“Life centering moments concern formative experiences that fashion a template of perception and response that is then active throughout a person’s life. Identifying these moments to explore and crystallize their centering quality is a powerful coaching and self-discovery tool…. In this article the author describes the theory and application of life centering stories and offers personal coaching experiences that validate this process as a leadership development tool. Life centering stories can be customized to be used in leadership effectiveness retreats, vision quests, team building and personal development workshops as well as in one on one executive coaching.”

The AMA Trainers’ Activity Book – From You I Have Learned

“The idea of From You I Have Learned was stimulated in me at the age of 17 (many years ago) when I read “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius. Towards the end of his life Marcus Aurelius, a ruler of the Roman Empire and a philosopher, wrote “Debts and Lessons” – reflections about the people he had met and the learning he experienced with them. The idea captured my imagination. Here was a way, I thought, to live an enlightened life. I decided that instead of waiting for the end of my life to summarize the learning and value of my interactions with people, I could begin now.”
