A Wisdom Academy, CoreChange News and 10,000 Jobs in the Urban Core
Wednesday February 22, 2012 -- Michelle Strutzenberger
Some of the specific initiatives prototyped in the design phase of the Cincinnati CoreChange summit included a wisdom academy promoting a new kind of learning, an alternative media for the city and a framework for creating 10,000 jobs in the urban core annually.
That's some pretty exciting and solid stuff.
We look forward to unpacking those and other prototypes in upcoming coverage.
We also plan to feature what some of the "strangers" in the event took away for their own cities.
In the meantime, check out our latest story capturing the high points of some participants, as well as a blog on what this summit signals for all communities going forward.
As always, we welcome comments, story leads, and suggestions for content we might want to curate including videos and blogs.
A discussion is also underway on co-creating a strengths-based news network for the city linked to this CoreChange work. If you're interested in learning more about this conversation, please contact Peter Pula of Axiom News.
Best regards,

Michelle Strutzenberger
Generative journalist and pod lead
Her 10 years with Axiom News have been transformative for Michelle Strutzenberger – especially in her coming to see the potential for a different kind of journalism and a different kind of business to have a significant part in restoring our world.
Through recent conversations with Peggy Holman, Peter Block and Juanita Brown, she's also now been inspired more deeply around the opportunities that personal commitment, possibility-oriented conversation and sensing that we are part of something bigger can provide to deal with the inevitable challenges of our world in “more wise, creative and compassionate ways,” as Peggy says.
In all of this, what's resonating more true than ever before for Michelle is a sense which has long sparked a great feeling of mystery and adventure: that we as humanity are not alone in our striving, that in this understanding we can rise above anything – and that at the intersection of those two things – understanding and rising above -- we can begin to live into the abundant future we long for now.

During an Appreciative Inquiry course I attended, professor David Cooperrider spoke about the affirmative basis of leadership and asked whether leadership could be all about affirmation, seeing the good, the true, the possible. He qualified that affirmative leadership includes, among other characteristics, providing feedback on specific moments of progress, as opposed to just handing out “empty praise.”
