Cockroaches in my house in Virginia. OK, just 3. One a month for the last 3 months. But that’s enough! This isn’t Houston where I used to live and where people expect cockroaches in your house. The Terminex guy simply said, “These kind live under the bark in your trees out back. They’re not supposed to come into your house. They should be dormant right now.” He looked up at us, shrugged, and said, “The insects are confused.”
My Zen group has people from all over the world in it. We meet Saturday mornings to learn Zen and bring our world to our practice and our practice to our world. The last one was February 1st. My friends report:
- It’s 119F in Sydney today.
- There are crocuses and green grass in my front yard…in Montana…on February 1st.
- The temperatures change so fast in Salt Lake City that one step can be on hard ground and the next in mud.
From Hieroglyphic Staircase:
surely you did something
when the seasons started failing?
The insects are confused.

I believe that Agile is a brilliant, emergent response to help us thrive in our ever-increasingly complex, changeable and interconnected world. My current focus is coaching Leadership Teams to take up the Agile transformation that is theirs to do -- on both a personal and group level. For many years I have been a passionate contributor to the discipline and profession of Agile Coaching and have trained many thousands of agilists in the knowledge, skills, and mindsets needed to coach teams and organizations to get full benefits of Agile. In 2010, I authored Coaching Agile Teams which has sold 75,000+ and been translated into 10 languages.
