💅 Hi I'm Rich

My name is Richard D. Bartlett, like Rich dB, like Rich Decibels.

This is my face

I write things on the internet

I write on Medium as @richdecibels and I'm an editor on Enspiral Tales. These are some of the stories I like the best:

• 🐘 Direct Democracy in the Digital Age: A Conversation with the Mayor of Seoul
• 🐥 5 Reasons to Build a Network of Small Groups, Rather than a Mass Movement of Individuals
• 🐿 A Caring Organisation: Feelings, Magic & Gendered work
• 🐡 Commons Technology and the Right to a Democratic City
• 🐒 Bootstrapping a Bossless Organisation in 3 Easy Steps
• 🐢 Financing Your Startup Without Selling Out Your Values

I'm also a contributor to the Enspiral Handbook and the Loomio Cooperative Handbook, which are resources for nonhierarchical organisations.

If you want to support me to write more things like this, you can contribute here. 😍

I'm one of the Loomio cofounders

I work for money

I host training workshops with organisations that want to be more collaborative and less hierarchical. I believe the most effective way to change a team culture is through gentle sustained pressure, so I also provide coaching services to people that want a buddy to check in with regularly. Get in touch if you'd like to discuss either of these options.
