Transformation and Fearlessness: Meg’s Calling
Dolores Hagen Event News 0
I love that there are no accidents in life. It’s no accident that I am able to serve with a wonderful Board of Directors at Silicon Valley Coaching Federation and no accident that I was asked to serve as a liaison to the Bay Area Coaches group to work on bringing a region-wide program and dynamic duo to the members, affiliates, and the general public in the Bay Area. True to my coaching nature, I became curious immediately about who Margaret Wheatley was. As an avid reader of things to grow the heart, mind and spirit, I bought three

Fearlessness: The Last Organizational Change Strategy
Dolores Hagen Event News 0
In 2008, Margaret Wheatley wrote an article titled Fearlessness: The Last Organizational Change Strategy. (You can find it on her website, www.margaretwheatley.com. Reading it three years later, not only are her observations hauntingly more relevant, they bring to mind Steve Jobs and why his leadership blasted Apple past Exxon/Mobil to become the most valuable company in the world. He was fearless. Certainly, he cared about quarterly performance as much as Rex Tillerson, but, as Margaret points out, it took fearlessness to place a higher priority on a strategy driven by quality and the values of people. Where Jobs was

When Change is Difficult, Greater Change May Be Needed
Dolores Hagen Event News 0
In reviewing Margaret Wheatley’s book, “Walk Out, Walk On,” I was delighted to discover a different perspective on times when change is difficult. Sometimes we’re so programmed in what we have done before that we believe there is no other way to deal with change. In her book, “Walk Out Walk On,” Margaret takes us on a journey to different countries. The stories are captivating to read. They show how people in these countries, faced with seemingly unsolvable problems have “walked out” of an impossibly difficult situation and “walked on” to discover new opportunities and ways of doing things. Many
