SPEAKER
PROFILE
Who will play your music if you dont play it
yourself? is a question that was once posed to Michael
and which he now poses to others. In so doing he explores
the journey of awakening and discovery to which many leaders
are now called. Michael maps this journey into the heart of
creativity and also lays out a vision for leadership that
explores the aesthetic challenges of leading in a creative
age: Who am I really? When do I feel most present and alive?
Where is home? How am I uniquely called to lead? What is my
relationship with grace and beauty? How can I best engage
the public imagination and serve the common good in a time
of complexity and sudden change?
Weaving together personal stories to convey his message and
musical performances to deepen it, Michael reveals the emergence
of a new story one in which no outer force or teaching
will affect our progress as much as our common interest in
learning from one another. This new story is not given, but
found in the commons, a field of wholeness, possibility and
emergent creation that lies in the spaces between the notes
of our known world. To restore the commons, Michael foresees
an opportunity for a renaissance in leadership practice; a
time for leaders to experience and understand a new, more
subtle intelligence, as a way of offering an imaginative response
to our world. With this new intelligence leaders may explore
the intersections between dialogue, authentic leadership,
the creative impulse and collective innovation in a manner
that is inspired, organic and whole.
