Voices of Occupy Wall Street: An Author and Consultant’s View Of the #Occupy Movement – Peggy Holman

On January 9, 2012

Considering that the Occupy Movement is being analyzed six ways from Sunday through almost every lens possible, it was inevitable that 15MOF would have to locate and interview one of its more reputable student/critic/supporters.
We couldn’t have done better than locating Seattle-based author and consultant, Peggy Holman. Peggy has been a lead explorer in the field of social technologies that engage “whole systems” of people who attempt to create their own future. That she is a recognized leader in deploying group processes that directly involve communities to help them achieve breakthroughs is one indication of her capabilities – and credentials that suggest the importance of listening carefully to what she has to say.
Peggy is the author of “The Change Handbook” and most recently has published “Engaging Emergence – Turning Upheaval Into Opportunity.” (The last one certainly sounds like the Occupy Movement, I would say.)
Peggy can be located at her website at www.peggyholman.com and via Twitter as @PeggyHolman.

Occupy Wall Street: WGRN’s Jerry Ashton Interviewed on Huffington Post at Zucotti Park

On November 3, 2011

Jerry Ashton, host of WGRN’s “Down But Not Out with Jerry Ashton”, has been reporting on Occupy Wall Street and has started a special program, Fifteen Minutes of Fact, in which he interviews individuals associated with the #Occupy movement. Yesterday he became the object of an interview and article on Huffington Post:

The article:

Jerry Ashton lives in New York, but he was out of town six weeks ago when he noticed on the Internet “that there was some kind of a demonstration that was going to be taking place.” Okay, so it was all a little vague, but he was unhappy about the current financial reality, and when he got back to town a few days later he showed up at the park, hoping for a chance to take part in a dialogue that went beyond “the usual ‘there’s nothing we can do about it’” tone. He also hoped for the chance to interview some people for his book.

Down, But Not Out # 32: To the Grave and Beyond – Debt Collection & the Deceased

On October 18, 2011

Podcast: Download

The only sure thing in life, we are told, is death and taxes. That could be restated more accurately as death, taxes and the bill collector. Few people are aware of the problems facing the funeral industry (and other creditors) when it comes to collecting on the deceased and/or their estate. A NYTimes article, “You’re Dead? That Won’t Stop the Debt Collector,” identified this form of debt as being the “new frontier” in debt collection and more lucrative than even collecting on the living.

It describes archeological evidence for prehistoric social and cultural symbolism, mythical and cultural symbolic expressions of the human condition, and human relationships within the larger community.

Down, But Not Out # 29: “From Grievance to Development Thinking – A Journey of Healing and Reconciliation for Indigenous Populations and Society”

On September 27, 2011

Podcast: Download

Colonization of indigenous cultures has produced a similar worldwide pattern of dispossession of lands, assimilation of culture and resultant despair among these populations: welfare traps, high levels of social pathologies, and with little sense of hope for the future. Society and Governments continue with outdated solutions and only maintain a population in grievance. Rather than a “hand out,” a “hands up” solution is what is needed and are now being advocating and advanced. It is not a quick fix, but an inter-generational solution of empowerment emphasizing cultural reconnection and understanding, building identity and self esteem, and gaining stronger influence politically, socially, culturally and economically.

Down, But Not Out # 27: Back From The Brink – How American Towns and Cities are Reinventing and Revitalizing Themselves

On September 13, 2011

Podcast: Download

We know that people can be “heroic,” but what about entities that cannot speak up for themselves but just as surely have pulled themselves “back from the brink?” I am speaking of towns, cities, urban and suburban areas that have met this and previous recessions head-on and triumphed. When walking through beautiful sections of a city or park, we seldom pay tribute to the people, vision and perserverance that made this possible.

We are fortunate today to have a spokesperson for our towns and cities, and that is Kate Coburn. A breaker of “Glass Ceilings” (very first woman President of NYC’s “Young Men’s Real Estate Association) and sought-after speaker and consultant, she delivers a “Master Class” in what it takes to meet today’s challenges and solutions in urban planning and development.

Down, But Not Out # 28: Consumer Credit (and Collections) – Up, Down and Sideways. Where Do We Go From Here?

On August 30, 2011

Podcast: Download

Only an industry leader like Steve Ruderman, editor and publisher of Credit and Collection News and source of bellwether national conferences in that field can get away with both promoting – and chastising – the “bill collector.” Rather than suffering through the expected “party line” and defense of debt collections, those listening to this interview will be impressed by clear and balanced thinking which holds both credit and collector accountable.
