Anxiety spreads in 4 spaces
-
The space that is inside you.
Assumptions, expectations, pressures and triggers.
-
The space between you and the other.
Catching each other’s anxiety and escalating in reactivity.
-
The space inside the other.
What are they thinking, what do they think of me, why did they do that?
-
The space between others.
When you enter a room and step on a mood, or someone changes the mood.

Steve's time with our Magnolia staff was WONDERFUL. He helped put words to the anxiety that so many people feel both on a personal and professional level. Since his visit, we've been able to see the practical utilization of what Steve taught, which has been invaluable. We highly recommend!

Annie Kardas
Chief Talent Officer, A21.
Steve arrested the attention of our 130+ Global Team members. His message crossed cultural and language barriers, and the positive feedback from our 19 office locations around the world was more than any other training we have had to date. Our team works in intense situations fighting human trafficking. Steve helped us identify our own anxiety and gave us priceless tools to more quickly identify and de-escalate it in others.
“The differentiated self is a connected presence.
Curious. Non Reactive.
Keeping anxiety from spreading to others,
sifting assumptions and false expectations.
Connecting to self, others and God.
This is difficult and life giving work.”
