Belief in your capabilities, support of your strengths, providing opportunities for learning through experience (rather than the primary use of directive teaching), and respect for your individual process is my guiding philosophy. Use of questioning to initiate the same question-asking in others while discovering new perspectives and possibilities is one objective. You really do have your own answers! Quite often, it takes a particular question, conversation, situation, and level of awareness to get to that answer. That’s where a skilled guide can assist you.

If, after participating in whatever opportunities you choose to engage in, and going through the next 4 steps of the above process, you have awareness and practice in examining, questioning, evaluating, your outcomes, and providing your own ongoing learning experiences (while finding humor, wonder, and fun along the way!), congratulations! You are growing playfully.
