#ByeOver November 15

In November 2025, many of us will be taking part in the 30-Day Human Condition Coach4aday Challenge. “Human conditions” can refer to the wide range of physical, mental, emotional, and social experiences that define our lives. Each day we will spotlight or describe those experiences. I am going to use this challenge to dive into a book called “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows” written by John Koenig. It provides the readers words for feelings or human conditions we might be hard to describe.  My condition for today is a BUY OVER

We all have been faced with a moment that involved an emotional farewell. That is essence of the condition described by John Koenig as a Bye-Over.

Human Condition-30 Day Challenge Guidelines

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing something about a Human Condition during the month of November.

  1. Record or Describe a Human Condition. Try, if possible, to provide an example
  2. Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
  3. Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge

If you need help in clarifying Human Conditions here are some examples

November 15th-Bye-Over

Last night we got to witness a Bye-Over. Good friends of ours have sold their home of some 17 years. We all gathered in their backyard sitting around a fire and had fellowship. For most of us it will not be the last time we will see them. Yet one person in attendance knew this might be a farewell. They had that goodbye moment but didn’t leave so they encountered the human condition of the Bye-Over.

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
