When people ask what I’m up to work-wise, I vaguely mention my “rewirement.” I’ve been in the process of redesigning my “working” life into a more consciously designed life flow. In other words, I’m doing less “paid work,” and devoting more time, attention and prioritization of family, my own learning, playing my guitar and spending time in my garden.
What does this mean if you want to hire me? I’m only taking on 1-2 clients at a time. I’m done juggling many work balls, now reveling in a more spacious life. And I have three criteria for saying “yes.”
- 1. Work that matters in the world. Is your project trying to solve for a community? The world? Does your work echo beyond an event or project? I’m interested.
- 2. Great people. I’m deeply attached to who I am working with. This is a relationship, not a transaction. We are in it together long enough to supports relating to each other as people?
- 3. Everyone’s learning edge. I’ll refer you to wonderful folks to provide you a known service. I’m interested in the edge where we all learning. Together. Further, we are committed to sharing that learning.
If you and your work resonate with this, let’s talk.
You are my role model, Nancy! I want to be “rewired” one day soon… or how a colleague described it as “preferment” where you get to do the stuff you prefer doing.
Like gardening! I’m enjoying seeing the snippets through your IG photos.
Big plus for more guitar playing! Also… nice shoes 😉
Hah! I mentioned your description of “rewirement” to a colleague who is retiring and it found its way into a call for her replacement

Add this to the accomplishments of your well traveled “confusiasm” (always loved your phrasing en español), long live the Agora project!)
I love it!
