Our conversation explores the development of the various strengths and leadership capacities that lead to maturity as a man. 
 
We talk about how women can better understand the process men are in as they mature and how it intersects with men coming into their own power. We also touch upon emotional intelligence, connection, and men’s work and men’s groups.
 
As a woman who coaches a lot of men at midlife, these concepts have dramatically changed how I work with men.
