l NEWS FROM THE DEAN OF LIOS
DEAN'S MESSAGE
Greetings! This summer LIOS is buzzing with
changes and color as we remodel space and
collaborate with colleagues and students
on the goal of bringing our classes and
professional seminars to our beautiful office
campus nestled in the trees along Lake
Washington. Since this is an election year, I
thought you might like to receive a State of
LIOS address. Here is a series of LIOS updates:
Bravo! We have successfully passed the
accreditation review with our sister colleges
of Saybrook University. Among the accolades
received in this process, let me share with you
that our faculty and staff are phenomenal. In the months that we worked together
prior to the WASC visit, we created a stellar report on our programs, assessment
process, and five year plans. In the scope of items reviewed for Educational
Effectiveness, LIOS excelled.
LIOS is approaching enrollment targets for this fall, and we want to
support these entering students by offering scholarships, so I hope you will
consider making a donation this month or in the near future (www.saybrook.
edu/lios/support). Our goal is to raise $50,000 in this academic year for two
key scholarship funds: the Access Scholarships, which are for students with
significant financial need, and the Multicultural Scholarships, which support
students from traditionally marginalized populations who have financial
need and show strong leadership potential in working with underserved
communities and groups.
This fall we are planning a LIOS Happy Hours event at our office campus in
Kirkland on Friday, November 9th, which will include awarding and toasting
several of our faculty, staff, and alumni with excellent wines from the Chateau
St. Michelle Winery, enjoying yummy hors d’oeuvres, sharing updates and ideas
with each other, and connecting with old and new friends. Please come after
work, or leave work a little early to beat the traffic! We’ll begin pouring and
celebrating at 5 pm and continue until 7:30. We also have fun raffle prizes like
a Police Ride-Along, Arts and Crafts from Guatemala, Great Coffee and Dark
Chocolate, Special Events with Faculty, a night at San Francisco’s White Swan
Hotel and more luscious wines! All funds raised that evening will go to support
our student scholarships. Please join the party and support these new LIOSians.
Upcoming gatherings and continuing education workshops this fall include
Aging Well through Life Transitions on September 22nd, Legacy Breakfast with
Dan Leahy on October 4th, InterAct October 31st to November 2nd, Portfolio
Development for ICF Coaching Certification on November 3rd, and our LIOS
Happy Hours event on November 9th!
Vancouver, BC, as well as in Portland
and Seattle. We’ve shared memories,
updates, and discussion of the future
plans to bring doctoral programs to
LIOS in 2013. Alumni in Olympia and
Spokane are organizing for future
visits too. Even if you live beyond the
Pacific Northwest, you can connect
with us via Facebook and Twitter.
In the future we hope to offer
webinars to make participating in
our events easier. Also, if you are in
California and would like to connect
with me, please let me know. I fly
down each month for meetings
at the Saybrook offices in San
Francisco, and I’ll be glad to provide
a date and place where we can have
a California reunion.
For anyone who would like to come
from out of town to events here in
Kirkland, we’ve made arrangements
with the La Quinta around the
corner to provide a corporate rate
of $89/night---which includes a
great breakfast!
If you have questions about what’s
happening at LIOS, please feel free
to send me an email or give me a
call. I hope you’ll join in attending
and supporting LIOS and our
future students.
All the best to each of you,
~Cyndy~

l THE LEGACY LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST

Can the
leadership
and resilience
necessary
to sustain
communities
only emerge
when
relationships
are formed
and diverse
people begin
working
toward a
common
vision? Is this
the leadership
that will
enable the
community to respond effectively to the adaptive
challenges of this new century?
HOW DO WE IMPROVE
THE HEALTH AND
INTEGRITY OF OUR
POLITICAL SYSTEM?
Legacy Leadership
Breakfast
Tuesday, October 4 at 8 am
LIOS Kirkland Office
Dan Leahy, MA
Associate Dean
LIOS Graduate College
These questions will be discussed by Dan Leahy and
all of you who join us at the October 4th Legacy
Leadership Breakfast at the LIOS campus office. With
the 2012 elections a month away, Dan will host a
conversation addressing the perceived health of our
political system and the role of each individual citizen.
Democracy is a demanding discipline. This evolving
experiment requires an ongoing commitment to
engage, reflect, re-vision, and reinvest in an equitable,
sustainable future. Maybe the result is not a change
in the differences but an evolution of our relationship
with them. Maybe this ongoing evolutionary challenge
is a hallmark of healthy human systems.
Although there is no charge to attend the Legacy
Leadership Breakfast, guests are encouraged to
make donations to the LIOS Multicultural and Access
Scholarship Funds. Contact: jfreyman@saybrook.edu
DANIEL LEAHY, MA, is an innovative
leadership development specialist.
With 16 years of leadership education
experience and another 16 years
as a clinical therapist, he brings a
unique blend of interpersonal and
organizational perspectives to his
work. Dan also previously served
as President of LIOS for six years.
As a LIOS alumnus, he has a deep
appreciation for the work that LIOS
brings to the world.

HERE'S TO US!
LIOS staff toasts to our
successful passing of the
WASC accreditation review
with our sister colleges of
Saybrook University. Among
the accolades received in
this process, let me share
with you that our faculty
and staff are phenomenal. In

report on our programs,

scope of items reviewed for
Educational Effectiveness,
LIOS excelled.

l ANNOUNCEMENTS: COMINGS AND GOINGS
WELCOME ABOARD:
Jennifer Herron and
Omid Roustaei
Named LIOS
Systems Consultants
Jennifer Herron. MA
(2007) and Omid
Roustaei, MA (2004)
are the new System
Consultants. Jennifer
begins immediately
and will work with the fall students. Omid will start in
February with the spring program.
Systems consultants are an integral part of the LIOS
learning community. They coach students and faculty
and provide mediation services, Kleenex, and loving
attention when needed.
Jennifer is well known in the LIOS community. She
served as the Director of Admissions from 2009-2011
5
and prior to that was a writing coach. She has been
a private practice psychotherapist. Jen has worked
at Youth Eastside Services and Northshore Youth
and Family Services. She has been a volunteer with
Seattle Tilth, The Overlake School and in the Lake
Washington School District.
Omid has been a faculty member at Bastyr University
in Kenmore since 2009
where he has taught
in the psychology and
health, and nutrition
and exercise science
departments. He has a
private psychotherapy
practice and has been
a yoga instructor. He
enjoys cooking and
teaches intuitive and
improvisational plantbased
cooking classes at
Puget Consumer Co-Op.
MARGIE BLOCH
RETIRES
LIOS is losing a touch
of class. Margie Bloch,
LIOS graphic designer
and special projects
coordinator, retires on
August 31. Since 2000,
Margie has been the
artistic talent behind
the classy and exquisite
LIOS marketing pieces
including brochures, bus ads, stationery, workshop
flyers, manuals, magazines, newsletters, and collateral
materials.
Margie spent several decades as a community
volunteer. As a mother of three children, two
daughters and a son, Margie had specialized in
volunteer activities, from designing T-shirts for her
son’s gymnastics teams to serving on boards at their
schools. She is a self-taught graphic artist.
Margie went to the University of Washington for
three years but dropped out when she married her
husband, Ken, in 1964. As their children grew up and
left home, Margie began volunteering in Bellevue –
serving on city boards. Ron Sher recommended that
she become a member of the first class of Advance
Bellevue, a community leadership program that laid
the groundwork for today’s Leadership Eastside.
After graduating, she joined the Advance Bellevue
board and co-chaired the curriculum committee with
Doreen Cato. “I loved the new concept of servant
leadership, an approach that raises all boats,” Margie
said. “I decided to go back to college.”
She finished her bachelor’s degree in Transformational
Leadership at Antioch and then went on to earn a
master’s in Whole System Design, again concentrating
on Servant Leadership. Margie was still volunteering
with Advance Bellevue and excited because she was
learning many of the same leadership concepts in
both places: systems thinking, leaders create leaders,
the importance of emotional intelligence.
Margie quickly became an integral part of LIOS. She
served on the LIOS Board of Directors for six years, and
she will be greatly missed as our designer.

ADMISSIONS UPDATE:
Dear Students, Alumni
and Faculty,
As of August 30th, we have 26 students
enrolled for this fall class. I am quite
impressed with the skills this class is bringing with them, and I
feel really excited to turn them over to the fall Faculty. Over the
course of the last six months, we have accepted 33 people into
the program and several of those are either declining enrollment
or hoping to start next spring. Once again, the bulk of the new
students first heard about LIOS from someone who attended or is
currently attending LIOS. My gratitude goes out to all of you who
have been able to recommend these people to the program. You
have given us a great new cohort made up of individuals who are
extremely well-prepared to follow their calling and be catalysts for
change.
Looking ahead, we have Taste of LIOS information sessions
scheduled in September, October and November. I'm wanting to
start conference call information sessions this fall as well, hoping
that more inquirers will get to hear from faculty and students about
LIOS even if they can't get to a Taste of LIOS evening session.
Finally, I want to thank our Work Study students Mark Hatcher and
Reba Wirtel for their amazing work on the phones this summer.
They made connections with dozens of potential new students,
and spent countless hours introducing LIOS and its programs to
interested and curious inquirers. They are both great ambassadors
for LIOS and I am so grateful for their assistance.
If you have any questions or comments about the admissions
process, give me a shout!
Peace,
Rhys Clark, MFA

MAKING CONNECTIONS:
The Mentor Solution
Recently, Diane Schachter and
I sat down together in an effort
to refine the mentoring process
between first year and second
year students. The consistent
piece of feedback that we've
been given over the years is that
it can be very stressful for first
years to have to ask a second
year to be their mentor (the LIOS
equivalent of Senior Prom), and
it can be equally stressful for
second years who are waiting
to see if they will be asked (the
LIOS equivalent of choosing sides
for basketball). This puts undue
pressure on everyone to create a
"relationship" that's meaningful
and long-lasting.
The solution? Diane and I
became Yappy Yentas and
decided to make the matches
ourselves by creating a second
year buddy for each first year
student instead of a Mentor. This
new role is primarily focused on
showing the ropes to the first
year students, and as such, takes
some of the pressure off of both
parties. Even if the buddy system
doesn't last beyond the first
couple of days of RC 1, it will still
have served its purpose. If it turns
out to be a good fit, and actually
becomes a mentor/mentee
relationship, so much the better!

ELIZABETH
FAMILIES AT OBRAS HOSPITAL
Kylie Elizabeth (AKA
"The Cutie") was
born late Tuesday
night (8/28). She is
Erin and Brandon
Leahy's first baby
and grand baby #3
for us. She decided
to come a little
early (3 weeks) so
is a very petite 4 lb.
13 oz. and a mere
17 in. and every bit
adorable. There will
be some ongoing adjustments for us all as
she has a hole in her heart that will need
to be repaired in about three months, and
she has Downs Syndrome, which Brandon
has already reframed as "Ups" syndrome.
For now everyone is resting up, and the
family hopes to be home by the weekend.
To be continued... Grandpa Dan Leahy
Each summer Dean Cyndy FitzGerald goes to
Guatemala with the Faces of Hope medical mission
team to serve children with cleft palate, cleft lip,

gap that sometimes exists between what they know, and what they can actually do when they're
under pressure. Let’s face it – when you're relaxed and comfortable reading a book or sitting in
a training, it’s easy to grasp leadership and communication skills. It’s not always so easy to put
those skills into practice when you’re back in the office having a conversation with your most
challenging team member, or presenting bad news to your boss. We all have patterns of
constriction that kick in when we’re under pressure, and when we’re stuck in those patterns it
can be hard to act skillfully.
In the Leadership Embodiment course, you will:
• explore your body's patterns of reaction to the stress and pressure of
common leadership scenarios
• cultivate the ability to shift from constriction to an open centeredness, while
under pressure
• learn how to experience a sense of ease while under stress
• develop the skills to act with greater clarity, connection, and presence in
challenging leadership situations

Margie Bloch - continued from page 5
She helped develop the materials and design layout for InterAct when
it was still a four-day workshop. By the time she was finished, the thick
notebook was organized and copyrighted, beautifully laid out and
highlighted with graphics and interesting quotes.
Appropriate quotes are something Margie collects, often dropping
them into flyers, newsletters and other LIOS publications. She’s a fan
of photographs that convey feelings and message. Her flyers are great,
her ads eye-catching and her work is always appreciated. “Margie brings
a classy designer's eye and panache to all of her projects,” said Cynthia
FitzGerald, PhD, LIOS Dean.
In the 12 years she has been with LIOS, Margie has worked in nine
offices and had nine supervisors. Margie has also been a generous LIOS
supporter. She and her husband
have hosted numerous LIOS events
in their Bellevue home including
board parties, volunteer appreciation
events, open houses for Saybrook
administrators and a baby shower.
Margie will be missed at LIOS.
She has brought wonderful staff
members to the organization
including Rhys Clark and Connie
Shulman, and many board
members. She’s beloved by the staff
members and alumni who have
worked with her.
