Philosophers' Café
“Don’t give advice, unless someone insists,” says Parker Palmer. “Instead, be fully present, listen deeply, and ask questions that give the other a chance to express more of his or her own truth.” How do you interpret this quote?

Meguido Zola was completely unknown until 19-mumble-mumble. Then he was born. Even then, he continued to be unknown but to a select few. Today though, he is seldom mistaken for anyone else. His name, Meguido, means “storyteller” and he is, among many things, a professional storyteller, performance poet and award-winning writer for children and young adults.
Following a career school-teaching in various parts of the world, he’s been a teacher-educator and professor in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University for over three decades, completing a three-year tenure as the director of Professional Programs. He holds the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential from the International Coach Federation (ICF).
When Meguido coaches his heart sings and his soul soars!
