STRATEGY BY ITSELF IS NEVER ENOUGH
First, my bias. Admittedly as a coach I arrive with a strong interest in the well-being end of the spectrum: the question of how people sustain themselves amidst 24/7 demanding personal/professional lives and daunting global tasks is one I find compelling.
The subtext for both my practice as a Leadership Coach and Collaborative Evangelist as well as my course “Live Exchange: Authentic, Effective, Generative Communication” (LiveE for short!) in The MBA Design Strategy Program at California College of the Arts is the emerging zone of human centered research, design thinking and people to people skill sets within business: including emotional, collaborative and appreciative intelligence.
Too often professional dilemma’s are simply dilemma’s of communication. In a time when we are all being called to identify missing conversations, bridge professional turfs or speak for those without recourse to human speech these student writings lean into “business as usual” blending the poetic with the professional and surfacing “we are in this together” thinking.
The students in DMBA are working professionals - business people keen on the dovetailing of creative thinking and business.
This is our fourth year collaborating with Triple pundit. Enjoy these articles by my future thinking DMBA students.

The PROTAGANISTA
An ethos of eqivalency
The educators of Reggio Children, a system of 35 schools in Northern Italy, use this word to denote how even young children have the ethical right to be at the center of their learning and interpret their world. The same applies to adults.
The Protaganista is the main character in a story who faces challenges and seeks resolution. By design or by default they grapple with a meaning making process having several possible outcomes.
Different interpretations leads to different futures. A protaganista activates the designing capacity we each have to author a vision.
This vision or intention is the through-line to keeping us on-track through an odyssey replete with ambiguity and mistakes. It course corrects self-direction as we invent the future.
