Re: Re: Introductions

Dale,
Thank you for ordering my book.  I'd love to know what you think of it after you've read it.

I may have told you about the jazz guitar at Change Shop. I'm a big fan of Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons. I haven't played in a long time.  

Regarding resistance, I recall something you said once. I don't remember where, maybe PSL or Leaders' Forum.  But it stuck with me and I have quoted you (with proper credit) on several occasions. You said something like, "People don't fear change so much as they fear loss."  I think the fear of loss is a key aspect if not the heart of resistance.  If this is true, and I believe it is, one way resistance could be a resource is to alert us to perceived losses.  If we explore the perceptions we may find there are some things we definitely don't want to lose (during a change process.)

Wayne.

  I didn't know you were budding.  Seemed to me as if you were in 
  full bloom!  That was certainly a transforming occasion for me.

  I've finally ordered it.

  If I remember right, once upon a time you listed "playing jazz 
  guitar" as one of your interests.  Am I remembering right?  I've 
  been toying with jazz guitar for a few years, and I'm finding 
  that jazz guitar is a very different beast than rock and roll guitar.
