Collaboration Blog: Productive Relationships
http://centercollaboration.blogspot.com/2010/04/productive-relationships.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. The happiest and saddest days of my life were experienced because of a change in my relationship to others. New relationships can be interesting, exciting, unexpected, make your heart sing, make you feel like skipping. And reconnecting with someone you care about can produce the same feelings. Loss or change in a relationship you count on makes your heart sink. The thought of losing this type of relationship creates a ball of tension in the pit of your stomach. We DO IT Better.

Collaboration Blog: May 2006
http://centercollaboration.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 30, 2006. It is hard to believe Memorial Day has just passed, and last January I had the intention of blogging twice per week. Where does the time go? What I do know is that the pace of our work and of our ideas is accelerating so I need to get in a routine of sharing our work with the world. Today, I will schedule blogging time in my Palm Pilot. Good intentions are just not enough to inspire sustainable change in the world. Posted by Donna Denio at 11:31 AM. View my complete profile.

Collaboration Blog: January 2006
http://centercollaboration.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 09, 2006. Design follows power (contrary to the popular belief that form follows function). An unexamined design repeats itself. The design process, and the systems, structures and artifacts designed, can equalize power. This is a lot to think about. If we could equalize the power equation, everyone could be free express thoughts, feelings and wisdom. Posted by Donna Denio at 9:53 PM. Tuesday, January 03, 2006. Our Center Elevator Speech. IT being what the Center does.) I kept saying ...

Collaboration Blog: September 2004

Monday, September 27, 2004. Before I add one more word, I need to thank Judy Hourihan for all of her support, help and technical assistance in creating our Center Collaboration Blog. Judy and I have had two "working dinners", and Judy has committed many additional hours "behind the scenes" to make our blog consistent with the Center web site, artfully designed by Mark Guarino. In addition to Judy and Mark, our work is supported by many others. I will introduce them all over the next several weeks. Winche...

Collaboration Blog: Generating Passionate Relationships
http://centercollaboration.blogspot.com/2010/06/generating-passionate-relationships.html
Friday, June 25, 2010. Relationships.how we feel about other people and how they feel about us.are so important, yet so difficult to express. It is an area of communication that seems to defy language. Somehow putting our feelings, especially positive feelings, into words feels inadequate, inappropriate, off-limits, scary. After confessing or professing our love, how can we ever face them again? We could stay married, keep our jobs, not hurt any ones. Excited to recieve, savor and count my valentines....

Collaboration Blog: When Wall Street's House of Cards Comes Crashing Down, Time to Rebuild on a Solid Foundation
http://centercollaboration.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-wall-streets-house-of-cards-comes.html
Wednesday, October 01, 2008. When Wall Street's House of Cards Comes Crashing Down, Time to Rebuild on a Solid Foundation. Having ideas become real through building is a routine experience for architects, contractors, masons and others in the steel-and-concrete building business. They find this close-to-miraculous occurrence barely worth talking about. You dream it, you draw it, you build it, you move on to the next project. LEGO SERIOUS PLAY allows us to share our ideas in a symbolic, three-dimensional ...

Collaboration Blog: June 2007

Tuesday, June 12, 2007. One look says it all. He looked at me with daggers in his eyes. He wouldn't look me in the eye. (I knew something is wrong.). I could see it all over her face. The look of love. One of the reasons I created this blog was to create language about the processes of collaboration and design. How the process begins, what types of things inspire us to collaborate and design, why do we stop collaborating, or designing, lose confidence in our ability to design, or lose the desire to c...

Tuesday, June 06, 2006. Piloting Our Way Through the Fog. In January our Center Core Team held a community meeting which included most members of our Management Team (what most organizations call a Board) and some other interested supporters. We asked them to "build" the next step for us and our work. There was universal agreement that we need to leave the safety of conversations and white papers about our theories and try out our ideas in real time. The time for talking had come to an end.

Collaboration Blog: Connecting with our bodies and the natural world
http://centercollaboration.blogspot.com/2007/10/connecting-with-our-bodies-and-natural.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2007. Connecting with our bodies and the natural world. There are some "new" stereotypes emerging in song lyrics, advertising and prime time TV. In the now famous "I'll have what she's having" scene. In the movie "When Harry Met Sally". To less connected to nature. My hypothesis is that as man evolved, "thinking man" had a higher status than primal man. Kings, priests and scribes "ruled". Intellectuals (initially defined as people who could read and write) seemed to get mor...For w...
