Nora Bateson

What woman has been the most impactful in your life? Doesn't have to be in the niche, it could just be in general.

Uh, recently Nora Bateson.

I absolutely love her work in terms of thinking about how change happens.

And so her work has been enormously influential in how I now think about how I host and how I teach permaculture.

... you know, um, never doubt that, you know, change can happen, and all it takes is a s- small group of people.

I've butchered the quote, but it's something like that.

So Nora Bateson is someone who I would say definitely has been enormously influential in my life of recent years.

Okay.

Wow

Okay.

It's extremely dangerous.

And it's extremely dangerous because we allowed people with a very, are you familiar with Nora Bateson's concept to avoid a narrow boundary thinking?

Yeah.

So we allowed people with very narrow boundary thinking.

And for the last... let's say six, seven years, I am very much into complexity and living systems because I have a garden, because I'm doing experiments with permaculture, because I'm observing very closely what happens in nature when you don't control it.

And I've discovered regenerative leadership and regenerative coaching and approaches and I've discovered the work of Nora Bateson I'm a fan and Nora Bateson is the daughter of Gregory Bateson and she's created warm data warm data data that is alive that is not cold and it's not big data it's warm it's happening live it's moving as we're talking And of course, this is totally in line with what I was saying before and just experiencing.

I've done her training three times so far.

Twice online and once face-to-face in Amsterdam.

And he, to me, represents and dynamic skill theory represents the best accounting for all of that.

And those who were attentive to the debate that raged, I don't know, at this point, a couple of years ago now between Nora Bateson and the community and stage theories are BS and all this stuff.

Almost all of her critiques had already been accounted for by these neo-Piagetian thinkers.

Kurt Fisher, probably best of all.
