How do we trust each other without proof?

Community member Emergent by design asked this question today. Love her. Love the question too. I began writing a comment and found that my comment just kept getting longer and longer until I thought to myself “It would be rude to add a comment this long to a...

Graceful receiving and letting go: lessons from a self-organizing group

by lori | Sep 29, 2011 | Benefits, Impacts, Learning, Learning as, Letting Go, Recognizing, Sustaining

So my dear friend Diane just got the job of her dreams. Literally. She’s been having vivid dreams about it since the day she realized she might actually have a shot at getting it. I’m thrilled for her. It fills me with joy that she’s moving in the direction of her...

by lori | Feb 9, 2011 | Sustaining

Well, my Steelers lost. Sigh. Continuing from Sustaining a self-organizing group for 20+years (1 of 3) From my perspective, this 20-year long, 100+ member group appears to sustain itself because the group is contagious (in a good way). Group members themselves are...

Sustaining a large self-organizing group for 20+years (1 of 3)

by lori | Feb 6, 2011 | Sustaining

This week I interviewed 6 members of a remarkable 100+-member self-organizing group that has sustained itself for 20 years and counting. I also interviewed one person who has witnessed, from nearby, this group in action. I still have lots more learning to do, so part...
