It is holiday season at the moment and I am on a road trip with my family. A great time to stop and unwind, or so I would have thought. Instead we planned a full itinerary where I could show and tell my young children what I value about New Zealand. This started off OK - for about five minutes - and went downhill in spectacular fashion.

I stewed for three days.

Then I realised that all I need to do is open the door to these new experiences, providing guidance where needed, to watch the joy and learning unfold.

Although I am still learning - This is the true art of facilitation and from where I find my deepest satisfaction.
