Participants learned how to read patterns in a situation, [...]

This core is seldom questioned. It’s often deliberately masked, hidden and denied, because to face it always means change–a change we don’t want to face. A change [...]

A Circle of Viewpoints

By Kurt On June 10, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Only seeing things from one point-of-view locks and predetermines what the reactions and responses will be, even when things have fundamentally changed. But seeing something from multiple viewpoints deepens understanding and shifts thinking. Other ways of seeing things increases possibilities.

If there ever was a time we need more possibilities and options – it is [...]

I grew up on a ranch, working both ends of a cow, but I realized early on I was not cut out for that kind of life. So, to my father’s great disappointment, I followed the only course I knew would work for me and went into the field of design. I earned a Bachelor [...]
