Hunger for Wholeness: Who Do We Choose To Be with Margaret Wheatley (Part 2)
In the second part of their conversation, Ilia Delio and Margaret Wheatley discuss what it means to be fully human in the face of corporations, AI, and a sometimes gloomy outlook. They explore possible futures, their hopes, their concerns and most importantly what the inexhaustible zest of the human spirit offers us in our current situation.
ABOUT MARGARET WHEATLEY
“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.”
Margaret Wheatley, Ed.D., is a consultant, senior-level advisor, teacher, speaker, and formal leader, who has worked on all continents (except Antarctica) with all levels, ages, and types of organizations, leaders, and activists. Her work now focuses on developing and supporting leaders globally as Warriors for the Human Spirit. These leaders put service over self, stand steadfast through crises and failures, and make a difference for the people and causes they care about. With compassion and insight, they know how to invoke people’s inherent generosity, creativity, kindness, and community–no matter what’s happening around them. Margaret has written twelve books, including Leadership and the New Science, and been honored for her pathfinding work by many professional associations, universities, and organizations.

ABOUT RONALD ROLHEISER
“Faith is not a question of basking in the certainty that there is a God and that God is taking care of us. Many of us are never granted this kind of assurance. Certitude is not the real substance of faith. Faith is a way of seeing things.”

His books are popular throughout the English-speaking world and have now been translated into many languages. His weekly column is carried by more than 80 newspapers worldwide.
