Meet Dan Gardoqui: vlog 39

7/26/2020

Something different this week. My invitation to you is to watch the video featuring my friend and bird language expert, Dan Gardoqui, and ask yourself, "What does this have to teach me about growing my business or building more fulfilling relationships?" And then... let's talk.

To visit Dan's site - www.leadwithnature.com

I totally relate to this. I spend a good portion of my day either in my backyard or the woods, listening to birds. I even listen to the birds when I am in the house. I bring my laptop or notepad outside to do my work.
I know when there's a change - even if I don't know what it means. I listen to the call to roost or retreat at dusk with the local blackbirds. I know when a storm is coming in. It's the pattern of life.
I'm still learning how to listen to humans.

It's funny you should mention humans Terri - something Ive learned from Dan and another mentor of ours, Jon Young, is that humans follow some very similar patterns as birds if only you expand you definition of people language to the non-verbal range of communication. Sometime when I people watch, I like to read the language that they communicate that doesn't involve words. We all do this of course but comparing it to the language of the birds... well, it's fascinating.

What The Robin Know's by Jon Young (forward by Dan G) is a really good place to start for anyone interested - available on Amazon.

Thanks for this Michael. Although I won't be heading to the Adirondacks this summer (14 day quarantine, thanks, Miami, FL) I've been spending a lot of time outdoors on our screen porch, working, making art, and learning Dutch. This video reminded me of the idea of tracking what captures our attention. At the moment it's not my coaching business, but rather slowing way down and remembering what brings me joy. Watching the lizards, squirrels and birds brings me joy. I loved listening to your friend's bird calls. Fascinating! Maybe after Dutch...

Hey Pat

Slowing down is good. And Dan is the guy you want to talk to for the bird language stuff. He's an incredible tracker as well and while he'll never tell you because he's uber humble, he's worked closely with many of the African Trackers as well.

Now...

"at the moment its not my coaching business..." I can't help myself here but what if your business was whatever it is your were interested in at the moment? I'm serious about that and I ask because I've been spending a lot of time lately talking to others about creating work that was more sharing our lives than doing "coaching" for example.

Food for thought and would love to continue the conversation with you if ever you'd like to.

best
M
