Diving boards
The leap at the swimming pool is obvious indeed. Ten steps up the ladder. The wait at the end of the board. The moment in between not-diving and diving. The leap is clear. We can see it and we can feel it. In day to day life, we have worked to eliminate that feeling. Organizations […]
