The hope of inner work to heal our aching world

I suppose it’s not surprising that on a day like today my thoughts turn not only to anguish in Ukraine in the present, but also to the horrors of the second world war, which has left scars all across my current homeland of France. As bombs fall on the terrified…

Cultivating our leadership: A new structure for a new world

I’d like to tell you about a change of ownership that we are working on here at Cultivating Leadership and talk about what it means to us-and perhaps even to you. As of next month, the four of us who started Cultivating Leadership won’t own it anymore. Some of you…

Living in the countryside

On some winter mornings, the sun glints off every frosted blade of grass, turning the whole property into a glittering jewel box. On some mornings, the mist gets trapped here by the river, and I can’t even see the beautiful ancient cedars at the end of the driveway. …

The point of parenting

The toddler squirmed in his mother’s arms. “No, no, no, noooooo!” he said, putting his newfound vocabulary to work. My friend-his mom-was a vision of calm, offering him this or that, coaxing him out of her arms so she could eat her soup to stave off the damp London chill…

Looking back over a decade of blogs

The days crawl but the years fly. Someone told me this as I was cradling newborn Naomi, bleary from lack of sleep and overwhelmed with what it meant to bring a human being into the world. It’s not so different with a new business-the early days of wondering how one…

Developing through Covid

I am typing these words on an airplane (!) at the end of my first overseas trip since March 2020. We have had three weeks in the US visiting family we have not seen in far too long. We have hugged and laughed and cried together. …

The creative act of relationship-ing

I have not felt very creative this pandemic season. Not writing much, not coming up with new ideas or new frameworks. Blinking into the world, locked down in my London flat. It wasn’t until a conversation with some lovely companions last week that I discovered one of the places my…

MindHACKS: Finding and using our gifts for thriving in complexity — Cultivating Leadership

Some of you will know that I’m now on the quest for the next book project. One idea I keep returning to is this one: We know that there are ways we humans are not well wired for complexity (see Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps and other books like that). I’ve spent…
