About Me
My primary institutional affiliation is with Antioch University Seattle, where I work with mid-career adult learners pursing individualized degrees related to leadership, organizational change, community development and activism. As a designer and facilitator of collaborative processes (at all scales) I believe in emergent change that grows messily but creatively out of the dynamic integration of learning with reflective practice. My interests span democratic dialog & decision-making, narrative change, nature's design metaphors, and mapping. Im especially passionate about the role that heartfelt and honest stories play in transformative organizational and community-based change. I'm also an active member of the Group Pattern Language Project, publisher of the GroupWorks card deck and welcome communication about this work!
NCDD Involvement
I participated in the fall 2010 regional conference in Portland, OR and scan the main list serve regularly (I value and learn from it, just not one to contribute in this mode.) I'm just getting involved in planning for the Fall 2012 Seattle conference.
