Can We Talk?

January 15, 2021 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

Two weeks ago, in a New Year’s Day message (An Optimistic Perspective for 2021), I raised the question of whether or not it was possible to be optimistic after all we have been through in 2020. Eternal optimist that I am, my response was a resounding yes.

An Optimistic Perspective for 2021

January 1, 2021 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

It was Frances Hesselbein’s 105th birthday celebration on November 1. In observance of the occasion, friends and colleagues gathered for a festschrift in her honor. And this was a different kind of festschrift. Instead of the usual reading of scholarly papers, for this festschrift we …

9/11

September 11, 2020 By Guy St. Clair Leave a Comment

As this day of limited national mourning comes to an end, I am reminded of something I bring out sometimes. Not every year on September 11, but often, because I need to find some sort of strength in what we – as a nation – experienced nineteen years ago. And this year I choose to …
