  • A Better World

    A Better World

    I have two main offers. On the one hand, I talk about tech ethics with companies and organizations. On the other, I do the foundational work of coming to terms with our places in the world. Here’s how those two things come together.

  • Your (My) True Calling

    I had so much success with last year’s projects prompted by Quest 2016, that I’ve decided to do it again. Join us at http://quest2017.com. Today’s prompt is from Krista Tippett (1). As the host of On Being, she challenges us regularly to consider the mysteries of human existence. “What is your vocation, your sense of callings…

  • Two Stories

    Quest2016 Prompt #12 What’s the story you most desire to bring to life in 2016? What’s the story your just-right client most desires to bring to life in 2016? Where do your two stories overlap? Today’s (okay, technically last month’s) prompt comes via Jen Louden, a wise sage, and generally helpful for providing guides to living.…

  • How to Weigh What Matters

    “Life” seemed to be the clear answer. Until I thought about it more, and it wasn’t.

  • I Shall Stop Flapping My Hands

  • If I Couldn’t Fail…

    How would you do business as unusual in 2016 if you knew – no matter what you chose – you would not fail? #Quest2016 @debbiemillman I would be profligate! I would not be frugal with my time or my resources. I would not even be merely generous. I would give away my ideas, cast them to…

  • It’s All Life

    You will be pleased to hear that I signed up for a writing challenge to lay out the Quest for 2016 over the course of the month of December. (I presume you will be pleased, since you are bothering to read. If you are not pleased, please pass by. We are a hedge.) It’s not…

  • Five Years and Thirty Courses Later

    After several years of false starts, I finally finished a project for my business and launched it. Now I’m afraid to tell anyone. If you have been around a while, you probably know that I’ve set off down several paths of self-employment, but eventually balked, changed my mind, and started over. I have hinted at…

  • Re-Presentation

    I used this title for a unit I once designed on hybrid learning. We (as instructors/artists/writers) gather information, and knowledge, and patterns, and meta information about how we validate the information, and knowledge, and patterns. Then we turn it back out into the world, re-presenting (representing. Or if you’re all post-structural, (re)presenting.) “This is the world…
