I shall not bring the world, or even one man, to me; for that would
plant my feet more firmly in my perspective. My goal instead is to broaden
my perspective and others’ by going to them, standing side by side,
and taking steps forward, together.

How?
Through a balance between language/thought/communication and intuition/knowing.
Language and thought are tied together. We
use language to think and communicate. The key is to break out
of the barriers of what we think we know and become aware of more. I
will push and pull the people I interact with to do that.
Why?
The long term affect of a decision can create a ripple effect. My work
with
a community or team is to increase their awareness so they are conscious
of
what they are affecting by the decision to do something. The ability
to
assess and process relevant information is the basis for making a good
decision. It's the opinion of what is good that involves the work I
do. I
bring people together who have the bits of relevant information that
enables
them collectively to envision the ripples of results their decision will
produce. At this point the decision becomes clear to them, and as time
passes, recalling the action they took brings them joy and pride, or
at least peace.
I have worked with corporate teams, entrepreneurs and small business owners, leaders,
authors, trainers, educators, and non-profit organizations. References
