your presentations combine business imperatives with life balance. Great creativity in the use of adult learning techniques (not a one way communication, interaction is always there).’
Didier Scalliet, MPI Europe, VP of Global Development, Luxembourg

Deals with everyone on a personal level and encourages people to exceed their boundaries. The sky is the limit. Never settles for less, Demanding of himself and others, Sincere, Humane, Always helpful, Compliments hard work, Open to discussion, Gentle.’
