What You Gain When You Give Up Control

Whether I'm working with clients, communities, or my own kids - the art of engaging diverse stakeholders to create sustainable futures is applicable in so many domains.

I loved doing this interview "What You Gain When You Give Up Control" with Sami Packard. We explored how applying co-creation techniques from my professional practice transformed our family's summer planning from chaos to collaboration. The result? My 15-year-old discovered his first job, my 10-year-old chose adventures that fit her needs, and I gave up some control. We all grew.

Special shoutout to Sami - your talent for helping people see themselves is remarkable. As Patricia Streeper once wisely told me, fish can't see water, but Sami has a gift for taking the messy and making it so clear.
