About

Perhaps I'm being too British, but I want to apologise for having chosen 'superconnector' as my username in a network like this.  Truth is, 'connector' was taken, and I didn't see that I'd be publicly stuck with it.  Ah well - I guess I'll just have to accept it as a prompt to action!


OK - so apologies out of the way - here's who I am.

My 'mission' is to support learning that reconnects human behaviour with life to secure a rich future for generations to come.  I live as closely as I can to the values that support this mission, and have the following ‘natural talents’ to offer:  a) deep curiosity that brings steady learning for me and others; b) a playful mind that connects wide ranging ideas to create new opportunities c) a compulsion to build relationship with others that creates strong networks. 

 

I listen and learn constantly, and mentor people when they invite me to. I facilitate group processes and meetings, and have a wonderfully rich set of connections to people, organisations and thinking that can be very useful in helping people to get to elusive practical solutions. I also find that I can be a helpful 'tutor' - not by providing lots of answers, but by asking good questions that help people to find their own keys.

 

I've beein involved in a variety of membership organisations for around 15 years, and 'responsible business' for around 12.    In all that time, I've consistently wondered why things 'have to be' any particular way.  

 

I think we're in the midst of a massive shift in human understanding and that right now, we're in the most chaotic part of the change process.  The old order is more and more disrupted, and vast creative energy is being unleashed to make sense of what is to come. 

 

We mapped pretty much all of the physical geography of the globe, and since the internet was built, we're now able to start mapping the social networks and thinking around the globe.  The irony is that it's so easy now to create a network, and so many people are driven to be connectors, that the connecting actually gets harder/more fragmented.  That's why I'm such a fan of this site, which I think has phenomenal potential.

To play my part in helping connect the connectors and make sense of the patterns which will allow us to settle into a new way of thinking and being, I'm hoping to encourage all the members of the three networks I'm involved with to become a part of Wiserearth.  

 

I don't think we need to invent more fixes.  I think we need to make the most of our differences and all that we already have by focusing on shared purposes.

Dear Mike,

 

It was wonderful to read your profile and know about your work connecting people, ideas and both. I think we share the same passion. Would love to connect with you.

 

Also wanted to thank you for promoting WiserEarth in three of your networks. I share with you the thought that this platform and community called WiserEarth has some huge potential to defrag the movement.

 

Hoping for more conversation and collaboration here and beyond.

 

With kind regards,

Bowo

WiserEarth Chief Editor
