Social Leadership in Practice
I’ve come down to Hood River, OR for the weekend to work on an idea that has two objectives. 1) to be an example of social leadership in practice and 2) to provide a resource about social leadership for those who are interested in… Continue Reading “Social Leadership in Practice”
Feedback is tough.
Feedback is tough. As part of the first edition of the Journal of the Social Age, a group of people volunteered to read and give feedback on submissions, as part of a peer review process. On paper, feedback should work, it’s pretty straightforward: read… Continue Reading “Feedback is tough.”
Building trust with a virtual team (as a nomad)
I’ve worked remotely now for most of my career, and as a nomad for the past two years. I’m currently working with a UK based start up, 18 months old. Though I’ve been working with this start up for 12 months now, I’ve been… Continue Reading “Building trust with a virtual team (as a nomad)”

I have a plan.
“I have a plan for the next two weeks.” I told my brother over Skype. “Baahahaha!” Actually out loud, he responded as if this was the most hilarious thing he’d ever heard. “What?!” I cut in, smiling, “Two weeks is good! It’s the most… Continue Reading “I have a plan.”
Singapore is for community
Singapore happens on different levels during this trip. One is a reinforcement, coming together of the Sea Salt team in person. I have been working with two members for six months and have only met them in person less than a handful of times,… Continue Reading “Singapore is for community”
