Greetings!  
          

In a few weeks, I will be launching a completely redesigned website that will introduce a full suite of coaching and consulting services, along with a crisp new company look and feel.

I've been working with a fantastic creative guru who's masterfully helped uncover what's at the core of my business and brought it to life with fully
refurbished S2K- brand packaging.

As we worked together and he came to understand my messaging, approach, and basic philosophies....I was reminded of a Native American legend that resonated deeply with me when I first heard it a few years ago.

 It speaks eloquently of perhaps the most challenging journey
 every leader takes sooner or later.

I hope you like it: 

 

An Old Sioux Legend

In ancient times, the Creator wanted to hide something from the humans until they were ready to see it.  He gathered all the other creatures of creation to ask for their advice.

The eagle said, 'Give it to me and I will take it to the highest mountain in all the land,' but the Creator said, 'No, one day they will conquer the mountain and find it."

The salmon said, 'Leave it with me and I will hide it at the very bottom of the ocean,' but the Creator said, 'No, for humans are explorers at heart and one day they will
go there, too.'

The buffalo said, "I will take it and bury it in the very heart of the great plains,' but the Creator said, 'No, for one day even the skin of the earth will be ripped open, and they will find it there.'

The creatures of creation were stumped, but then an old blind mole spoke up. 'Why don't you put it inside them - that's the very last place they'll look.'

The Creator said, 'it is done'.

   Thanks for sharing your second cup with me!
