Teachers, guides, mentors, and coaches appear in many forms and often when least expected.
Many times you never meet them but read their words, listen to an audio or see a video. Or perhaps meet one of their students who introduces you to their work.
I have listened to many teachers over the years and heard absolutely nothing that they said. In one ear and out the other. I wasn’t ready to hear what they had to say or teach me. But years later something will lead me to them and I am ready.
Here are some of the Teachers, Guides, Mentors, and Coaches that have influenced my life.
