Welcome :)
Feeling stuck? You’re in the right place.
Most of the time things aren’t great. And when things do feel great, those great experiences are fleeting. We’re stuck in broken, pain-in-the-ass systems. We’re stuck in groups that frustrate rather than inspire. We’re stuck in our own heads.
All we have is this day. Let’s use it: improve something today.
We’ll learn together. Thanks, —Brian
From the blog
A meditation and discussion on the topic of self-compassion, or the practice of not borrowing so much cruelty for oneself.
Continuous improvement rather than discrete improvement. Do it enough, and it becomes just what we do around here.
Elements of folklore; “A Nightmare on Elm Street” for small children; improving stories in the telling.
A survey of nine key liberating structures I use all the time, with some notes and digressions.
Develop skills, give authority, assume good faith, create space for shared learning, and relate individual work to larger purpose.
Getting out of one’s own head and into the practice of facilitation. A small ritual I’ve come to rely on.
