A Journey of the Heart to Ukraine
It was a rough night in Kyiv. I shot straight from sleep into full wakefulness. The explosions, way too near for comfort, jolted my sensory system alert. The night felt ominous, surreal; seared by the sound of drones, sirens, and explosions, the sky alight with...
Becoming the Ground (in a world of crisis)
We grow in direct proportion to the amount of chaos we can sustain and dissipate. ~ Ilya Prigogine We are living in times of increasing chaos. However stable our immediate lives may seem, society at large has become widely dysregulated. Things we used...
Opening Up to Emergent Leadership
Something surprised me in a group discussion recently. I love surprises: They have so much to teach us! Our group was meeting on Zoom, planning a workshop on a tight timeline. We were down to our next-to-last meeting, and it was time to finalize a plan. The...

Idling in Isolation — or Incubating Change?
The world looks far different today than what most people could have imagined just two months ago. The normally crowded Red Square at the local university sits vacant. The spread of the pandemic, the extent of the lockdowns, and the enormity of the economic...
A Worldwide Teachable Moment
The world is eerily quiet. Car traffic, jet travel, institutions of all types, and commerce in general are all in uncharacteristic repose. Much of the machinery of the world has ground to a halt, while our medical systems are in overdrive. For those...
Impeach Facebook!
For years the transgressions have been piling up. Privacy breaches. Data mining exposés. Obvious violations of trust. Denial used as a battle weapon. Hollow apologies. Despite all this, most Facebook users have...
