Having recently presented a program on Cultivating Mindfulness to the Colorado Chapter of the International Coach Federation, and wanting to elevate my own mindfulness, I decided to address here the topic of relationship presence. I have observed that my ability to remain present varies from fairly weak to very strong, depending on many circumstances. I'm typically most attentive when working with clients. Lately, though, my wife Ruth has been requesting greater attunement from me when she is speaking about herself.
