    Transformation For Professionals

    We explore the transformational growth possible often with a paradigm shift but at a minimum through self-awareness sufficient to execute lasting professional growth.  Specifically, the individual aims for transformation to a higher state of performance in a profession.  This often requires understanding many aspects including the necessary mindset, our self-identity, tricks and tools of the profession, the spirit underlying our code of conduct and residual effects to our personality that impact one (often emotionally or subconsciously) at the end of the day.

    How does a model for categorizing and understanding the world feed our self-identity?  Does it empower us to understand ourselves and the larger world as a whole?  Or does it create limitations and takeaway tools to meet future challenges?  Does our response and inherent choices indicate our overall openness or conversely, resistance to growth?  We explore this aspect of chess in the larger world of leadership.

    Avoiding The Fight

    Inspiration!  In chess, we have a key concept: "One cannot avoid the fight."  How do we rise up to meet the challenge and burden of a fight, whether metaphorical on a chessboard or real in practical problems?  One can start by understanding the essence of the fight and grow to understand how we respond as a warrior or competitor.
