Leadership within an emergent framework Applying regenerative practices into my role and our organization Generating will to do the work and how do I support the will of others on the team Stepping into the uncomfortable edge/tensions that arise with changes required to move forward and the resistences that naturally arise (what unbelonging is called for) Managing polarities of: collaborative and independent work sense of urgency and patience with process emergent and planful approaches to our work
6. What have you invested in to get you where you are?	A spiritual path that has challenged many limiting beliefs and opened up new ways of being Several leadership roles have taught and stretched me; I learned so much about manifestation of potential, strategy, teams and more recently emergent approaches Meditation, yoga and eating practices have contributed to my current state of mental and physical health I've invested in my friends and family and enjoy reciprocal love and support A love of continuous learning about possibilities, consciousness, and manifestation
7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life?	People: My parents and grandmothers as exemplars Richie Davidson - neuroscientist and emotions researcher Eckart Tolle Dalai Lama Mingyur Rinpoche Allyn Roberts Adam Rubel Ed Schultz Pema Chodron Roxanne Howe-Murphy Don Berwick Meg Wheatley Fields of Learning: Servant Leadership Human potential Consciousness Emergence Human Centered Design Food as Medicine Behavioral Change Energy Medicine
8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it?	Here's a humble start to a really good question. I hope to evolve this during the course: I've always been drawn to the potential that humans have to heal, contribute and flourish. I believe we have innate wisdom that can be drawn from head, heart and body to guide our choices and ways of being in the world with ourselves and in relation to others and the planet. I am energized by the idea that we can change in response to experience. I believe we are part of something bigger and there is a universal force. Nature has been one of my greatest teachers.
