Improv comedy is a powerful teacher. Especially for difficult to learn topics like trust. And intimacy. (And even how to stop burnout??)

In every month - not just Women's History Month - women have so many lessons to share with men. Here is a sample of some I've been gifted...

A story of how a group of men who've mostly never met each other created deep friendships, one monthly Zoom call at a time.

Change is hard, just like writing poems. Breaking both down into small pieces can make it a lot easier.

The story of how a boy played make believe all the way into his 40s, burned out, became The President, then finally became himself.

The value of showing up daily saved me from burnout. It came through for me again in a moment when I could have otherwise been let down.

Moments of bravery are a reminder that we must be willing to embrace fears first. Only then do we get to bring forth our courage.

Scientists say that burnout is a workplace issue. I disagree. If we're to recover from burnout, we need to explore intimacy across our lives

Shame, like Silly Putty, is powerful. Both can pick up an image and create a distorted reflection. They both can stretch in surprising ways.

The WHO says burnout is a work issue. I say work is part of a life that's always being lived, so burnout has to factor in more than work.

What factors lead to burnout for Dads? A combination of expectations for modern men and legacy standards from previous generations is one.

To move from a life of burnout to one of balancing requires changes. Many of those are small, daily changes. Some are much bigger.

Being the "man of the house" at an early age offered me many things: among them shame, restlessness, and eventually compassion.

What are 7 ways to rewrite the Male Provider archetype? It's easy and fun - just rearrange the letters to find new meaning!

No man wants to be labeled "impotent". There's a multi-billion dollar market to prove that. So why are men ok with emotional impotence?

Men frequently wear burnout as a badge of honor. In reality it's an anchor. It takes time to roll back that tide, and it's entirely worth it

Men have grown up with beliefs about power that create harmful patterns. They harm other people, society & the planet. They harm men, too.

I have come to realize that one of my gifts is being unafraid of talking about "it". ("It" being the topics that make most of us squirm...)

The most courageous act a man can take is to be intimate, to really open up to the world around him and be seen for who he is.

Intimacy can be found most readily when we allow ourselves to enter into silent spaces in ourselves and with others.
