Books Supporting Change For summer reading consider the highly enjoyable, page turning mystery The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Brown has taken poetic license in writing this work of fiction weaving murder with concepts like the sacred feminine, the history of Christianity, hidden meaningful symbols in paintings, and the quest for the Holy Grail. This book is a very fun read that will leaving you wondering what, if anything, is true. For those who know something about these concepts and might want to criticize, just remember this is a murder mystery, not a documented work of non-fiction.

DeMille Personal Success Story With my newsletter this month I am, with excitement, including a link to an article called To Be or Not to Be…Coached: A Profile of Coach Irene Leonard that was published in the Washington State Bar News. I am delighted and thrilled by the article and the exposure. I hope it leads to many more lawyers choosing to work with me. (You can also download the article in PDF format.) The publication reaches every lawyer licensed to practice law in the State of Washington. What incredible exposure - if they read it, of course. So would you please pass the article on to someone who you think would be motivated by the article to work with me to help them improve some aspect of their professional development? Coaching Opportunity I have room for two clients who want help achieving their professional goals. Your referrals are appreciated!
