About Me:
I'm a creative emergence cultivator and catalyst who works with visionary entrepreneurs and organizations to consciously create what's next. I'm the Chief Emergence Officer of The Center for Creative Emergence (www.creativeemergence.com). My passion includes awakening systems and the people within them to life - to become aware, engaged, and co-creative. Focus includes the personal (values, meaning, conceptual framework), emotional (heart, feelings, intuition), relational (intra and interpersonal dynamics, resonance), cognitive (brain/mind/intellect), somatic (body, how change moves through a system), systemic, cultural, and environmental aspects of personal and organizational creativity and emergent structures.
I am an abstract painting artist, performer of full length improvised plays with Precipice Improvisational Theater Company (www.precipiceimprov.com), and a CoreSomatics® Movement and Bodywork Master Practitioner. I'm interested in the arts, organizational systems, improv theory, integral theory, and the complexity sciences and how they work together as a cohesive creative whole in emergent systems. I founded and coordinate the Capitol Creativity Network (www.capitolcreativitynetwork.com) and Quantum Leap Business Improv in Washington, DC. Blog: www.fertileunknown.com
Favorite exchange in a movie, The Life of Brian:
Brian to a crowd of followers: “You are all individuals.”
Crowd of followers, in unison: “Yes, we are all indivduals.”
One lone guy in the crowd: “I'm not.”
