A safety and shelter space

When I wrote THE ‘Quiet leadership‘Book four years ago, I described a large landscape in which we considered Humility,, Kindness,, JusticeAnd Grace. In this work, we considered the ‘Organization as ecosystem‘, and how we are all interconnected there. The work really concerns “oneself” and “system”, and the questions of ladder: How my action and yours can be more than the sum of their parts, if we share common stories. There remains a soft work, and I guided thousands and thousands of people in this space in free 4 -week program (and continue to do so, from year to year). I love this work and I love to hear what people take it (and bring it).

And now I go back to the landscape of silent leadership to guide a new trip, in more uncertain times. In this new work, we will considerSafety and shelter“, And both our individual experiences and our responsibilities as social leaders.

It is not a political work, but rather a work within a community. Almost every day, I have conversations with people to whom the landscape is different: some celebrate what they have found or created, while others feel that they have lost or things took things to them. So, how to direct in this context?

Do we head for the winners, those who have lost something or for everyone? And does everyone need the same thing?

Through four conversations, we will consider “loss”, “hope”, “resilience” and “breath”.

‘Loss“Is an exploration of how we find security, our relationship with certainty and agency and control issues.

We explore ‘Hope“In the context of the local – and the smallest of the actions. This is the belief that we have with each other and the way we act within our systems.

‘Resilience“He reminds us that we do not need to resist shocks, but that we rather have the ability to remove the energy from the blows and come back standing. It is an individual and collective force, and systems in which it is maintained.

Finally, ‘Breath“Is an exploration of ecosystems, and how we improve and degrades them, it is reflective practices and to found our leadership in a tempo and a scheme of engagement.

Around all of this, we seek to find our individual voice: how we create security, who shelter ourselves and why do we do these things.

I describe it as a space for dialogue, not domination. Everyone is welcome, while we meet to find our own answers and share our individual stories.

This work is experimental and fragile. I will execute two initial prototypes, in May and June, and I will be able to accommodate up to 300 people for each: it is an online trip, on two sessions of ninety minutes. You can find out more or register, here.
