Until this blog, I didn’t realize one way the Table continues to be part of my thinking. Recently, a client who is deeply involved in the non-linear work of real community-wide change was trying to figure out a structure. Who comes to what meetings, for what purpose?

At one point, it became clear that what was happening on the call among informally gathered leaders was something special. This was it! It was the group of trusted advisors, thought leaders, innovators, whom we turn to when we need to figure out something really important.

We realized that, in addition to the formal structure, this community network would thrive with a Kitchen Cabinet. Gathering virtually around the table, keeping the vision alive.

Yes, Hildy, your original Kitchen Table is alive and well!
