Field Notes
Field notes.
Writing from the work — what the seasons actually teach, said plainly. Not content for its own sake, but the thinking a leader or funder might want before a hard conversation, or instead of feeling alone in one. Published first to subscribers, and gathered here.
What you'll find here.
Three kinds of writing, all in the same voice as everything else.
Stories from the seasons — what a transition, a board that's lost its footing, or a wind-down actually looks like from the inside, always with identities protected (see Confidentiality).
Thought leadership — the arguments the sector keeps deferring: strategy as choice, contribution over credit, combination explored early, the real cost of leader isolation.
Research, where it earns its place — the evidence beneath the practice, and any original work down the road, grounded in the Canadian and BC sector.
