Letter to my pre-training self

Letter to my pre-training self

By Ben White

In his candid, generous, open letter to his pre-training self, Ben reflects on what it means to change direction mid-life – wanting to move on from a successful corporate career towards something more essentially human, purposeful, and alive.

He writes about the pull to understand why people feel and act as they do, the courage it takes to start over, and the discovery of a training community that values curiosity, individuality, and depth.
