My declaration to Mandy

In the fall of 2010, I got a chance to get to know Mandy in the kitchen at our co-work space. Mandy is a neuroscientist, life coach, yoga instructor…ultimate frisbee player. Mandy and I started a conversation about design thinking, I remember leaving the conversation with a great sense of inspiration and delight, Mandy and I began a relationship towards working together on a collaborative project. When I did a 360 evaluation of myself and sent it to Mandy, she wrote that this would be interesting to evaluate again in 6 months as we had just met a month or so before this time. Now, it has been about 6 months since then and I am so surprised as to where our relationship has flourished to.

I have learned so much from my time with Mandy and part of that learning is knowing that I am responsible for my own progress, but at the same time I want to declare to Mandy my commitment to her and as I develop through my life coaching process.Design thinking me came from the idea of how can I learn about myself and I don’t know how I thought I could figure it out in 4 months. So, this blog is a commitment to continuing to figure it all out and I owe it to Mandy for getting me started so this is my declaration:

Mandy! Whenever I think of my strengths and weaknesses and stop to think about how can I remember this feeling and learn to be more mindful, I think of you! Thank you for helping me grow.
