    Job – Leadership Coach, Stanford Graduate School of Business 

    Thought this job opportunity might be of interest. Personally, I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience as a facilitator at Stanford, and know many people within the Dreamfish community who have as well.

    "The Center for Leadership Development and Research at Stanford will be hiring for a full-time Leadership Coach shortly. A job listing has been posted (link below), so if you happen to know somebody that you think would be interested and a good fit (or if you might be interested yourself), I'd be happy to talk with you about it.

    The leadership coaches support faculty in multiple courses, including Interpersonal Dynamics (facilitation and journal reading). The coaches also support Carole Robin's course in 'Leadership Coaching and Mentoring' and Evelyn Williams' courses, known as the Leadership Fellows course and the Leadership Labs, which is part of the first-year MBA curriculum. The courses and activities the coaches support may change and grow over time, but these courses do require enough specialized expertise that some experience or background with at least some of them is very helpful."

    The job listing, if you are interested, can be viewed here

    social improvisation video 

    Paul Loper just forward this video. What you see is 207 people performing an improvisation score in Grand Central Station in New York. It is choreographed by the group, Improvisation Everywhere . The improvisers are pedestrian in their look and gestures and the score is very simple: Freeze at the same time for five minutes, and then unfreeze and continue on. You then see the reaction of the people around the performers, as their reality is shaken. What I love about this performance and the way the video depicts it is that it shows a key principle of improvisation in a simple obvious way. In the stillness of practicing presence, we learn to more actively live in the gap between what is habit and what is possibility. The practice of making choices in this open zone, we can learn to develop and change. Likely, some people observing this performance may be inspired to choose to do something a little differently. I am.
