Know anyone who wants to think strategically about social power dynamics, leading, and the influence of stories?

Knowledge requires no key, but a closed mind cannot access it.

The educator’s challenge is to create the environment in which the closed mind can bloom.

Growing up Appalachian my grandfather said the worst things that can happen are a fox in the henhouse and a raccoon in the corncrib. Either is a disaster.
