Words for Wise Living

_________________________________________________

In thinking about writing this blog, I have been reading a variety of blogs related to leadership, coaching, happiness, personality, personal mission and vision.  Needless to say, there is a lot of great stuff out there.  Before I jump into the tools that are available to those that want to dive deeper into personal development work, I want to share a few links to some sites I have been surfing recently.

Tara Sophia Mohr is a coach, writer and teacher. Tara brings a unique background to the personal growth field. Tara’s blog on personal development can be found at www.wiselivingblog.com. Tara’s writing has been featured in numerous publications, including USA Today, Forbes, Ode Magazine, the International Business Times, The Change Blog, GoodlifeZen, Wisebrain.org.

Seth Godin has written thirteen books that have been translated into more than thirty languages. Every one has been a bestseller. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything.

Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic "nature's operating instructions" to serve human ends without harming the web of life. Nature's principles—kinship, cooperation, diversity, symbiosis and cycles of continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for organizing an equitable, compassionate and democratic society.

And lucky me, even a few faculty from Bainbridge Graduate Institute:

Simon Goland has a decade of experience in information technology (development, analysis and consultancy) and over 15 years of experience in personal and professional coaching, creativity and innovation, leadership development, and organizational learning strategies. Simon was featured in Jaime Kowal’s book Waking Up the West Coast: Healers and Visionaries and is due to complete his Eco-Psychology Ph.D. in 2011 at the Institute of Global Education.

Lisa Capa is an educator, leadership coach and researcher. She inspires others to be grounded, centered and aware in order to discover and make meaning. Her background combines a working knowledge of the business world and the skills for leading a very functional life with a unique knowledge of attention and an immersion in creativity. These life experiences infuse my one-on-one attention coaching practice with passion and power.
