This weekend was a reminder that philosophy isn’t something you study, it’s something you’re gifted…usually by a mentor if you’re willing to catch it.
Grateful for the time, wisdom, and intentional pouring-in from Claude Lessard, DC during our Diplomate of the Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers at Truly a top mentor of mine.
True mentorship doesn’t give answers, it refines thinking.
Wrapping up 3 additional years for my diplomate and this last weekend together reminded us learning isn’t about accumulating knowledge.
It’s about cultivating stewardship of principles so they can be lived, taught, and expressed with integrity.
This last model ended with a conversation around Joe Strauss’ book Higher Ground. Reminding us, philosophy matters, not just as theory, but as the foundation for how we serve, lead, and contribute to society.
Grateful. Grounded. Aligned.
