I am successfully incorporating and experimenting with the FEBI Leadership quadrants with  Anne Green Gilbert's BrainDance patterns by ensuring that through the 8 movement patterns of the BrainDance, I incorporate the driver movements of thrust, the organizer movements of shape, the visionary movements of hang, and the collaborator movements of swing, from Betsy Wetzig's research and processes that were shared with Ginny.    The anecdotal results are positive over a two-three day follow-up, while attending conferences with session participants.

My own biggest insight in working with my FEBI results is focused on the relationship of my patterns in my process.  I've worked on developing all four patterns over ... Read More

30,000 feet – er excuse me, 10,000 meters – over Germany at the moment, flying home from the European International Coaching Federation Conference in Geneva, Switzerland. Connecting Worlds was the theme of the conference, and I had the honor of being one of its keynote speakers.
