Welcome!
I’m glad you’re here.
We have
important
work to do.
What if we actually aimed for thriving?
Too often, we accept busyness and productivity as their own reward. Or we’re afraid to be bold, so we aim for something less than thriving.
As a result, we’re falling dangerously short of thriving in our communities, in our organizations and in our own lives.
So, what if we recognized the characteristics of thriving living systems in our organizations and communities?
And what if that were somehow simple and useful, opening up new insights and suggesting new ways forward?
What if our most powerful role is to act as stewards of life’s processes, actively cultivating the fertile conditions for life to thrive?
And what if this helped us achieve all of our other objectives more effectively?
This is the most important work of our times.
This is the practice of thrivability.
Here’s how I can help.
Whether you’re an organizational leader, a community planner or just someone looking for answers, here are some ways I can help.

Think Like a Mother (Or: Why Stakeholder Capitalism is a Dangerous Concept)
I've just given a short talk to a corporate audience at a daylong online conference. I was invited to help close out the day with some provocative thoughts. And still, it felt risky and brave. Here's the description of the session, as it was given to me: This...
Preparing the Ground for a More Perfect Union
Just over half the US population and much of the rest of the world is puzzling over one question: why would anyone (much less 70 million people) continue to support Trump, given everything he and those associated with him have said and done? In fact, a growing number...
"What we truly need to learn is what it means to align with life’s core patterns and potential – what it means to commit to the intention and practice not only of sustainability but of 'thrivability.'”

"If tourism authorities...are to respond appropriately and sufficiently to the challenges humanity faces, they will need to develop the skillset not of marketing and managing the tourist destination but of connecting and cultivating the hosting community."

Let’s design for that."
