Making a rough and ready pattern language as a creativity tool

April 20, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Art of Harvesting, Art of Hosting, Collaboration, Conversation, Facilitation, Featured, First Nations, World Cafe One Comment

Just finished out first day of work with Navajo Area Health Promotion practitioners and 30 community wellness workers, Elders and healers from across the Navajo Nation.  We are blending an Art of Hosting workshop with content and process from  some recent research in neuroscience, epigenetics, and adverse childhood experiences and with wellness and leadership models from our Navajo colleagues with whom we have a ten year relationship. One of the pieces of work we are doing is supporting these folks in launching or accelerating some community based projects using the social networks they have in place here.  This will involve …

Asking for help

April 18, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Collaboration, Featured, Leadership, Learning One Comment

I’m in New Mexico this week where we will be back together with our colleagues from the Navajo Nation, working together to keep finding collaborative ways to address health and wellness and community resilience in the Navajo Nation.  Doing this is an ongoing skill and practice.  There are no answers, only different situations that require us to keep working together. A key skill in being able to address issues you don’t know anything about is to stop and ask for help. My friend Tenneson Woolf, with whom I spent the last weekend in Salt Lake City, sometimes tells a useful …

Sharing our vulnerabilities

April 13, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Being, Featured One Comment

Over the past few days several friends of mine have blogged pieces that capture their vulnerable moments.  I don’t know what it is about the timing of things, but here are a few posts that talk openly about daily struggles that people face.  It is a litany of honesty and thoughtfulness from people who otherwise need to project a more solid image to the world. Laurie Kingston, an old friend from university days has been blogging for years about her life with cancer.  A couple of weeks ago, she published a letter about where she is in her journey which …

New version of the chaordic stepping stones

March 18, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Design, Featured, Organization

Over many years I have been using the chaordic stepping stones as the basis for all work I do with clients.  This is a tool that I first heard of in the Art of Hosting community in about 2004.  It was originally based on the chaordic lenses that Dee Hock developed to design organizations that took advantage of both order and chaos.  It has been useful and rich and created all kinds of outcomes that would not have been possible other wise.

  This morning we began our Harvesting and Collective Sensemaking online course.  Rowan Simonsen, Amy Lenzo and I were really excited to be able to share our first little insights with people, and especially this new mnemonic that we created to capture five key principles of harvesting practice: PLUME. We are excited to introduce this into the world.
