Manage episode 342513858 series 2915066
Founded in 1996, Performance of a Lifetime (POAL) has pioneered bringing play and improvisation into corporations, non-profit organizations and government agencies. Working with clients as diverse as the Bank of America and the United States Olympic Committee, Jet Blue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, POAL has invited organizational leaders to develop by playing, philosophizing and supporting each other to take risks. Sevanne Kassarjian, POAL’s Vice President of Global Client Solutions, and Associate Partner Christian Felix, discuss Performance of a Lifetime’s history and latest developments with the East Side Institute’s Janet Wootten.

Welcome to All Power to the Developing, a podcast of the East Side Institute. The Institute is a center for social change efforts that reinitiate human and community development. We support, connect and partner with committed and creative activists, scholars, artists, helpers and healers all over the world. In 2003, Institute co-founders Lois Holzman and the late Fred Newman had a paper published with the title “All Power to the Developing.” This phrase captures how vital it is for all people—no matter their age, circumstance, status, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation—to grow, develop and transform emotionally, socially and intellectually if we are to have a shot at creating something positive out of the intense crises we’re all experiencing. We hope that this podcast series will show you that, far more than a slogan, “all power to the developing” is a loving activity, a pulsing heart in an all too cruel world.
