Making Sense Out of Chaos
An interview for Community Learning Exchange – CLExchangeonair with Cheryl Fields on Blog Talk Radio. Some of the questions we discuss:

Everyone is familiar with chaos, but I’d like to begin by describing what you mean by emergence for our listeners. What is it and how does it show up in our lives and in our work?
Early in the book you tell the story of how your own perspective on engaging emergence began. Tell us about that experience?
It strikes me that one intention of your book is to provide people with tools for overcoming the emotions of fear, panic and retreat that instinctively emerge when we’re confronted with upheaval. These emotions are a natural response to crisis, but how do they get in our way as we’re trying to adjust to these disturbances?
In your preface you talk about achieving breakthrough solutions rather than compromises that no one is happy with. We’ve seen a lot of the latter on Capitol Hill in recent years. How does engaging emergence help us to arrive at innovative solutions?
What are the five principles of emergence?
