Michelle Holliday: Thrivability

How might we embrace complexity to open more to life?

In this episode, I speak with Michelle Holliday. Michelle is a consultant, facilitator, author and researcher. Her work centers around “thrivability” — a set of perspectives and practices based on a view of organizations and communities as dynamic, self-organizing living systems. Her research, perspectives and practical experience are brought together in the highly acclaimed book, The Age of Thrivability: Vital Perspectives and Practices for a Better World, as well as in a popular TEDx talk and an online slideshow with close to 65,000 views. We discuss:

🥥 How a life-aligned worldview requires us to be ok to engage with complexity;

🥥 How wherever there is life, it is worthy of our reverence, and we can design with life, as life, opening us up to a differnet consciousness;


🥥 Culivating a learning ecology, where everyone is changed through the process entangling living and non-living things.
