It is difficult and very rewarding work, and we are passionate about doing the best work with our clients. Part of the challenge is that the process is similar to visits to a doctor. We go to see a doctor because we are experiencing symptoms that are causing us discomfort and dis‑ease.
We have learned some ways to address such challenges.

Quotable Quotes
"In responsibility the first question is what is going on? The second is what shall I do?"
- Reinhold Neibuhr, The Responsible Self
"Knowledge is power and self-knowledge is empowering. Leaders who are self-aware are better able to understand the feelings, concerns, and perceptions of others. They not only demonstrate empathy but use it to build relationships and cultures of trust."
- Katherine Tyler Scott, "Leading In Times of Change"
"Every culture finds its charter - its rules and identity - in the story it tells of its beginnings."
- Bruno Bettelheim
"We have a duty to nourish those qualities within ourselves that make us free and morally responsible beings. And we have an equally compelling duty to honor values beyond the self."
- John Gardner, 1993
"We must combat those aspects of modern society that threaten the individual's integrity as a free and morally responsible being. But at the same time we must help the individual to re-establish a meaningful relationship with a larger context of purposes."
- John Gardner, 1994
"Leadership at its core is more about vocation than visibility."
- Katherine Tyler Scott, from speech delivered to Regional YMCA Conference
