Organizational Democracy

On Wednesday I was asked what are some things that excite me. It’s an exciting week:

• Thursday: I posted a profile/interview I did with Jesse Engle for cooperBricolage — this is a basic form of business storytelling,
• Friday: I saw OMFM (One Million Forgotten Moments) — a street performance with 100 performers. Yehuda, who directed it, had told me in 2001 about a similar performance he’d done in 2000, and I’d wanted to see it ever since.  (Update: Oh, it got reviewed in the New York Times!),
• Saturday and Sunday: hiking with friends in Harriman State Park,
• Monday: meeting with a client who’s taking initiative and making good progress,
• Tuesday: have a cooBric Comm meeting — this is the governance committee for cooperBricolage and I see my role as business storytelling to help express the values and vision of the community. Also am having dinner with an exciting gal,
• Wednesday: have a meeting related to the bylaws of a membership organization. I’m totally unsure where it’ll go, but eager to find out,
• Thursday: flying to work in Dublin on a fascinating project. Back in early October.
