After decades working within organizations pointing out the emperor has no clothes, I realize no one wants an emperor. It's time to focus my skills and experience making large-scale change to catalyze a societal shift. The social revolution isn't only needed in distant lands. It's needed under our feet, wherever we stand. My books and my work with people across the globe focuses on the change in our midst and the chance we have to make a difference.

Called by some a "blank page systems architect," serving as senior counsel to executives, corporations, politicians, governments, non-governmental organizations, and schools, I work with big-vision leaders, impact entrepreneurs, and unreasonable thinkers, ready to use their superpowers for good.

Remote Work by the Numbers

In 2012 I collected all the data I’d collected about social business (e2.0, enterprise social networks, whatever you want to call it) and posted it in one place for others making a case in their work to launch such a platform.

Quotes by Marcia Conner (?)

“We define learning as the transformative process of taking in information that, when internalized and mixed with what we have experienced, changes what we know and builds on what we can do. It’s based on input, process, and reflection. It is what changes us.”
― Marcia Conner, The New Social Learning: A Guide to Transforming Organizations Through Social Media

tags: change, experience, learning, learning-process, reflection, transformation

“Training often gives people solutions to problems already solved. Collaboration addresses challenges no one has overcome before.”

“This is the thing no one prepares you for where disaster are concerned. There is no ominous black cloud, no spooky chill, no neon sign that flashes: Stop! Please! Go back to bed! There's something really really dreadful waiting to happen around the corner! I beg of you, do not continue!”

“In my experience nobody gets to lead a totally charmed existence. Nobody escapes the pitfalls of being a human being. It’s what seperates us from the zebras. Or that’s my theory anyway”

“If we are all going to have tragedies, if none of us can escape them, then surely we have to learn from them, we have to gain something. And we have to use what we have gained. Those of us who have fought tooth and nail to overcome tragedy are, after all, nothing else, proof that such things can be survived. So we can actually help others survive their tragedies too. As long as they’ll let us.”
― Sarah-Kate Lynch, On Top of Everything

Hi Marcia ... it's interesting the paths we take as change agents. Mine has veered off in to fiction ... young adult fiction no less.

I am just now publishing a young-adult, fantasy novella titled Sarana's Gift. I would be happy to send you a free, pre-publication pdf copy if you would like to read it ... and, perhaps, review it.

Tagline: It seems like such a simple story ... but is it?

You can read more about it here:

Hope all is well with you.
