Embracing Zones Of Genius with Lewis Raven Wallace

The Shared Power Podcast: Notes on Collective Leadership with Mia Henry

“None of this would matter if we were doing it alone. We’re actively resisting the dominant culture through collaboration… which comes with, perhaps, individual risks [that are worth it].” -Lewis Raven Wallace

In this episode, Mia is joined by independent journalist Lewis Raven Wallace for a conversation about accessing our Zone Of Genius and what it means for the practice of Shared Power in collaboration.

Zone Of Genius can be defined as a flow state that takes you “beyond the sum of its parts,” as Lewis says in this episode.

When each of us resides within our Zone Of Genius, we’re better able to add value to the world, individually and collectively. That’s why we aspire to engage with justice & equity work from that place.

Lewis joins me to discuss how we both engage from within our Zone Of Genius in regular collaboration together, why solidarity is both a skill and a "practice", and why shared power is a long-term commitment.
