The Quickest Path to Action

Going slow to go fast

Extra patience and attention is required - all the discussion, discovery, curation, networking and weaving that happens before something becomes a visible project - before a great new idea takes shape. It's the months of planning before a climb. It's the research and development before a product is ready for production. It's researching the field before forming a new hypothesis. It's allowing the impossible to be possible before coming to judgement. It's the promise that if one can break through a boundary, they leave a trail in their wake making it easier for others to follow.

Only by collectively holding space for emergence can we defy the odds and move forward faster than we ever thought possible.

An Emergent Conversation on 30 Mar 2022

... a flowing, spontaneous conversation between two people who just met: Killu Sanborn and Wendy McLean about creating contagious spaces through emergent leadership, the importance of establishing feedback loops to best meet and respond to the challenges we face, how we might better react to community concerns. What else do you hear?

Another Emergent Conversation 27 July 2022

Killu Sanborn and Wendy McLean are back together. Covering many topics in another flowing conversation that ends with discussing how this type of trust in a group doesn't come from the people or the culture, it comes from the VIBE. Being together in this way, coherently, is powerful!
