August Sip Session | With Dave Fearon

The person framed in our Zoom screen tonight is the subject of this SIP conversation, also your ultimate subject. YOU. The person whom you are practicing to be so far.

Dave Fearon, Professor Emeritus of Management & Organization, is our Practice Coach.

He appreciates: “Your conscious ability fairly consistently to produce intended results; doing so across a range of circumstances; and to do so while changing and growing yourself to meet the changing circumstances in which your Practice exists.”

This originative way of thinking about Practice underlies transformative results David and the late Peter Vaill achieved while creating The Practice? Podcast and new-form digital book, On Practice as a Way of Being: Peter Vaill’s Conjectures on Why Your Practice Matters.

Tonight, we explore why it does matter. Hint: It makes you … YOU.

Join us for this August 17 Sip Session. Reminder: Bring an open mind and an open heart. And have a beverage on-hand to enjoy a virtual toast!
