edgework

Edgework - a mindset and approach that powerfully shapes who we are, our relationships, and our organizations.

Nearly 20 years ago, I developed a concept I call "edgework" within the fields of education and organizational leadership. Today, I believe edgework to be relevant across all organizations as well as our personal and professional lives.

The "edge" symbolizes the edge of our current capabilities, skills, knowledge, and experiences. The edge of our confidence.

Stepping over the edge requires commitment to the unknown, and the recognition that growth requires risk-taking and a willingness to be vulnerable. It is grounded in a deep knowledge of who we are and what we value.

Edgework IS work. And it’s personal. It requires reflection, intention, and commitment. It compels us to explore who we are, personally and professionally, while building relationships and inviting others to join us on our journeys.

Organizations engaged in edgework become powerful, entrepreneurial, and inclusive communities.

And YOU become stronger, more centered, and courageous.

It’s that easy. And that hard.
