It's extraordinary how many clients felt so nurtured, loved, improved, seen and heard by Esmond. I met him 3 years ago when my book on Deep Listening was merely an idea. Now about to be published by HC in US & UK. So much of what's in it, structure and ambition, is due to him, + he was such fun.

Malala at #skollwf ‘We are now helping Afghan girls to learn at home - we know this learning is a form of resistance. We need to call what the Taliban is doing what it is - gender apartheid. My dream - I want it to become a crime that a girl is banned from school’.

Illuminating #DeepListening to #Trump supporters at Inauguration Day in DC. I tried to listen without judgement, curious to understand. They were welcoming, wanting to be heard, had felt excluded, 'Trump is one of us. Shares our values'. Facts waived away as fake/ old news, or 'we are all sinners'.

You can see my slightly hesitant smile as I contemplate getting in. Only a small area of water was ice free - enough for a few small circles. The surrounding upper branches coated with white spider webs of frost. And yes. I swum with my hat. #coldwaterswimming #coldwater #hampsteadheath #winter

V. moved by British Council article by Libyan participant in my #DeepListening training. "What amazed me most was realizing it is so much more than just hearing words".
