Tonic Water

“I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in…”— Kenny Rodgers and the First Edition

Is it possible that some of your networking efforts have inadvertently produced not simply links, but chains of refrain or areas of off-limits? Enviro Leadership through Tonic Water emphasizes some of the same leadership traits delineated in The Leadership Challenge: Model, Inspire, Challenge, Enable--it is these Mighty MICE, when immersed in valued nature & culture, that produce superhuman powers of thought, action and possibility. So what are we waiting for--come and save the day!! www.tonic-water.org         Stay thirsty!

Townes Van Zandt was quoted as saying: ‘..There are only 2 kinds of songs; there’s the blues, and there’s zippa-di-doo-daa..’

The most savage of Earth’s animals is the Ignoramus—a crude and unpredictable troglodyte whose blunders and miscues frequently result in prolonged agony, chronic numbness and painful repercussions.  The Ignoramus is a resilient beast that resides throughout rural and urban America.

The literal Latin translation of the name Ignoramus is ‘we do not know’ but has been often rephrased as ‘to not notice’ or ‘to not recognize’.

We've heard ad nauseam about the chronic 'Conservation Constipation' exhibited within much of our leadership ranks. Reluctance, capitulation, fear and doubt are regularly sowed in our ecosystems... and then we wonder why the germination of greener ideas is stunted? Instead of GORE-Texing our mindsets from the penetration of brilliant enviro ideas, it's about time that we immerse ourselves with progressive possibilities!
