		<description><![CDATA[Click and Clack are masters of matching the language and knowledge level of their callers.  

And it is this quality that makes them successful.  Because there are lots of people very knowledgeable about fixing cars.  There are lots of very funny and playful people.  

But, there are not many people who excel at being able to be empathetic, listen, and then match their explanations/interactions to the capability level of the other person.  

It is a massively valuable skill and will help you be successful in just about anything you do in life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Their action stops being soft and hopeful, and becomes direct, assertive, and fierce.

Their spirit engages. They realize that they have to fight for something they care about - in this case, their life.  And what it takes to have their life is being direct, assertive, and fierce. 

It is a moment where they stop living in a considered way.  It is a transition away from being soft, indecisive, and soft/nice. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I am on a ropes course with teens, I often ask, "how do you want to play this game?"  Do you want to get through this or do you want to dig deep, engage your creativity, your honesty, your integrity, and learn what excellence feels like?

Almost always they respond, with, lets go for it.

How do we want to play the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico game?  Easy or honest &#038; with integrity?

We here in the USA use the same amount of oil that spilled into the Gulf of Mexico every...are you ready for this?...every 2 hours and 41 minutes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happiness is about approaching life and events in the way that makes you feel satisfied.  It is about matching what you want with what you are creating.  It is a deeper feeling. 

It is knowing that you are being a positive force.  It is knowing that you are doing the best you can with the resources that you have available to you.  It is about living with integrity with your values and your actions.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That oil spilling into the ocean is happening because of my lifestyle - our lifestyle.  I drive around because it's convenient and a habit.  I keep consuming.  It is a hard pill for me to swallow, thinking that the pelican is covered in oil so I can be comfortable...it just feels like a lot of suffering on my/our behalf.

A bird caught in the oil. Unpleasant.
    A bird caught in the oil. Unpleasant.

My challenge for myself today is to keep Playing Above the Line, despite my anger, frustration, sadness, and the temptation to lay blame.  I will take responsibility for my part and work today to do something that decreases my impact.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Without these images, feelings, pictures, and experiences, it is hard to feel hopeful about the future.  So, this is the foundational work that I do in my coaching…figuring out how to get people these experiences (or build on the ones they already have).  

Once these images, feelings, pictures, and experiences are in place, we can begin the work of figuring out how to take that foundation and build a life on top of it.  

One reason that I think SuperCamp, RLT, da Vinci dance, and what happened in my wife’s classroom is so absolutely profound and important, is because these kinds of experiences are so rare today.  

Again, most of our young people never experience this feeling.  They never get to imagine or experience what it feels like to be Whole.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Teaching someone is so, so much more than transferring the information in your head to someone else's head. Listening to understand and watching to understand will provide you lots of information if you are paying attention.  It will provide you the exact information about what information or practice they need next.  

This is a skill that we can learn.  (Hint: To learn it, we have to get our self out of the way).  ]]></description>

The other day, the class had time to go visit the neighborhood, but the teachers were worried about so many people being in such a small place, so they suggested dividing the class up.  The kids objected.  They only wanted to go with everyone.]]></description>
