How
Educare and Educere - to "train in" and "lead out". We train in mastering our instrument and pay it forward through leadership.
Experiment - a willingness to experiment, to fail and try again, and welcome a little creative mess.
Experience - the value of the shared experience of our common humanity.
Exploring - we explore the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of Music, Wellness, and Leadership.
Through Education, Experience, and a willingness to Experiment, we release and allow our creative intuition to guide us to a sense of safety, meaning, belonging, voice and choice.
MWL coaching is an investment in humane leadership, in your roles and relationships.
