"No Matter Which End of the Boat You Are in when It Is Sinking, We Are All in This Together" Kenneth Cloke on Collaboration

Kenneth Cloke provides us deep insight on collaboration as the highest road to the self. "Collaboration constructs a higher order of creation." Kenneth Cloke is a brilliant visionary. He also shows us so much about our own awareness that comes through conflict. "When you are present, take your time, pay special attention to the other, explore and enjoy, like sex, collaboration is fantastic. When you rush in with only your own needs and desires in mind, not considering the impact on others, very often you finish not very satisfied, wishing there was more to it or worse. Collaboration is a journey, a relationship, a discovery. Collaboration is a way of being in this world"; host David B. Savage

"Every conflict we face in life is rich with positive and negative potential. It can be a source of inspiration, enlightenment, learning, transformation, and growth or rage, fear, shame, entrapment, and resistance. The choice is not up to our opponents, but to us, and our willingness to face and work through them."

Savage invites those who seek to understand and co-create to connect in any way we can for our future, our economy, our planet, and our communities. Unlike never before, we now have one or two degrees of separation from the people and wisdom that will guide us.
