In a system, we find many elements contributing to an experience. Within a business, family, or school context, people are the driving forces behind culture, profits, relationship experiences and learning development.

Often, people will try to fix something that isn't working. An organization will attempt to change its culture, or a parent/counselor might try to fix a child's behavior, or a school will try to fix test scores.

These are all worthy intentions, but when we try to fix something, it's easy to focus on what is not available. When we pay attention to what is available, we begin to support existing realities and resources, as well as the system that supports the distance in between. In this light, Change Agents no longer try to manage learning or change, but honor it. We are then creating a system of supporting intentions, development and experiences.

This can be accomplished by leveraging useful technologies combined with powerful leadership concepts. My name is Jessie Upp and I immensely enjoy helping Change Agents carry out their intentions.

One example of mixing technology with creative change is a social change website I produce called GreenYourTheme.com, a community devoted to greening the event industry.
