The Joy Papers

When it comes to feeding your brain with bullet points and theoretical models, that’s what whitepapers are for. These are NOT whitepapers. These are Joy Papers.

The world has become increasingly disconnected from its wisdom as we collectively choose to value that which is outside of ourselves. Understanding academic research, for example, of course, has value. But, so too does understanding your internal data: your wisdom and your joy within. To best engage with any external data we must first have a clear grasp of our own data. In other words, when you understand who you are, your wisdom, your joy, how and when you experience joy, and what it looks like to explore leading through joy across various aspects of your life, only then can the your personal power as well as the power of external data that comes from whitepapers and research be fully realized. 

The Joy Papers aim to provide you with the frames and tools to explore the power of your joy in a way that unlocks your own data on who you are as a leader, operating in whole self, and joy’s many applications to your life. Every which way you turn your wisdom on, who you are, and how you have already led so well can all be dynamically transformed by your approach to how you live and lead in a constantly changing world with profound bottom-line results.
