We have much to learn.  No matter how far along life’s path I travel I am always reminded of my ignorance and incompetence.  It’s humbling and at the same time extremely nourishing. I find one of the juiciest aspects of my work is to find myself in the company of someone (or a group of people) who still has an appetite to learn, particularly if, like me, they are getting old and grizzled.  When this happens I often find a model helps people make sense of their experience and it’s then I usually reach for the learning ladder.
