- Please share something about yourself, your work, and what draws you to the ALIA community.
- I have a lifelong curiosity about what brings learning environments to life. I've approached this question from a number of angles--as classroom teacher of children and adults, as student of Buddhist meditation and the Shambhala vision of enlightened society, as editor for the Naropa Institute (now University), as curriculum designer for the Nova Scotia departments of Health and Education, and as one of the founding members of the ALIA Institute.
I am currently director of the ALIA Institute--a role which is constantly evolving. I am grateful to be part of such an inspired, engaged, and diverse community of fellow travelers.

Peter Hayward Jones said… - Hi Susan - I look forward to meeting you in Columbus. I think your welcome note to me showed up when I was vacationing in Vancouver Island. I started the Toronto Design with Dialogue, with good friend Greg Judelman and joining his interest in Art of Hosting with my background in systems and Structured Dialogue. We've been collaborating ever since at OCAD and at http://designwithdialogue.com You should join us there when you can, second Wed every month 6-9.

- Hi Susan! Thank you for the welcome. I live right in downtown Columbus and am indeed attending the summer institute! I am so excited. My father, a physician in Columbus, has been associated with ALIA for a while now and I became interested through all the wonderful experiences he has told me about. He is attending the summer institute as well, along with my mother, a social worker.

Bob Stevens said… Hi Susan,
Excellent question to be sure! I think sanity in leadership has a lot to do with understanding hope and fear and leading from a vantage point beyond both -- i.e. simply inspiring, communicating and organizing what needs to be done free from heavy investment in ego.
