The phrase, Chapter 9, will stay with me forever. I say it to myself when writing, when planning a workshop, and even before I get on stage to give a big lecture. It reminds me that there is always a way — if I’m as much of an expert as I think I am — to forge a path for anyone to follow into a subject or skill. If I can’t make that path, I don’t understand my topic as much as my ego thinks I do.
