Many of us are waiting. We’re playing it safe, not taking any risks, putting off our next big steps, the transformations we long to make in our lives and work, until the winds of global economic change die down. We’ve locked the doors, boarded up the windows, and headed down into the basement. But the […]
Humanility
Another quality of the visionary, along with presence, truth telling, discernment, wisdom, etc., is a combination of empathy and humility that I call humanility. Being humble is to be free from false pride and arrogance. It does not mean lacking confidence or being falsely self-deprecating, for it rests on a clear sense of the truth […]
Rescuing Gaia
For years, at World Future Society meetings and elsewhere, NASA scientists and other climate experts have been urging professional futurists to heed the call to action: Our climate is changing at an unnatural, accelerated pace that if unchecked will have disastrous consequences. They woke us up to how bad things already were and how bad […]
The Age of Greatness
Seth Godin wrote an insightful blog post once about the recession and the likely path of the recovery. Although one kind of recession is cyclical, he points out, another is not. Jobs lost to outsourcing and jobs that have become automated are not coming back. Attempting to re-create those jobs is nothing more than “a race […]

Obviously, women are still underpaid and vastly underrepresented in positions of power, although this is […]
Presence and Invisibility
The phenomenon of growing increasingly invisible as we age, and using that invisibility to empower us and others to be change agents, is related deeply with the visionary attribute I discussed in “Unwrapping Your Presence” and “Stop, Look, and Listen”. The invisible power to fly under the radar and quietly lead change, which I talk […]
Hotter Times Ahead
For me the letting go has been bittersweet this midsummer. One of my most loved and revered mentors, Marion Woodman, has passed on after several years in the throes of dementia. If you have not heard of her, it’s high time you did. Marion was one of the western-world’s most impactful wisdom keepers in feminine psychology and addiction…she […]
A Small Encounter
Once I received a response to a Future Works Gazette request on the theme Your Story Matters, I received the following wonderful story from Dorothy Meyers about an eye-opening encounter at the grocery store. She has graciously given me permission to share her story with you all. I hope you will find it as inspiring as I did in […]
Equal Work for Equal Pay
As many of you know, Equal Pay themes are an opportunity to refocus on the gender gap in pay between women and men. It’s hard to believe that even in 2018, U.S. women are still earning annually between 52 and 79 cents for every dollar men earn for the same jobs, with black women and […]
