What have you learnt from not doing what you said you were going to do?” • Hard • “You told me you were committed to taking action. What happened?” • “I get the feeling you are not taking this coaching seriously. Maybe we should end our assignment now?”

  18. Balancing the Energies “T’ai chi is the expression of a human being in search of harmony with themselves and the duality of our world. It shows the way to equilibrium and balance amidst a world of contradictions. We live through the harmony of breathing in and out, constantly flowing within the stream of opposites. Knowledge is then brought forth as a living expression of The Dao”
