Hi Linda,?
Your use of the words emergent, intersectional, and liberating caught my attention.?

I've been taken with the work of on developing a Liberatory Consciousness. Her website might offer some help on framing of goals and reflection practice questions that can help push the boundaries of current experience.?

My other feedback may be less welcome, but I feel compelled to voice it gently. I hear a tension in what you are asking for: emergent goals (complexity aware), new intersectionality, and widespread participation but also not wanting to take a bunch of time. Yes, navigating time zones needs to be done, but I'm not sure it's realistic to open up people's thinking, get broader and non-siloed ideas and coordination, and regular meaningful engagement without taking significant time and reflection. You are talking about deep shifts and expanding shifts, within individuals and within an organization--expecting that can be accomplished via only light touches that are mostly asynchronous seems like a poor match to what you are seeking. Moving at the speed of trust, lifting up relationships, paying attention to process--these are the things that allow people to move into expansive, liberatory and new spaces and to do so together, across siloes. I would urge you to work with consultants to design a process for this kind of change that suits your organization and the specific experience you are seeking. You are up to something that can be transformative if done with true reflective practice and prioritized with time and engagement.?

Good luck! It's sounds like such worthwhile work.
