Principles for flowing finances

February 4, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Collaboration, Practice

I work with lots of colleagues and in general the flow of money is pretty straightforward.   With some fiends though, we often sit with each other and think about what else we could do with the economy.   Being clear about money is a life practice – in North American culture money holds all kinds of traps for energy between people. My friend Tenneson Woolf has just blogged on this and he and his colleagues from a recent workshop worked these principles: Whereas the old model for these decisions is more transactional, the new model is energetic. It is …

Certainty

December 16, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Art of Hosting, Collaboration, Emergence, Facilitation, First Nations, Leadership, Practice One Comment

A combination of quotes from two different emails today on certainty. First from Ashley Cooper, quoting Daniel Sielgel: “When we are certain we don’t feel the need to pay attention. Given that the world around us is always in flux, our certainty is an illusion.” And then this, from Tenneson Woolf, who currently has my copy of Tsawalk: A Nuu-Chah-Nulth Worldview. From that books is this is a story of Keetsa, an Ahousaht whaling chief who runs into trouble when the space is no longer held for him: Every protocol had been observed between the whaling chief and the spirit …

Working with core teams

November 20, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Art of Hosting, Collaboration, Flow

One of the patterns emerging from our work in the Art of Hosting, is the practice of developing and supporting a core team that can collectively hold the bigger work that is being done. At the moment I am working consciously with the core team pattern at VIATT, with the WK Kellogg Foundation Food and Society Conference, with the Quinault Indian Nation on a tribal strategic plan and with smaller conferences and gatherings, including one next week – a conference exploring collaboration in the child welfare and family services practice field.   On that one we have been working with …

Euan defines the bottom line

November 9, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Collaboration, Leadership

Tahola, Washington From Euan: Management is becoming about noticing and enabling rather than driving and controlling.Get yourselves a big melting pot of different social tools that engender different conversations and expressions of intent from your staff, watch like a hawk, spot the cool stuff, fan the flames and then protect the baby shoots from your spoilers. Nice.
