About ivonprefontaine
In keeping with bell hooks and Noam Chomsky, I consider myself a public and dissident intellectual. Part of my work is to move beyond (transcend) institutional dogmas that bind me to defend freedom, raising my voice to be heard on behalf of those who seek equity and justice in all their forms. I completed my PhD in Philosophy of Leadership Studies at Gonzaga University, Spokane, WA. My dissertation and research was how teachers experience becoming teachers and their role as leaders. I focus on leading, communicating, and innovating in organizations. This includes mindfuful servant-leadership, World Cafe events, Appreciative Inquiry, and expressing one's self through creativity. I offer retreats, workshops, and presentations that can be tailored to your organzations specific needs. I published peer reviewed articles about schools as learning organizations, currere as an ethical pursuit, and hope as an essential element of adult eductaion. I published three poems and am currently preparing my poetry to publish as an anthology of poetry. I present on mindful leadership, servant leadership, schools as learning organizations, how teachers experience becoming teachers, assessement, and critical thinking. I facilitate mindfulness, hospitality retreats. and World Cafe Events using Appreciative Inquiry. I am writing and researching about various forms of leadership, how teachers inform and form their identity as a particular teacher, schools as learning organizations, hope and its anticipatory relationship with the future, and hope as an essential element in learning.8 responses »

He was. No wonder children love him so.
How true thanks dr seuss
He was a great one.
Why fit in when you were born to stand out
I think of Kareem or Lew Alcondor in a picture from his high school in New York, Power Memorial. He is a foot and a half taller than anyone else.
No hotel bed fits these giants. Mthe you have to sleep diagonally.
Wonder if these guys were shy, no where to hide at 7’3″
We cannot be unique unless we are different.
Exactly. Acceptance of that difference even awkwardness at times is the psyh then
Hard to do
Difference is what catches our attention. Sameness just blends in and we do notice anything as it does not stand out.
