Replying to LO15201 --

Ben Compton wrote a wonderful post about the impact of childhood abuse on
his adult career.

"The issues I wrested with at Novell were:
1- Problems with authority
2- Anger (which was vented in numerous ways; often I didn't even know it was
anger that was influencing my behavior)"

This really resonates with me. While I did not suffer abuse as a child, I
grew up in a home where anger and rage were always close to the surface.
I, too, have been plagued with problems with anger, and have heard from
several 360 reviews that I can be very intimidating at times.

I would really like to hear more, Ben, about the path of Personal Mastery
you followed to work through the issues you raised.

Thanks.

Mike.....
