I asked several practitioners whom I respect to write guest posts about how they related to two previously released series: Character/Presence and Cultivating Character.

Donna describes three distinct areas that defined her journey to practicing the craft at the mastery level: learning the craft, practicing with integrity, and helping others along the way. She challenges practitioners to consider five questions that can help shape their paths.
