    A Tale of Living Cities - Season 3/Episode 9
    Oct 2 2024

    Have you ever walked into a room full of empty tables and chairs? People are in the room and yet no one is sitting down. Conversations are happening all around you, but all of the chairs are still empty.


    Who is going to be the first to take a seat? Which table do you choose? What makes one empty table more appealing than another?


    I was recently faced with an opportunity to choose from several empty tables in a large room. I was the first to take a seat at the table, and I was joined by human beings I’d never met before, and it was the most magical experience!


    Empty tables are an invitation to delve into the possibilities that exist because we are human beings with lived experiences.


    What have you discovered from the tables at which you’ve chosen take a seat? What opportunities did you cease and were there any that you missed out on? What will you do differently the next time you’re at the table?


    Living Cities is an organization that intentionally and collaboratively brings human beings to the table to center the topics that help us to thrive individually and collectively. To learn more about the work and the change they are committed to, visit https://livingcities.org/.

    Where Are All the Roses? - Season 3/Episode 6
    Aug 21 2024

    Human Systems Dynamics (HSD) has been around for more than twenty years. There are associates, around the globe, who have been certified in it and countless learners who have attended one or many HSD non-certification courses.

    


    The hope is that those that learn HSD are sharing it with others and that sharing will attract more human beings to touch HSD and make it a pattern of being.

    


    Just recently, I realized that HSD may be part of an individual’s way of living and being without them being formally or informally introduced to HSD. Imagine that!

    


    It made me wonder where HSD begins and where it ends?

    


    Press play to hear some of the ways HSD is being practiced by human beings as a pattern who don’t know anything about HSD.

    You’re Simply the Best but Now What? (Season 3/Bonus Episode)
    Aug 19 2024

    The 2024 Paris Olympics is over now, but it’s still a popular topic of conversation around the world. I watched this round of the Olympics more than any other and became sort of addicted to it, but not in the way that you may think.


    The question that came to mind as I observed the pattern of victory and celebrating life in different events, was where did this notion of being the best come from?


    How is it helping and/or hindering us both in and outside of sports?


    What do you think?

  • Caged Birds of a Feather - Season 3/Episode 3

    Caged Birds of a Feather - Season 3/Episode 3
    Jul 3 2024
    I have always been afraid of birds, especially those that flock together. On a recent trip to Chicago, I had an epiphany about why everything in the bird species terrifies me, and it took me back to my past when I first read, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou. I was inspired to figure out why the caged bird sings at work, and I now know why their lyrics bother me so much.
