That's a great idea - learning to lead or manage in a low stress situation. Despite being decades in the corporate world (though admittedly punctuated with many long breaks) and a large part of it being independent external consultant, I am also the one who you can call on to do the work and fast. I've recently mused about taking on more meaningful roles like guiding or leading so your story here sparked an idea, maybe I can create my own low-stress group to lead? Let's see.. :)

this makes me think that managers don’t start out as managers, but they learn with one small step at a time. excited for your managerial pursuits ahead!

I'm less excited about all the mistakes I will make - which will be a lot!

I was going through your art book again and noticing in the introduction where you talk about remembering the scene where and when you created each of your paintings. I'm so excited to hear the detail of these art creation stories that you're capturing for the new ebook.

I'm so excited too! This will jog a lot of my memory but be a GREAT place to collect all these things.
