My private clients include the CEO of Turkey’s largest natural-gas company and a Senior HR Director at Yale.

Working out what was happening in oil fields deep underground from a few indirect measurements.
Studying something seemingly more complicated: how people change. Three of those years teaching at a coaching school, around thirty coaches a week.
The habit that runs through all three: asking what a system is doing, and what would have to be true for it to behave that way. It’s the habit I bring to a stubborn pattern.
How long a pattern has run doesn’t tell you how long change takes.
The time change takes follows the time needed to learn the new thing, not how long it’s been around.
