Unbelievable coaching session :-)

The most extraordinary coaching session I’ve ever seen…
Please don’t tell me anymore that “Why?” is not a good coaching question. :-)))))

papa, can we play outside? – no.
why? because it’s 5:00 in the morning.
it’s too early.
why? the sun hasn’t come up yet.
why? because the sun comes up later.
why? well, the earth goes around, and when it turns a certn amount, the sun shows on the horizon.
why? i don’t know.
why? why don’t you know, papa? because i didn’t pay attention in school, okay? i didn’t listen in class.
why? because i was high all the time.
i smoked too much pot.
why? i didn’t think it would matter.
why? i just figured my life would come together on its own.
but then i met your mom, and you came along.
so now i work at the muffler shop.
why? well, it’s too late for me to pursue a career now, and since your mom has a job with benefits i stay home and i take care of you, ’cause what i make is pretty much just a joke.
why? well, the service economy replaced manufacturing and here’s no real jobs in america anymore.
why? we had good jobs for a while, but it’s just ’cause we were lucky and now we’re unlucky.
why? it’s just the way it goes.
why? ’cause god is dead and we’re alone.
okay.

Training vs Education

“To be prepared against surprise is to be trained. To be prepared for surprise is to be educated.”

You are mere cogs in a machine

Krishnamurti

“Religion, politics, society are exploiting you, and you are being conditioned by them; you are being forced in a particular direction. You are not human beings; you are mere cogs in a machine. You suffer patiently, submitting to the cruelties of environment, when you, individually, have the possibilities of changing them.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti

Ten years anniversary of Beslan attack

I remember these days of ten years ago with absolute clarity.
At that time, my kids was 3, 7 and 8 yo, and they all went to school in Bucharest.
I remember how I empathized with parents there; I remember how, for the first two days, I could’t stop to visualize myself powerless staying with no information outside of a school with my children inside, with no water or food, in the hands of some armed terrorists.
I remember me crying by fury, just wondering what kind of fucking bastard you have to be, to torture in this way some children for your fucking political reasons. Then, there was the final attack.
No words. Really no words.
Just a prayer. For the kids and for the parents, sure, but also for the terrorists.
If there is a God, they need a prayer more than anyone else.

What is leadership?

“Leadership means to create order from chaos. It means to take different resources, people, events that act independently and with different goals and to give them a common vision and a common direction.” – Bruno Medicina

How about to plan a jail break?

“On a planet that increasingly resembles one huge Maximum Security prison, the only intelligent choice is to plan a jail break.” – Robert Anton Wilson

Jail

Occasional moments of lucidity

I’ll give a reading to the full Christopher Hyatt’s book, that seems to me really stimulating.
In the meanwhile, the introduction by Robert Anton Wilson is an unmissable eyes opener
