OK, but my fee is $150 an hour for non-profits and $225 an hour for for-profit organizations. I'll try to remember to PM you an address so you can send a retainer.

I try to think of risks in terms of instructive vs. restrictive dialog. That is to say, I seldom make formal judgments based on what not to do (restrictive thinking), and rather try to make judgments on what I/we will gain, learn, improve upon, etc. Hence, the risk taking is always framed in the form of here's what we need to do to be successful. Cycling example: In order to fly down this hill at 55 mph, I need to keep my hands and forearms relaxed, I need to keep my eyes 20 to 30 yards or more ahead, I need to be aware of other vehicle traffic, etc. This would be, IMHO, better than thinking: I don't want to tense up, I don't want to focus too close on the road in front of the bike, etc. Leadership of others or even internal leadership for the self must be instructive by nature is one wants to keep the most productive images of success as one takes the risk. I got my first experiential learning of this principle (at least one of which I was fully aware) riding a roller coaster. I used to think: Oh, this is scary, I don't want to fall out, etc. Then after studying the principles of instructive vs. restrictive leadership, I got on a roller coaster and thought: Throw your arms in the air on the first big drop and scream with glee. And don't you know I really enjoyed that roller coaster ride.
