Getting Real, Care to Join me. . .


I see that interestingly, we have created a ‘crisis culture’ consciously and unconsciously, but collectively.  With that is an addictive habit of negativity, fear based dramas, over-reacting, ongoing confusion with ‘saying one thing and doing the opposite’, and overwhelming projects produced for even greater chaotic patterns.

What to do?  First of all, it is important to note we are ‘bumping up against the same ‘tree’, set of trees, repeatedly.  Secondly, ask the question, ‘Why’?  To me, it doesn’t matter if the issue is personal or professional. . .the the paradigm needs an objective perspective and process.  Not always easy to get enough distance to see the forest without the objectivity, openness to a new prototype and paradox potential, but grow and change we must.

I’ve been in love with Complexity Theory, Systems Strategies, Universal Principles, Life really, ever since I found The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge, Tom Peter’s, Peter Drucker, Deepak Chopra and Charles Handy back in the early 90’s.  Today, I’ve incorporated more new mental models by Russell Ackoff, Meg Wheatley, Warren Nilsson and Peter Block focused on organizational behavior.  They provide my Whole Health and a Well Being worldview with formulas for cracking the code and a language to articulate it.
