Creating Islands of Sanity
Today we are confronted by global circumstances that challenge all of us in deeply personal ways. The rate of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity confronting us is unprecedented. In this conversation, we will connect with author Margaret Wheatley to reflect on the possibility of creating islands of sanity.
The opening line of Meg’s book “Who Do We Choose To Be” reads:
In a world we cannot recognize, how do we find a way forward? In this world we do not understand, how do we know what to do?
When so little is comprehensible, what is meaningful work, what is genuine contribution?

Presenter Bio
Margaret Wheatley, Ed.D. began caring about the world’s peoples in 1966 as a Peace Corps volunteer in post-war Korea. As a consultant, senior-level advisor, teacher, speaker, and formal leader, she has worked on all continents (except Antarctica) with all levels, ages, and types of organizations, leaders, and activists. Her work now focuses on developing and supporting leaders globally as Warriors for the Human Spirit. These leaders put service over self, stand steadfast through crises and failures, and make a difference for the people and causes they care about. With compassion and insight, they know how to invoke people’s inherent generosity, creativity, kindness, and community–no matter what’s happening around them.
Margaret has written ten books, including the classic Leadership and the New Science, and been honored for her pathfinding work by many professional associations, universities, and organizations. She received her Doctorate from Harvard University in 1979, an M.A. in Media Ecology from NYU in 1974, and a B.A. from University of Rochester in 1966. She spent a year at University College London 1964-65. Her website is designed as a library of free resources as well as information about products and her speaking calendar. www.margaretwheatley.com
