The conversation that I had with Eimear O’Neill was quite different from many in this series. Eimear is a psychotherapist, thinker and mobilizer, who is busy helping to create a culture and context that supports transformative life-long learning that leads to a “One World Community”. Her perspectives and energy are quite amazing; you come to see that indeed all things are connected but you then ask yourself, how then do we keep creating differences and divisions? I appreciated her comment that leadership is for the task and from the middle. I agree that we are never totally free; but rather that we are bound to each other and responsible for the well-being of all. I share her hopefulness of the growing connectedness assisted by technology. Perhaps this shall enable us to be more collaborative and creative as we learn – together. Enjoy.
