Sowing Seeds<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In Janine Benyus\u2019 book Biomimicry, Innovation Inspired by Nature<\/em>, she states that \u201cnature doesn\u2019t change, it creates new in the midst of what is.\u201d This belief is foundational to TimeZero\u2019s approach. Rather than go up against the inertia of an organizational system and try to change it, we look for those \u201cglimmers of flourishing\u201d that illuminate where the seeds of transformation already exist, to help organizations nourish them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our “Sowing Seeds” blog highlights the seeds of flourishing we and our colleagues have encountered in our work with leaders, teams, organizations, and communities. It reflects a range of insights we have gained through our work and the work of others, which you can use in your own journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The struggle of nature is to be the least imperfect it can be.\u201d Consider how a river is continuously … Read more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A Lesson in Recharging<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
Last Wednesday morning I went out to start my car and realized that I had left the rear hatch open all night. Sure enough, the car wouldn\u2019t start because the battery was dead. Thanks to my husband, I got where I needed to go, and after being dropped off back home that evening, I called … Read more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The Wisdom is in the System \u2026 we just need to listen.<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
Have you ever been faced with what seem to be so many critical and competing priorities that you feel like you are either going in circles or frozen in place because you don\u2019t know where or how to start?
