There is an inspiring 30-minute speech by Al Gore
challenging all of us and our nation to commit to a 10-year program to
move away completely from a carbon-based economy. The challenge echoes
what a lot of us have been saying for years, but he has developed
sufficient moral authority in some sectors that maybe more people will
listen. Redesigning our energy infrastructure isn’t exactly the same as
going to the moon as he suggests, but there are some powerful parallels. [ Read More]

It seems appropriate on this Earth Day that
I am scooting along the French countryside at about 180 mph on one of
Eurostar’s fast trains on my way to Amsterdam. I decided that the
chance to spend a few hours away from hotels and airports might be a
refreshing change. I was right. The scenery is lovely and the ride
comfortable. If governments and organizations could move this fast,
there is no telling what could be accomplished. I have been working a lot this trip with the question of how to get more velocity into my client’s decision-making processes.[ Read More]

Read the first post in this series.
Lorin Smith had developed his own healing practice based on massage,
singing, dance, telling stories. As I came to know him over time, I saw
he could look at a person, individual, or look at a group, and see
exactly what kind of energy was missing. He could see where the joy was
missing, or where the relationship was missing. He could see whether
people didn’t mean what they said. He could see how their bodies were
contracted or turned against themselves or twisted out of shape. He had
an ability to see what I was not trained to see. I could already sense
some of this in my work with groups, but I was not really construing it
in any kind of energetic framework as he did. And what he was able to
produce, in terms of sick people getting better or groups going from
non-directed to focused, was very fast and remarkable. It was as though
he was breathing life—breathing energy—into them. And he would do
whatever he needed to do, whatever he could think of to do, given his
particular talent, culture, and repertoire. [ Read More]

In a recent conversation with my sisters, I was reminded that people
don’t necessarily have to agree with the how, why or when of a
particular possibility. But they do have to be aligned on the ‘who’ and
the ‘what’ in order to move forward together—and the ‘who’ has to
include a commitment from each person involved to the possibility of
the ‘what’. In fact, disagreeing with the specifics of how to create a
possibility adds value to the conversation and can inform and, in many
cases, contribute to the success of the venture—whether it is the
creation of something intangible (like a relationship) or tangible
(like a product, project or organization). For
most, agreement occurs when one person surrenders their point of view
to accept another point of view.[ Read More]
