AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE8/17/2020 I started the day with a sense of gratitude.
At 43, I am well, healthy, better, and productive and loved by family and friends. I am more patient, generous, and persevering than a few years ago. I am better at listening and understanding and refraining from making judgments of others and their situations. I am better at making commitments and doing them, and taking at stab at new challenging projects. There is nothing you can't do in this interesting time when technology is at your finger tips. There is nothing that can't be done with talent, passion, and hard work. There is nothing that gets in your way unless you allow it to do so. Cheers to another year of great fun, adventure, and learning! Yes, can I have my cake, now?

BEYOND RESILIENCE8/12/2020 Yesterday, I spoke at Trico Changemakers Studio and it was a delight to have a very engaging discussion with the members present.
What I observed about the resilience narrative is that they are based on patterns and a sense of predictability that is not present right now in a climate of ambiguity, uncertainty, complexity, and volatility. I have made a Beyond Resilience paradigm to show what we are missing out on many important themes. Insead of asking yourselves, are you ready to bring your kids to schools, ask about how education can be reimagined for the future generation. Instead of asking how can we solve homelessness together, why don't reimagine how the vulnerable population can be part of us, not something to be considered separate, different, and wanting? We asked the wrong questions therefore get the wrong answers. We need bold imagination for a future that is not what we desire, but we can thrive and build stronger. Let's start a conversation.

UP-SOLVING THE PROBLEM8/10/2020 An intervention at the right moment, with the right degree, and with the right approach can lead to savings (clap, clap), and prevention of future troubles for the organization.
The longer you wait for external assistance, the less control you have of the situation. The less control you have, the more chances of stagnation and decline in quality of management. That decline can lead to more personnel problems down the road. Sitting on the problem or doing it yourself can create an enormous amount of risks, unknown and unidentified. The leader has to take action and create opportunities for solutions to emerge. Are you waiting for the problem to surface or are you solving them before it erupts on your face? Let's face it: it's more expensive to clean up afterwards. |
