Visioning for Change

Created 11 years ago in Skills & Management / Leadership

Visioning is a vogue-ish high-level exercise in business, urban planning, nonprofits… anywhere where thinking strategically about future direction is helpful.

The experience helps in determining purpose and strategic direction and bringing clarity to individuals and those they work with: partners, employees, customers.

For teams and individual creators of all stripes: social entrepreneurs, activists, nonprofit leaders, organizers, artists, educators... anyone willing to stand in the fires of change in order to create a better world for themselves and others.

Equal parts strategist, publicist, marketer, social entrepreneur, nonprofit leader and writer, I have an insatiable interest in big ideas and the behaviors that drive people, what resonates with them, and how to communicate with them. I've followed my bliss for years and have used visioning exercises to help bring clarity to his own path and others. Some years ago, I broke the trance of an increasingly cynical consumer culture and started applying his corporate skills to social impact.

I've been instrumental in a social enterprise, a nonprofit, and various projects and community engagements that are focused on making our communities a more vibrant, sustainable, locally-rooted and human-scale place to live and work.

I also have a strong meditation practice, which keep me centered and positive and my mind agile and creative (relatively speaking).
