Lindsey Godwin – alongside her wonderful team at the Cooperrider Centre – announced a theme of Thriving Together for a three-day online AI Jam. It was designed to gather even more voices around the world and further co-create new ways for bringing AI into the challenges of our times.
We gathered for three days from April 21 – 23 – a tremendous example of thriving together online.
We began with a session from the wonderful Transformation Catalyst, Michele Hunt, author of DreamMakers: Innovating for the Greater Good on ‘exploring love as the core leadership value and organising principle for business and society’.
“Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person, but an attitude, an orientation of character that determines the relatedness of a person to the world as a whole.”
(Eric Fromm, in the endnotes of Joe Jaworski’s Synchronicity).
Keith Storace also shared one of his beautiful poems. 
We were delighted to be part of a dialogue panel of thought catalysts on the first day of the AI Jam – called Dynamic Dialogues with Global AI Practitioners: Tojo Thatchenkery, David Shaked and Suzanne Quinney, facilitated by Ron Fry.
