Matthew Collins

"Optimistic realist"

I've developed a skillful passion for building community face-to-face and online. After developing programs dedicated to empower the lives of adults with disabilities, I became enmeshed in social media for social good. The transition was not as disparate as one might think. The communication and facilitation skills I developed in my social work transfer nicely to the online arena.

Currently I'm in pursuit of using social media to build communities for integrative wellness. This isn't the kind of new-agey wellness you're used to seeing, but building individualized strategies for anyone in the realms of physical, emotional, mental, environmental, and spiritual living. Instead of pushing a particular way of living, I advocate for facilitating individual's own choices for active, healthy, and productive lifestyles.

Action Inquiry, for Active Learning

This builds off of Creation from Chaos, and the Eric Ries-Lean Startup inspirations. It is similar as a theoretical framework for business/leadership. Bill Torbert's Action Inquiry is a useful framework to prevent "analysis paralysis."
