What’s New

  • On February 15, I’m co-hosting a meeting to introduce “What’s Your Tree?”, a seven session program for clarifying life purpose and how to express it in the world. Anne Thompson and I are offering the program for the cost of materials only, and it will start on Sunday March 4. More information.
  • I’ve finished the first draft of my second book, Make Light Work in Groups: 10 Tools for Groups that Thrive. I’m gathering feedback and working on revisions, with the goal of launching the book in the fall of 2012.
  • I’ve developed a new workshop based on my forthcoming book. It  introduces five frameworks for better understanding and navigating in groups, including Trust Theory, Chaordic Design, and Panarchy. The debut workshop was well received at Langara College in November. Contact me if you are interested.
  • I’ve piloted teaching inner work tools over the phone lines in small group conference calls. To my delight, it works! People have participated from as far away as South Carolina, New Mexico, Toronto, and Victoria BC. I look forward to offering more programs this year.
  • I’m in wonderful conversations about possible work in Toronto — the city where I was born — thanks to having given five workshops there in July/September.
  • Kelly Whetstone, the host of Empowerment on 12Radio has invited me back twice this fall for conversations about inner work, the most recent being how to make light work of the holidays.
  • Listen to a recent Coping with Caregiving radio interview (scroll to segment #4) where I shared how inner work can help with burnout, overwhelm, stuckness and confusion. The host, Jacqueline Marcell, is the author of Elder Rage.
  • Through partnerships, I am making my book available to people creating positive change. These include citizen engagement organizations, community service agencies, and social enterprise networks. I welcome suggestions of great organizations to partner with — via email.
  • Here’s a great review of Make Light Work! Wonderful to know the book is accessible.
  • Make Light Work is now available as a Kindle e-book!!! (available at Amazon UK and Amazon US)! The Epub version will be ready soon.
  • One of the most powerful engines of positive change is people who know their life purpose and who have a circle of support. In partnership with Be The Change Earth Alliance, I co-facilitate a 20-the hour What’s Your Tree? group leader training. Get in touch if you are interested or for more information.
