Collecting

I use this website to collect, and eventually syndicate, my thoughts and interesting links.

  1. The Blueprint for System Change | Ash Sarkar Meets Extinction Rebellion Founder Roger Hallam

    An absolute surprise banger of a strategy and design podcast. So many sparks of ideas and quotes:

    When you're developing a strategy you have to do some sub optimal things to get to a better place

    Shut up and listen

    • Remote enables a diverse audience
    • The power of listening
    • Nonviolent Communication
    • Present something » move to a breakout space » do something… but NO q&a
    • Building solidarity with people (in-person) by embodied ‘doing’
    • Create a pathway to action – The Steps Collective
    • Breakout groups FTW: create empowerment by enabling everyone gets time to speak – Liberating Structures
    • A social conditioning that other people are disposable (similar topic in a recent Trashfuture
    • First pancake theory: accepting that your first try at something is going to be crap
    • Growth comes from working through the hard stuff
    • Sortition
    • Delegate conferences aren’t designed to foster deeper connection or change - Reminds me of a conversation with James Lang when curating Research by the Sea

    Props to Tom Scott for the recommendation.
