Sensing Journey with Tyler Norris

Part 1 | Community Saved My Life
A meeting with Tyler Norris, Chief Executive of the Institute for Mental Health and Wellness. The conversation starts with a personal story that shaped Tyler's life and work.
Part 2 | Data, Distributed Leadership & Democracy
What does leadership look like when it's rooted in the dignity of every person? How can leaders - working in complex systems - stay attuned to what individuals need? Tyler talks about the modern expression of de Tocqueville's Democracy In America.
Part 3 | The Most Important, Least Told Story in America
In Omaha, Nebraska, an initiative to improve the health of the community has evolved into a "civic infrastructure" of skills, processes and relationships called Live Well Omaha. Tyler explains the significance of this story for American democracy.
Part 4 | Localism & the Social Determinants of Health
Why localism? When businesses act as "pumps" that extract wealth from communities and leave behind payroll, the result is not contributing toward a healthy economy. Tyler introduces an alternative economic model and describes the social determinants of health.
Part 5 | Anchor Institutions
Anchor Institutions are places such as universities and hospitals that cannot pick up and leave a community. They have tremendous leverage for investing in and catalyzing vibrant local economies. Previously, Tyler led anchor institution strategy for Kaiser Permanente, a major health care provider in the United States. In this video, he helps us understand how anchor institutions can drive change - and why it's in their interest to do so.
Part 6 | What's Rising Within
Otto asks Tyler to look ahead to the next 10 years: what does he feel needs to happen? What are his sources of optimism for the future and the personal practices that keep support him?
Part 7 | Oakland From the Anchor Institution View
