FEBI as a Key Tool in Integrating Energy to Create Stronger, More Resilient Teams
FEBI, the mind-body assessment from IZL, reminds us in the words of Kate Watters, that “none of us have to be everything” and each and all of us have access to an array of energies than we can use judiciously on our teams.

What is Self-Transcendence?
But, for those singular moments when my legs would gain speed and every part of my body would move further and further forward, gaining momentum – I knew what it was to feel connected to all, connected to my true self, connected to nature, connected to something bigger than what I thought of as me.

Saturated With Loss
On my kitchen windowsill is one of my grandmother’s orchids. I brought it home after she passed away earlier this year as it wasn’t faring so well without her particular care and attention - I understood how it felt. Although I’m still a newbie gardener and have zero experience with orchids, it started to revive and I felt the joy of her presence again.
