Learning and Coaching

Today I took my sons to the Natural History Museum in Albertropolis.

What struck me was the similarity of the blue whale's skeleton to the human's. Both have a head at the top of a spine. Both have booth arms (fins) and legs (fins). I imagined the whale's skeleton morphing into a human skeleton. It didn't need that many changes. I realised thst I was learning about vertebrates. It gave me an insight into taxonomy of life. It gave new meaning to learning and coaching. As I was showing my boys (actually we were there for my wife's nephew as our boys are too young to appreciate this) about the diversity of life, I was learning myself. We are all learning and coaching at the same time.
