ted@context-resonance.com
I’m active on LinkedIn and post about my interests in context resonance, sociocracy and governance related topics.
My more radical thinking + podcast are on my Wiser Organizations page.
I’m a certified sociocracy trainer and consultant, an active member of the Sociocracy For All Network and leader of Sociocracy For All’s English-speaking unit. I am involved in trainer and consultant education.
I’m a German native speaker with most of my teaching experience in English.
My heart is in training! I’ve taught sociocracy in the the USA, Canada, Brazil, Denmark, UK, China, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Panama, Germany and consulted about a hundred organizations – workplaces, nonprofits, cooperatives, intentional communities, activist groups, schools, faith groups and university departments.
I am co-author of the sociocracy manual Many Voices One Song (2018) and the sociocracy implementation book From Here to There (2025) and author of two more books on self-management, Who Decides Who Decides (2021) and Collective Power (2023). My books have been translated into French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, German, Turkish, and Italian.

What clients say
“It’s hard to find someone who has thought more deeply about Sociocracy and its applications than Ted.”
“Sociocracy gives structure to how to work together toward a shared vision. This workshop is a great introduction to the participative decision-making for the 21 century!”
“Giving individuals the ability to freely and safely express their thoughts and opinions in a group while also allowing room to grow and learn is the most beautiful part of Sociocracy.”
“I really like your style of teaching and being able to go with the flow.”
