I’ve been interviewing people all over the country who have been nominated by someone who knows them and thinks they are wise. I see wisdom in the actions these people take that somehow serve a greater good. The new breed of entrepreneurs who are doing well and doing good can also offer models that we can learn from. Wisdom definitely is about giving back in some way and transforming loss and adversity in growth. Thanks for offering this opportunity for the conversation. My website is http://www.wisdomout.

I was glad to see the word “social” appear at the end of your post because it was what kept popping into my mind as I read. Because so much of the time, emotion comes from social situations. Or, rather, social situations often create some sort of an emotional response.

My colleagues and I have been talking about the need for new models, which I think aligns with your call for new pedagogies. As far as stepping up to the challenge… I think we need to look outside of our field for inspiration. For example, what’s happening in the world of marketing that we learning-geeks can apply? What are examples of online communities that are working (e.g., MySpace) and how can we apply what works to the learning we’re creating?

Thanks for the challenge and putting this conversation out there!
