30 days | 10 minutes a day | Hope Stoked

Inspiration, poetry, and practice to cultivate resilience, vision, and relevance.

Why Hope Matters

Hope is not wishful thinking -- it's an active force that empowers you to navigate uncertainty and inspire change. Hope is the most important leadership competency of our time, whether you lead within your family, your community, an organization, or through your "riz". This 30-day journey provides daily ten-minute sessions filled with wisdom, poetry, and practical strategies to develop deep and enduring hope.

Why Now?

Why now? Because too many of us are coping with the enormity of challenges we are facing on the planet by falling back on our old strategies.
How do you cope with issues like climate change, seemingly intractable injustice, ongoing conflict?
Do you:
  • get more pure: clean up your own act and live as purely as you can?

  • focus on the achievable: try not to think about it and focus your attention on things you can change?

  • scan more intently: scroll and scan looking for signs telling you how we're doing? And worry?

  • something else? What's your way of coping?

These strategies keep us small and limit our horizons of action and impact.

" Hopefulness is risky, since it is, after all, a form of trust, trust in the unknown and the possible, even in discontinuity."
Ernst Bloch, The Principle of Hope
