Welcome!
As one way of introducing myself, I'll summarize how I learned, and am learning, about organizational life and leadership.
I learned organizational and systems creation in three phases of my career:
(a) as participant in non-living systems for twenty years as a teacher
(b) as a creator of a living system, a small business with national affiliates: Women Writing for (a) Change, LLC.
(c) as a consultant attempting to support organizations and leaders in transition from "old thinking (organizations are machines) to "new thinking' (organizations are living systems)
My writing life keeps me in regular touch with creating systems. A writer is by nature a creator of living systems---unless she or he is writing formula fiction or propaganda
To learn more about how and why I do what I do in the world, you can read the essays and poems on this site, my occasional blog entries. I invite you to learn about the organization I founded in 1991, out of which much of what I carry into the world comes, by clicking on

"Oh, how I dream of a time when futile culture wars with their propaganda machines are marginalized by a profusion of culture incubators able to nurture a rich diversity of truth and meaning." (Women Writing for (a) Change: A Guide for Creative Transformation, p. 142.)
In her insightful debut book, Mary Pierce Brosmer shares the unique method of writing that she developed as founder and director of Women Writing for (a) Change, a nationwide organization that teaches women and girls to nurture the conscious feminine voice within them.
Imaginative exercises, helpful examples, and provocative anecdotes enables people explore writing not just as a means of individual self-examination and expression, but also as a way to create and effect positive social change.
