Question 1

Why do you describe the second half of life not as decline or reinvention, but as a redesign of one’s internal architecture?

Accepted Answer

Because adulthood is not a single arc but a continuous re-composition of meaning. The second half of life is a period when purpose, identity, and achievement are re-aligned. Rather than chasing reinvention, coaching invites leaders to redesign the internal architecture that sustains coherence amid change.

Question 2

Can anything be true outside of context, or does meaning always depend on where we stand?

Accepted Answer

Meaning always arises in context. Narrative coaching examines how perspective, environment, and history shape interpretation. When leaders learn to read context clearly, they act with greater coherence and adaptability.

Question 3

How does confusing clarity with certainty affect the way we lead and live?

Accepted Answer

Clarity is responsive and dynamic; certainty is rigid. Modern leadership often mistakes the two. True clarity comes from the ability to hold complexity without collapse—a core principle of transformational leadership and contemporary psychoanalytic thought.
