June 2025:
The Circuit Breaker—Power outages from our Futility Company…
Free for All...
Game of Throwns
We are scared to death of throwing caution to the wind. We tremble at the mere thought of doing anything unscripted or unauthorized. We ignore the dynamic perplexity that humans are made of, switch to auto pilot whenever possible, and unintentionally bake bodies of tumult. It’s due time to bring on more ado about something!

Being an environmental leader is more complicated than tossing a salad or flinging toppings onto a pizza. Yet at last count, a shocking 32% of environmental and conservation organizations are content with their current conventional approach to program implementation—a ‘burger and fries’ approach that is not only mass-produced but delivers your sub-standard automated response. For the other 68%, there is still hope, but I hope it’s more than putting cheese on that burger!

Mighty MICE !!
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!
Get Jazzed Up!!
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..’
It's a cryin' shame!
Many of us (including me) are guilty of spouting out leadership messages that are less than sensational. Recipients are unable to get a sense for what we’re trying to preach. I think we need to put things into a more relatable context.

Lastly, some funny fireworks from our Chief Humorist Thickshake Spear:
The Circuit Breaker—Power outages from our Futility Company… May 2025
Where’s the control switch within your team connections? Are surges in your ideas and energy commonly protected or turned off? Who is the powerful one, and how do we fuse spurts of ingenuity throughout our transmission lines?
Cooperatives exist in order to meet local energy needs by pooling resources, delineating service areas and by being ‘utilitarian’—effective and pragmatic functioning of a service community. Unlike the warlords in a Mad Max energy wasteland, we try to promote sensibility and practicality via community kinetic conveyance.
It boils down to a choice between conduits and ‘can-do-its’… the executioner within you is waiting… www.tonic-water.org Whatever happens, stay thirsty!
What does our dear friend Thickshakespeare have to share this week:
"My dear lady, what was it that our roadside fish monger was heard saying to that starving street magician?"
'Well Sir, I truly believe I heard him clamor “..pick a cod, any cod…”
Things you should never have to pay for:
*Cheap sunglasses*Toothpicks*Covid masks*Pens *Lip balm*Paper Clips*Mistakes
A quick caveat about this last one-- if you’re not making mistakes, then perhaps you’re already paying the ultimate price of timidity. Enviro Leaders can’t afford to dawdle—expect to flip, flop and flounder, or at least vacillate until you build up the courage to fail at least once per day. Recall your days’ falters while brushing your teeth at night and smile while foaming from the mouth. Consider it to be your mental flossing of menial miscues--Gargle, swish, spit and then repeat. Whatever happens, stay thirsty! www.tonic-water.org

At long last, April humor from our uncle Thickshakespear:
Magellan the Explorer sailed up the Oregonian coast and sought respite at the Tourist Information office.
"Can you direct me towards the Gulf of Mexico?" , he asks.
The Information desk lady scratches her head and politely responds,..
"Hmmm.. Can you be a bit more Pacific??"

June 2024 E-Leadership update:
Many a servant leader has left a significant and positive impression in his or her community—Rachel Carson, Aldo Leopold, John Muir, Al Gore and Wangari Maathai all come to mind this Independence Month. Yet as green lantern leaders, our mission is not to fill the shoes of our predecessors, but to take the next step and strides on that path forward. Emancipation from mental slavery starts with courage and continues with encouragement of others.

Customer in the footwear store:
“Sir, the number of flies in here is atrocious! Why don’t you shoo them away?”
Sales Rep: ‘Unfortunately, Madam, that won’t work. They will just return tomorrow for a different style and color..’
