Tomorrow we begin.

Four days to step out of the noise, settle in, and spend time in the kind of conversation that can quietly change the way you see your work, your clients, and your own life.

There’s something about the Professional Retreat that is hard to put into words. Yes, there is learning. Yes, there are insights. But more than that, there is a feeling that seems to stay with people long after the weekend ends.

A renewed clarity. A deeper appreciation for the work. Gratitude for being in community with people who understand what you’re looking toward. And often, a sense of coming home to yourself more fully than ever before.

The 2026 Professional Training Retreat begins tomorrow at 10:00 AM Pacific, in La Conner and online.

We’d love to have you with us.

October 8–11, 2026
Enjoy the recordings for one whole year!

You don’t often see the words professional and retreat in the same event title.

Professional training usually sounds like something to prepare for, concentrate through, take notes on, and come home from with more to do.

A retreat suggests almost the opposite: stepping away, slowing down, creating space, and letting something settle.

That combination is exactly what makes our Professional Training Retreat so special.

For four days, you get to step out of the regular pace of life and work. You listen, reflect, ask questions, have conversations, and spend time with people who are looking in the same direction. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, your mind begins to quiet, without effort.

That’s when fresh thinking starts to appear. You hear things differently. You see your clients differently. You see your own life differently.

It’s professional development, yes. But it’s also a reset, a refresh, and a renewal. And that may be one of the most valuable things you bring back to your work.

We hope you'll join us.

We’re just a few days away.

Our Professional Training Retreat begins Thursday, October 8, with George & Linda Pransky, Erika Bugbee, and Wyn Morgan gathering for four days of conversation, insight, questions, client demonstrations, and time to deepen your understanding of the Three Principles.

You can join us in person in La Conner or online. And if the timing doesn’t work for you live, registration also includes access to the recordings for a full year, so you can take your time with the retreat and return to the sessions again and again.

Some of the most helpful shifts in practitioner work are surprisingly simple.

Listening without overthinking.
Trusting what occurs in a quiet mind.
Staying grounded in what you understand.
Being willing to share before you feel like you know everything.

That’s the spirit of Practitioner Wisdom with Linda Pransky. This five-part audio set was created for coaches, practitioners, and helping professionals who want to deepen their understanding and bring more ease, clarity, and presence into their work with others.

One of the reminders Linda shares in the series:
“As you teach, you learn more. You have to put yourself out there with the little understanding that you think you have, and just share.”

Throughout October, the complete set is 50% off — $20, regularly $40.
Five recordings. 1 hour and 36 minutes. A little treasure trove of wisdom to return to again ang again.

We’re about one week away from the 2026 Professional Training Retreat.

For four days, coaches and helping professionals from around the world will come together to slow down, listen deeply, reconnect with their own grounding, and spend time in the kind of conversation that continues working on you long after the retreat ends.

People who have joined us in past years describe leaving with greater clarity, confidence, gratitude, inspiration, and a deeper understanding that has touched both their work and their lives. And for those joining online, the experience can be every bit as connected and meaningful as being in the room.

This year, George & Linda Pransky are joined by Wyn Morgan and Erika Bugbee in La Conner, Washington and online.

If you’ve been considering joining us, there’s still time.

What if the thing you think makes you a good listener is actually the thing getting in the way?

Most of us listen with a lot going on in our own minds.

We’re considering what the person is saying. Making connections. Remembering something similar that happened to us. Trying to understand. Thinking of a helpful question. Formulating what we’ll say next.

And because we’re deeply engaged with the conversation, it feels like listening.

But George points to something beautifully simple:

“Your own thinking about what’s being said is the biggest barrier to listening.”

The less we have going on in our own heads, the more of the other person we actually get.

Their words. Their feeling. The things they’re saying without quite saying them. And sometimes, something deeper than any of that.

Listening becomes less about what we’re doing while someone talks and more about how available we are to be affected by them.

It’s such a different way of looking at something we do every single day.

And it’s at the heart of the three recordings in The Listening Bundle, which is 50% off throughout September.

There is something different about stepping away from everyday life and giving yourself a few days to simply listen, reflect, and deepen your understanding.

Our Professional Training Retreat is coming up in just two weeks - October 8–11, 2026, in La Conner, Washington and online.

George & Linda Pransky, Erika Bugbee, and Wyn Morgan will spend four days exploring what truly helps when we work with people: grounding, insight, quiet mind, listening, and the understanding beneath the work.

George and Linda bring five decades of experience sharing the Three Principles. Erika brings a lifetime immersed in this understanding and 20 years of experience at Pransky & Associates. Wyn brings more than two decades in coaching and people development, along with over a decade of connection and mentorship with George and Linda.

The retreat is designed for practitioners who want to deepen their own grounding and become more confident sharing this understanding with clients, teams, and communities.

You can join us in person in La Conner or participate online from anywhere in the world.

This may be one of our favorite things about Aidan.

He isn’t extraordinary because he becomes some perfected, fearless, endlessly clear version of himself.

He is an ordinary human being who begins to see something differently—and discovers what becomes possible from there.

We loved this reader’s description of the story as both light and fun and, at the same time, an invitation to reflection. That combination was very much what George and Don hoped for when they decided to put this understanding into a novel.

Thank you for reading it with such an open heart.

We continue to be so touched by the thoughtful responses to State of Mind Is the Bottom Line.

So much attention in business goes toward strategy, systems, behavior, and performance. Yet underneath all of it are human beings—thinking, feeling, perceiving, and doing the best they can from the state of mind they happen to be in.

The hope behind this book was to bring that invisible dimension to life through a story rather than simply explain it.

It is incredibly gratifying to see readers recognizing it for themselves.

Thank you to everyone who has read the book, shared it, reviewed it, or simply told us what stayed with you. We’re so grateful to have this story finding its way into the world. ❤️

State of Mind Is the Bottom Line by Don Donovan & George Pransky, Ph.D. is available now in hardcover, paperback, Kindle, and audiobook.

There’s something we give another person when we truly listen to them.

And it may be far more powerful than anything we could think to say.

When someone has our full attention -- not while we’re analyzing them, relating their story to ours, thinking of advice, or preparing our response -- they can feel it.

There’s space.

They don’t have to work quite so hard to be understood. They can hear themselves more clearly. They may even find themselves saying something they didn’t know they knew.

“The presence of a listener has a powerful effect on the person who is talking.” — George Pransky

That kind of listening isn’t something we have to do particularly well. In fact, George suggests that much of what we’ve learned about being a “good listener” can actually get in the way.

The quieter our own mind, the more available we are to simply hear another human being.

And that changes a conversation.

This month, we’ve bundled three of George’s recordings on listening - Impact Listening, Listening, and Talker Friendly Listening - into The Listening Bundle.

🎧 3 recordings
Regularly $36 → $18 throughout September

A beautiful little collection for coaches, practitioners, partners, parents, friends...and really, anyone who talks to other human beings.
