A beautiful invitation, Tracy, to revisit my relationship with the term governance. "Reclaiming the word is itself a structural move, not a semantic preference. When we name what we’re doing as governance — the way we are navigating together — we can remake it. As we hold it accountable to the principles we already claim — equity, learning, power-with, living systems — it becomes a bridge to a new paradigm." A bold and necessary move ~ thank you!
Really appreciating this article Tracy. I will share it with my current client who is also struggling with the word "governance."
It felt so good to finally write this, and it’s even better to connect around it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
