The Kind Lab for Coaches is back this September.

Nina Simonds and I are getting into what kindness actually means for coaching, and why people mix it up with niceness so often.

Join us to build coaching skills that support your coachees the way they actually need.

See you next month. Details here: https://jeffjacobsoncoaching.notion.site/thekindlab

Ever wonder how the Coaches' BBQ began? It started as a protest, and grew into something a lot warmer (and this year...a little spooky 👻 ). Watch for the full story, then come join us.

Hey friends 👋 Starting next month, Nina Simonds and I are running The Kind Lab for Coaches again.

Five sessions, one for each of the Kindness Pathways: Honesty, Clarity, Vulnerability, Sweetness, and Playfulness. It's a chance to come together and work with the Kind model, so you walk away more grounded, clearer on your boundaries, and better able to help your coachees find real movement and change. Feels especially needed right now.

It's fun, it's engaging, and it's real work on real skills.

Every Saturday we're up at the intersection with our signs: No Kings! Voter registration! Immigration rights!

For a long time I wondered if it was making any difference. My friend Shannon helped me see it, and I wrote about how in this week's newsletter.

Tell me a story of your own: something you did expecting one kind of benefit, and instead you got a completely different one.

It wasn't even close 🏁 😆

The World Cup was so fun to watch, but the best part wasn't the games. It was all the international exchange that happened between the nations. So many people arriving, discovering, connecting. 🌎️ 💙

There’s something about people from different places getting to know each other, without any agenda, just genuine curiosity, that’s done my heart a lot of good lately.

Did you watch? What’s something you enjoyed that reached beyond the game? ⚽️

Good friends, good stories. Here's a fun one about when you should trust the little voices over what the masses are telling you.

She was right, by the way. The bravest, most honest person in the building that day was six years old.

It's never too early to start getting spooky! 🦇

Mark your calendars, coaches. The Coaches' BBQ is coming back October 23rd.

It's free, full day online (all time zones welcome), come-and-go as you please, drop into sessions, or just find a breakout room and make some new friends. 👻

Grab your virtual trick or treat bag, we're conjuring up some good conversations this year. 🎃

Registration is open now. Link in comments to grab your spot!

Plot twist: I already know who did it. 🔪

The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino isn't your usual whodunit. You find out who the killer is almost right away. The real mystery is whether they'll get away with it. One camp is hiding the truth, the other is trying to crack it, and the whole thing keeps circling back to one question that's stuck with me: Is it easier to solve a problem yourself, or to prove that someone else's answer is wrong?

Do you save books you want to read on GoodReads, or on Fable? Or somewhere else? 📚️
