Share a little about yourself!

I'm ready to sock it to climate change! (And i acknowledge that Climate Change is both a symptom of clunky thinking and an opportunity to deeply understand concepts of interconnectedness)

I’ve got the hots for web-based interaction that is community and participation-centric that empowers users to 'network' their butts off. I am also interested how deep that networking can be.

I can now call myself a Social Entreprenuer, because i looked it up on wikipedia, and it describes all other 'stuff' I do. Now, thanks to the Hikurangi foundation, I am paid to do this a couple of days a week for Intersect.

I currently serve as the chair of the Sustainability Trust. Our trust enables people to adopt new sustainable behaviours. www.sustaintrust.org.nz

I helped to establish a young professionals network for young(ish) people who are passionate about cultural transformation and sustainability. www.Intersect.ning.com

My favourite things about the ‘new world’ that I see emerging around me today; a culture of care, new and remembered social processes, the opportunities for connection and meaning that the quest for ‘sustainability’ creates, deeply happy people who hold complexity with grace.

I also love the ukulele. It is a significant part of creating a happier world. www.ukulele.co.nz

What are you passionate about?

Strategic Communication Design, Networking, Behaviour Change, Online Community, Organisational Learning, Creative Process, Social Innovation, Regeneration, Consciousness Raising, Ukulele, Harmonisin', Sock Monkeys

What qualities / skills do you want to share?

I like to think, I like to meditate and muse. I like to problem solve, design and innovate and sing. I like to play. I am a learner and a practitioner of change. I am happy to share my knowledge with others, although I am also struggling with 'fingers-in-too-many-pies syndrome" so best not try to recruit me for any project.

To you, what are the most important issues we face as a species?

One Planet, one people, please:
Understanding interconnectedness, and starting to run this world as global citizens. This probably means global governance, as much as it means local governance.

Us=Them:
Understanding the relationship between micro and macro - that is what is happening 'out there' is a direct manifestation of what is happening in our 'inner life' (she points at self)

Developing Sense-Ability:
Grappling with the more subtle forces that operate in the world, and learning to trust and engage with these. (Nope, don't know what this is, but i think we might need to turn our brains off to understand this one, and start working with what we sense).

Play:
Playfulness puts us in a joyful state of possibilities and dreams. I think we need to spend more time in this state.

That will do for this generation...
