As I listened to the discussion in this video clip, it quickly became apparent that a willingness to be vulnerable – to be completely open and honest in their relationship is exactly what should exist between a business owner and their business mentor. The personal dynamic and emotions that you described have parallels to those often found within a business relationship. Trust is vitally important in both personal and business relationships. Risk being vulnerable within a supportive relationship that is built on a foundation of well-placed trust. The rewards can be more than worth taking a risk.

I am considering entry to another level of politics in the future and engaging myself accordingly to see where the next direction may be. The election of our Premier and our local constituency may unfold. Carefully considering my options. Thanks Again I am taking my dad fishing at Port Renfrew B.C. next week. Going with my father in law, brother in laws and their dads. I will call you the week of June 27th to start coaching. Trying to get things under control at home and on the farm the next few days.

As a kayaker I love the paddle metaphor and the humorous image of one person back paddling and the other powering on. Joanne and I try to get our for a walk in the beauty of the North Saskatchewan River valley each day. We don't talk about business or presentations. We hold hands and are together in the moment (or try to be). Thanks for this reminder about back padding or slowing down. That's when you see the neatest things around you and each other. How true.

Yes, the transitional game is bang on for couples. Just like in hockey, a couple is many times, daily, moving through that transitional zone - shifting, moving forward, pausing, circling? Yet if they have the vision, game plan, and team-strategies, they can stick handle past anything and it is powerplay after powerplay to long-term wins and mastery. And each win takes them to a new level of excellence - it doesn't end. Thanks. I appreciate you for this and yes, it can and will be another video, either for an ezine or for the videobook we're working on. Dan Hi Robert,

I use a most similar analogy in my career planning process with clients. So, let me give you with one other analogy to the game of hockey. And maybe, just maybe you will do a video on this!! Success in the game of hockey, as in the game of life totally requires a great "transitional game." As players move from their end of the ice to their opponents end of the ice, and skate between both blue lines, this is called "the transitional game." Teams that have an amazing strategy to move forward from where they are at one end of the ice to the other end of the ice, are most effect in their transitional games. The couple that you help also need have an awesome transitional game...the ability to move their relationships from the place that they are, to the place that they need to get to. Does this make sense Carol and Dan? Robert Manolson Great analogy to the game of hockey. I use a most similar analogy in my career planning process with clients.
