IDEA #7: When you must, be formidable
https://beyondpolarity.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/idea_7_DKG.mp3 A FINAL big idea. Sometimes, you need to be formidable. I’ve been on the ‘weaker’ side of many polarities over my life. Born a female in a patriarchal farming family. Working as a woman in a male-saturated oil industry. When I...

PODCAST: Playing Games with Energy Innovation
https://beyondpolarity.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Playing-Games-with-Energy.mp3 IT’S AN OLD STORY, but a familiar one: If first you don’t succeed, try and try again. But what if you try and try and try and it still doesn’t work? And so here I am, bright and chipper on a Monday morning in the...

IDEA #5: Imagination builds bridges
https://beyondpolarity.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/idea_5_DKG.mp3 Okay, okay, you are going to figure this out. I’m a pathological bridge-builder. Sure, there are times when I’ve disengaged, intentionally stood by and watched something collapse. Rarely do I destroy things or promote enclave...

IDEA #4: Know Where You Lead From
https://beyondpolarity.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/idea_4_DKG.mp3 WE ARE ALL living with uncertainty. Wave, after wave, after wave of change. #MeToo has been overtaken by #marchforlife and youth in America demanding change in gun culture. Before that, Idle No More, the Occupy movement…

IDEA #3: Befriend the like-hearted
https://beyondpolarity.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/idea_3_DKG.mp3 IT’S EASY TO GET STUCK in echo chambers. To listen to people who share our point of view. We like talking to people who agree with us. But it risks feeding polarity. IDEA #3: Make friends with people who are like-hearted, not...

IDEA #2: Treat YOU like the ones you teach
ALL OF US are educators. We’re role models. And mentors. We teach others, not so much by what we say, but by what we do. Your ability to model behaviours – how to recognize polarized positioning, and how to engage in these discussions without getting played or co-opted by either side– is a gift…
