Thoughts on Human Systems

Innovation, Transformation, and Reinvention: The Power of Regenerative Practice
“Regeneration goes beyond resilience or sustainability. Whatever is resilient, restored, robust, or sustainable resists or recovers from shocks and stays the same. Shocks make a regenerative business better. It rebounds by building the capacity to do and be more than it was before.” Carol Sandford

Leading teams in high growth systems
“Most musicians know about the unique state that is reached in the music sessions: you are not focused on yourself, you are focused on the collective action, on the others, on the music. Your self-consciousness is reduced and the perception of the synergy generated as a group is enhanced. There’s a pleasurable rewarding feeling about the idea of creating something together…” – Francisco Zamorano

Spacious systems for increased productivity
I really disconnected over Christmas – for one of the first times ever – from digital, from daily life, and from others, and enjoyed a profound re-connection with myself and nature.

Thriving : practice makes progress
I still remember my love/hate relationship with learning to play the cello – always wanting to be ‘good enough’ to play pieces of music, but constantly getting bored and feeling downhearted about the amount of time and effort it took to play the notes in tune. It was a constant dance between perfection and creativity, trying to reach the middle ground and find flow, but with enough discipline and effort to make it creative.

Healthy change to system paradigms
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

The transformational power of stories
“Stories constitute the single most powerful weapon in a leader’s arsenal.” Dr. Howard Gardner
