I always enjoy my drives to the Worcester Area. Such a treat. Beautiful wine lands, majestic mountains, nature at its very best! LOVE IT!

The inmate coach team was waiting for me at 9am sharp, ready for our bi-weekly session. We are busy with our PBP workshop (personal balanced profile). The PBP is one of our key tools in THE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL. Each tool is not just learned in theory. It is essential that we practise the tool in our own personal journey, that we deepen ourselves in all aspect of it, make it our own to truly understand the learning and gifting it comes with.
Today we dived deeper into the Responsibility Area: Social Responsibility. Bradley, Brian, Lumkile, Thembalethu and Malixole are busy re-writing (updating) their PBP: Vision, Focus Areas, Actions and Improvement. We use affirmations. Each word can be a door to transformation, allowing us to revisit areas that still has not been attended to, to heal, to release, to transform and to set free. We practise to look out for these doors (identify them, take ownership of them and open them to explore in depth the gift they bring to us).
Even if a PBP has been finalized 6-12 months ago time does not stop. Neither does our processes. Change occurs all the time. This is why it is important to revisit and even re-do the PBP a couple of times a year. At times it can be fruitful to start with a blank page and see where it takes you.
The PBP can be seen as a screenshot of your life in this very moment. This is what you visualize and add into the NOW - this is how you live your purpose today. Each day adds new ingredients and further possibilities.
JUVENILES
At 1pm I was in session with Franklin (inmate coach student) and four of the juveniles who are attending Part 2 of THE RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL. Next week Msondezi will be transferred to Pollsmoor and June 14th he will be released. He lives in Nyanga and will upon release be able to attend our workshops Fridays and Saturdays, continuing his journey of change and responsibility.
I am deeply grateful for this journey. Change occurs right in front of me every single day. And I am right there in the middle of it. Very humbling!
In Gratitude
