I'll answer my own question, just to get the thread started. In my thesis, I want to talk about:
innerwork self-awareness non-dualism systems thinking transition from innerwork to outerwork change management relationship with creativity compassion aligning actions with values developing vision much more.... PS - Just to let you know, I had trouble getting the wiki to let me add comments. I had to click on Comments first, then Add a Comment from that page. If you have trouble, you may try this.

Coleman, your photograph is stunning and Tycho and Ariel, it is so nice to see your names again.
Way to go Mark! How about a little Authentic Leadership soiree in NY; Boulder is kind of far for us easterners. I recently attended a workshop with Arawana; it was exceptional. There will be another one in April and I highly recommend it. I will be attending the Presence Workshop in Boston, thanks to a lovely scholarship. I have become a consultant member of Sol and joined their coaching community. I will be meeting the other coaches in December. I will report back about the workshop and Sol coaches. I hope you are well and I send you much love.

Mark, et al
I found the articles in the AL course to be provocative and though-provoking and am hoping that there might be a way for AL graduates to purchase rights to download and read new material that is added to the course. I do hope that you can find a way. Joel Mandel |

Ordinary Leadership (attached article by Susan Skjei) begins with an intimate knowledge of who we are and a willingness to open up to our world in stead of controlling it. (It is ordinary) ..because it is available to each one of us on the spot. … it is simple yet demanding, because it requires the ability to let engage and let go at the same time.
The antidote to (the existing problems with leadership) is vulnerability, telling the truth, and honoring what is genuine. Being a leader is lonely. Not just because it’s ‘lonely at the top’ but because we are willing to stay open to problems, experience them fully and see how we are contributing to them rather than laming anyone else, This is our strength and power. We can understand fully because we are engaged and not separate. …. We don’t have ot manipulate anything; we simply have to liberate any fixtion that is occurring moment to moment. It is a dance, not a march. |

Many of us have attempted, like Joan, (see attached story) to apply our learning form the AL course, when we returned home to our workplace. Yet, something seems to interfere with the intention and discipline developed during the AL course. I, for example, meditated every day during the course but lost this practice shortly after returning home. Others may have found their organizations unreceptive to their ‘pleas to be heard’ or not supportive of a ‘beginners’ attempt to be more authentic.
Marpa Society’s goal is to provide a more intimate and focused interchange and sharing of stories and ideas than might be available from traditional sources. In order to build content on the site we are requesting Society members tell stories and provide reactions and ideas in response to Joan’s and fellow students requests. And, from our interchanges in both place and space a practice of authenticity will evolve to enrich all of our lives. While the story is a composite of selected experiences from my work life, I am hopeful it will elicit reactions which range from 'OH yes I have had a simiilar expereince' to ' I have the following idea to help Joan to here is my story and my request for help. |

First of all Thanks Mark & Susan, I'm not sure if this is the place for my post but the timing of this site and my issue seems to fall into a special category of consilience that makes me bold to offer up the following problem to your comunity. I would be grateful for any helpful comments:
How does one know when they are at the point where leaderships limits are running into unrealistic expectations? In January we recently lost a valuable employee due to her fiancee's relocation. Now I have come to realize that she was clearly doing a yeomens share of the workload. Of the remaining staff members one seems to be an emerging problem. At first, he complained that I created unrealistic expectations. Although, in retrospect, it was more likely that I was merely assuming his abilities at least matched his younger less experienced counterpart who had left. Consequently I modified the method and asked him to provide his own day plans so I could manage my expectations for workflow. The fact is he is not even able to come close to achieving his own work day plans. He has to be reminded each day and moreover makes me feel as if I'm being onerous for asking . It is frustrating me greatly because after several months I am facing the disturbing possibility that the rest of us have been working to pay his salary for the past two years. He sounds so articulate but its beginning to look like a cover for ineffectiveness. to be continued in a comment

This seems like a great idea. Potencially a way for us to stay connected.
Questions: 1. What is your motivation for participating in this site? 2. What is your resistance to participating in this site? I need to contemplate these questions myself. Let me know if you have any thoughts. Warm regards, Coleman

Fantastic! We were just dicussing creating something similar in our staff meeting today and now, how perfect my first wiki experience is with the Marpa Center. A good sign for Dance Camera West's movement forward. Lynette
