Bio
An explorer and transferer of ideas by personal disposition and current vocation, I marvel at the way we have evolved as a human species in terms of how we handle new ideas. Sometimes we display an amazing amount of resilience and open-minded thinking, and at other times a profoundly disappointing lack of tolerance for things that challenge our personal and societal paradigms. I am a proud organizer with TEDxCalgary, given the gift of working with an amazing group of people who are equally passionate in their own ways about taking a journey through life where we keep our eyes, ears, and minds open, and wonder at the experience of it all.
I'm passionate about
Changing the way we live on the planet... how we lead in our environments (physical, social, political), our communities (physical and social), and our organizations.
An idea worth spreading
Pluralism... it's more important now than ever.
Areas of expertise
innovation, knowledge management, leadership, learning
The TED story
Introduced through a friend who found the site... I now know that there are fellow aliens on the planet who think differently about things! My ambition? To someday visit the TED mothership!
