MONOGRAPHS

This section contains a collection of monographs intended as a vehicle to share with others what the 100,000+ people with whom I have worked have helped me learn. It is they who were the teachers and I who was the learner, for which I shall be eternally grateful.

This collection contains a series of stand-alone monographs, portions of which have appeared in other publications (see bibliography). Thus, there is some redundancy in parts of the monographs for which I apologize. It is my hope that others can learn from my experience. I encourage feedback and dialogue so that I can continue my life-long learning journey.

Work is currently underway to consolidate these monographs into a book, working title EXPERIENCE LESSONS. Target date for publication is late 2004 or early 2005.
