This is worrisome...

A generation ago, there was a real worry: privileged parents, those with time, education and money, were giving their kids access to the tools of the net while other kids were missing out on the we…

Absolutely love this. Thanks John Hagel for sharing.

The group calling themselves 'Dare' says they are using dance as an agent of change in a nation beset by conflict.

Yes. This. Organisations, creativity, living systems, living and working in harmony with life.

A traditional concept in organizational leadership is that people resist change, so the standard antidote is for strong leadership to manipulate change. Yet in this article, Margaret Wheatley upends this idea of control and shows that humans are similar to natural ecosystems with an inherent impulse...

Co-create, co-create, co-create. (You are anyway, but probably badly if you aren't aware of it. So check out these 12 principles from Meg Wheatley.)

I’m a sucker for principles, because principles help us to design and do what is needed and help us to avoid bringing pre-packaged ideas and one-size-fits-all solutions to every problem. And…

A summer internship with a difference! And you can be based anywhere in the world. Share widely!

[If you know a full-time student in need of a worthy summer project, please share with them...] Summer internships are a problem. Too often, you're working for free, doing very little of value and learning less. Two out of three...

Love this. Art as stress reduction therapy.

Whether you're Van Gogh or a stick-figure sketcher, a new Drexel University study found that making art can significantly reduce stress-related hormones in ...

When she wrote Frankenstein, it changed everything. A different style of writing. A different kind of writer. And the use of technology in ways that no one expected and that left a mark. Henry Ford did that. One car and...

A relative oldie, but a goodie.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TED...

“The future is already here—it’s just not very evenly distributed.” ~ William Gibson

Yes. This! This is how we need to be creating...

The best way to plan a house on a vacant piece of land is to move into a tiny shepherd's hut on a corner of the property. It's not fancy, and it's not comfortable, but you can probably stay there...

Love this short video about Denmark today. It applies to us all, wherever we live. Once you've watched it, let us know what/how recognising all that we share will change one thing you do/say/think this week.

We live in a time where we quickly put people in boxes. Maybe we have more in common than what we think? Introducing All That We Share. The English version.

Interesting perspective on the importance of connecting art and science from Walter Isaacson, who among other things has written biographies on Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci.

The most creative innovations of the digital age came from those who were able to connect the arts and sciences. They believed that beauty mattered. “I always thought of myself as a human...

"[Art] is the process by which, in imagining itself and the relation of individuals to one another and to it, a society comes to understand itself, and by understanding, discover its possibilities of growth." - Robert Penn Warren (see link for more). So how might we use art to elevate and distill a compelling vision and purpose for places, such as cities, counties and countries?

“[Art] is the process by which, in imagining itself and the relation of individuals to one another and to it, a society comes to understand itself, and by understanding, discover its possibil…

Is "heartfulness" an essential part of the way forward locally and globally? What do you think?

It should be no surprise that mindfulness has struck a strong chord with a contemporary audience and is well on its path to becoming a…

Creative genius comes from the unconscious; it's important to create an environment to support that. As Dylan said: "It’s nice to be able to put yourself in an environment where you can completely accept all the unconscious stuff that comes to you from your inner workings of your mind. And block yourself off to where you can control it all, take it down…"

“People have a hard time accepting anything that overwhelms them.”
