Who is it for?
Leaders who are ready
Individuals, Groups, Businesses who are looking for integration - something that puts it all together.
There is so much new information arriving fast and thick about food and aging and innovation and productivity.
How does it fit together?
What to listen to?
What to ignore?
Ownership is about you taking a step back to understand how you got separated from yourself, from what you need, from what you value. And then learning the way you describe your situation to yourself informs the imagined outcome, and the tools your imagined outcome can use to become reality.
There were patterns in our schooling, in our medical and legal systems, in our cultures and religions that separated us from our own self-acceptance and gave them the authority to say we did a good job or a bad job, whether we were worthy or sufficient.
This is a chance to see the patterns and to determine your own sufficiency and see that we are intrinsically resourced. As such, we can set down some fear and lean towards some solutions that were closer than we realized.
set down fear / pick up new solutions
Leaders who are ready are from all walks of life, and may not be seen as ‘leaders’ in traditional leadership roles, and those in traditional leadership roles may not be ready for Ownership.
Leaders who are ready are ready to take new action, to listen to themselves, to pause and reflect on a new way of thinking rather than perpetuating the status quo. Create the co-op preschool, request a Rest Room so naps can be part of the culture, take your meeting outside for a walk, look squarely at what really didn’t work on the last project, take responsibility, and communicate lessons learned so that others aren’t afraid of being seen as failures.
If you are a leader who is ready, if this calls to you, if you want to integrate the way you
learn
move
collaborate
because you recognize that you aren’t just your mind or your work or your time or your body, but you are all of the above with intimacy and importance.
If this is you, then you can take Ownership with me on your own. You can contact me and we can start right away and it will be custom-fit to your curiosity and your circumstances.
This is me. I want to Take Ownership
Groups within groups
Or maybe you are a group within a group, a couple inside a culture, a team within a division, a division within a department... all the ways we divide ourselves and organize can serve to separate us so we are constantly asking for resources or permission, or it can add up to a
Powerful collective.
Groups within groups are powerful. Erica Chenowith and Maria Stephan conducted a ground-breaking study of resistance movements in the twentieth and twenty first centuries. One key finding is that it takes just 3.5 percent of a population getting active - talking beyond department boundaries, initiating new cross-cultural meetings, talking with leadership, getting informed - for a shift to be enacted.
Create a shift.
You are already part of a group, a family, a nation, a company. That gives you an allegiance, a shared understanding of what progress means.
And then, inside that group, you make another group and this is now doubly powerful, doubly impactful on the group as a whole.
A community within a community of leaders who are ready.
This is who Ownership is for.
Who Runs Ownership
For INDIVIDUALS
The only thing we truly own is ourselves, our reactions, our perspective. When we take ownership of ourselves we lay claim, we gather in, we revere who we are irregardless of external conditions.
All our lives we have placed our power and our acceptance in the hands of Others - teachers, family, doctors, lawyers. We are told how to dress, to work, how to schedule our time.
We trade our authority for acceptance. This leads to a separation from our own choices, our own needs. We develop a misalignment, wondering why we are doing what we’ve been told and yet we are unfulfilled.
Taking ownership means saying to ourselves - at any given moment - this is mine, this moment, my response, my choice, my past, my future, this is mine.
We learn how to be in congruence with where we are and who we are.
We reclaim health and power.
We take Ownership of our significance.
No one else can.
Working 1:1 means you and I can discuss directly where you want to make change. We personalize the Ownership material to your circumstances and you can feel the shift.

Intense, direct, and effective.
We integrate your story and the course material each call.

Personalized change.
We personalize the Ownership material to your circumstances and you can feel the shift in real time. Intense, direct, and effective. We integrate your story and the course material each call. invites a chance to see both our differences and what we share.
Our circumstances have influenced who we are. As we work through the course material, Ownership invites us to see the structures and systems that are lifelong outer influences. And then we learn of new ways to think for ourselves.
New science. New research.
We get to choose to influence ourselves.
Working in a group, we can hear of the experience of others. We learn their ways aren’t always our ways. We learn to dissolve the assumption that we all have the same response. At the same time, we learn that we are not alone in our experiences. We find a new language of trust - in ourselves and in the chance to hear from others.
New language of trust.
This exchange knits the group together. Learning new things together, laughing or crying, there is an opening that reminds us how individuals make the collective, and together we can shift the texture of where we are and what we want.
Gather your group and I can meet you there.

For BUSINESS TEAMS
A corporation is a structure.
The structure is held stable through agreements between levels of people, departments, and across disciplines. These structures can mimic outer histories unknowingly.
equal opportunities for genders.
flexible time.
management expectations.
As our outer systems are unraveled, corporate structures can follow suit and create an environment of xxxx rather than becoming systems held in history.
Work / life are more and more blurred.
Tend to your life and your work will blossom.
Next-level innovation involving the whole body.
Optimizing our cycles and personal alignment to seasons. The mind has been mined from edge to edge. This is a time when new replies are needed more than ever. Involving the body accesses answers available beyond mental cognition. Move in new ways means being available to new information in new ways.
Work as a place of ‘higher learning’ = employee trust and investment through tough times.
Corporations have the potential to be a regenerative ecosystem
Versus monocropping (constantly expecting crops) - regenerative, help the helpers, can’t always be summer
Better self-regulation means more skillful and valued autonomy, less scrutiny,
This the principle of regenerative production.
Together we can redefine what it means when we say "This is working."
