Creating Space for Others to Think

On the impact of effective coaching conversations at work — For a long time the maxim “don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions,” ruled the world of organizational leadership.

Working with Discomfort

Building a full relationship with the world and with ourselves through centering. — In life we all face bumpy moments, periods of turbulence and uncertainty, times of just not wanting things to be the way they are. The scenarios are vast: receiving feedback that is hard to hear, dealing with a difficult colleague, not getting funding, getting laid off, having our hearts broken…

At the End of the Year

Guided reflections across a transitional threshold. — We live our lives within the rhythms and cycles of the physical world. Our calendars commemorate this by marking each full rotation of the earth as a day, the total cycle of the moon around the earth as a month, and the complete trip of the earth around the sun…

Building a Relationship With Change

On working with change as an expression of your full aliveness. — The pace of change today — technological, societal, environmental, geopolitical — is increasing at such a rapid rate that it can be destabilizing to our individual identities. Those of us caught up in the expansive reach of free-market capitalism have cultivated a sense of urgency, entrepreneurialism, and problem-solving when it…

Completing the Four Orders

An even deeper dive into the Four Orders through the lens of history, and an attempt to complete the matrix. — Note: This was originally shared in my Revue newsletter, “Explorations in Design.” With Twitter sunsetting the app I needed a home for some writings, so I’m putting them on Medium for now.

Navigating Life’s Transitions

“The only constant in life is change.” -Heraclitus — Life is a ceaseless process of transition. The small transitions of daily life slip by unnoticed while the big changes — career, relationship status, geographic location, etc. — are worthy of celebratory social media posts.

Where is Interaction Design Headed?

A few thoughts on the future of the practice. — Interaction design has come a long way since the term was first coined in the mid-1980s to describe the design of digital things.

Storytelling in Organizations

On complexity, systems, and storytelling — “What would it be like to grow organizations whose complexity arises from the cross-pollinating visions and imaginations of their constituent members?” — David Whyte Last week I asked a question on Twitter that generated a surprising amount of conversation.
