Hi Reader,
When was the last time you allowed yourself to drift gently into a conversation, suspending all assumptions and seeing where it might take you?
In this episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast, I’m joined by Trevor Timbeck, a leadership coach from London, Ontario, and co-author (with Steve Chandler) of "The Power of Systems" and "The Power of Love."
Trevor shares the genesis of his collaboration with Steve, the playful back-and-forth “system” that shaped their writing process, and how the act of slowing down and reflecting—rather than defending or rushing—creates space for new possibilities.
We explore how writing these books has shifted Trevor’s approach to life and coaching, moving from a strict search for “the right answer” to a more relational, present, and love-driven way of being. Inspired by thinkers like David Bohm and Humberto Maturana, Trevor speaks to the impact of dialogue, the creative act of “talking to dead people” via AI, and the audacity to be offbeat or “go off the rails” in creative projects. Whether in military or corporate settings, we reflect on the hidden power of love, legitimacy, and playfulness—even in serious work.
When have you noticed deeper connection or insight arising from ‘drifting’ in dialogue without a fixed destination? What new systems or creative practices have helped you see things differently?
