This walking and talking is a method of 'loosening our best thinking' and harkens back to Ancient Greece--its method is over 2500 years old."* Manlowe finds:  "Most people rarely feel heard and even more people never hear themselves or their unique 'calling' to the work they are here to do in the world."  "Walking and Talking" is Jennifer's favorite way to hear her clients' stories. After beginning to walk in the park, clients say "I feel relaxed and more able to communicate, it's not like therapy, I don't feel stared 'at' or as stuck as I do when I'm alone just thinking and worrying about what's next for me on this journey called life." Manlowe goes onto say, "This kind of companionship -- a working partnership, really -- is what I delight in providing my clients and this action of walking and talking, openly and honestly, is what they tell me gives them a new kind of momentum."

Manlowe claims both her clients and she, herself, have known the awkwardness of being between jobs, "At some time in all of our lives, we feel in-between worlds -- moving from the familiar into the unknown and back again to the familiar." Such moves require courage and, Manlowe believes, "We are all emboldened by encouragement and rigorous listening."  Get started now by ordering my book: Polishing the Mirror: 90 Days to Vocational Clarity.

*A little known fact: the term "peripatetic" means "the ones walking about." Aristotle founded the Peripatetic School in 335 B.C.E. at the Lyceum; this very first school, just outside the walls of Athens, fostered a kind of "athletic play" and was called the Gymnasium.  Make an appointment with me via telephone for free 15' sample of how we might work together: (206) 852-2605 or via email: jlmanlowe@earthlink.net The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard said, "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday I walk myself into a state of well-being.... I have walked myself into my best thoughts and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk through it."   RETURN TO HOME PAGE
