Accompaniment (the noun) or to accompany (the verb) is not the most well known or frequently used terminology in everyday professional or personal life, but it is a powerful concept advocated by the late Dr. Paul Farmer, among other leaders and pioneers across many disciplines. As Farmer stated: ” ‘Accompaniment’ is an elastic term. It has a basic, everyday meaning. To accompany someone is to go somewhere with him or her, to break bread together, to be present on a journey with a beginning and an end. There’s an element of mystery, of openness, of trust, in accompaniment. The companion, the accompagnateur, says, ‘I’ll go with you and support you on your journey wherever it leads.’ ”
