Getting in the same boat—establishing a new civic covenant
No single leader, organization or group can achieve a community’s goals on their own. We need each other. We must be in the same boat.
Being ruthlessly strategic
If we want our work and efforts to be relevant, significant and impactful to the communities and people we seek to serve, then we must make hard choices. Otherwise, what we do may sound good, even do good, but still not be on-target to what we set out to achieve—nor to what we need to do.
The urgent need for acts of loving kindness
As I travel the country, I hear people from all walks of life, from all political persuasions, from all faiths and incomes, lament the state of our nation.
What is the sense of our small effort?
The upheaval we’re experiencing—from a toxic public discourse to the airing of grievances to the gridlock on important issues—can feel overwhelming and make us feel so small. We can wonder, perhaps even worry, about the sense of our small efforts.
The agitation for intentionality—gaining meaning in a world filled with noise and confusion
None of us can change the world on our own, but we each can make our own contribution. The process of deepening your intentionality is about embracing the choices that stand before you.
