Another couple of very provocative recent posts around "mindset". This is a great place to come if you want your locked in thinking to get a jolt into new ways of looking at things.

This is beautiful work. For me this is the work for our planet. Stumbled onto the newsletter and you both yesterday. I have hardly done anything but read, chuckle, nod, wow, applause. Thank you.

Makes my head hurt—in a good way! Love the challenge of helping young people use the Emergent Futures approach to invent a world we don’t know yet.

1yRead with interest as always. I need a clear head and a strong coffee- no distractions! The bit I liked that best was the part talking about relations. I describe this as the magic happening when colleagues join the dots- rather than the more obvious dots and the Board they join upon. So like edge cases and fractals. Have I understood this correctly? If so then what I think we've spotted is by providing just the right number and kind of dots (~6 to 8) and create the conditions in which people want to share the connections (environment, props, facilitation) then group comprehension spikes disproportionately. Is that a possibility? Either way I will re-read as it's a fascinating topic. Thanks for the depth of thinking that goes into these. I'm stocking up on the strongest coffee in prep for future weeks!
