The increased rate of change and disruption organizations are experiencing adds additional strain on the role of leadership. Navigating this turbulence is calling leaders and their teams to shift into new ways of being and working together.
I believe that the future of work requires transforming the inner-self while transforming the external systems and structures that no longer work (skills + structure).
Conscious Leadership Coaching
Power-within Skills
Leading from connection to Self/Source
Developing emotional, social and spiritual intelligence
Ability to move from unconscious reactivity to conscious responsiveness
Navigating change and tension as a doorway to potential
Shifting from over-using adrenaline to accessing more sustainable energy pathways
Why it matters:
Thriving organizations need thriving leaders. When you are leading from Self/Source, a field is generated where everyone can work from an empowered place, accessing greater efficiency, flow and well-being.
Facilitated Dialogue
Dialogue Skills:
Awareness of habitual ways of interacting that keep teams stuck in old patterns
Understanding the difference between debate and dialogue
Knowing ways to shift from one form of conversation to another
Creating a safe container where trust, authenticity and connection are nurtured
Fostering generative conversations where a “third space” opens up and accesses an emergent potential
Why it matters:
Relationship is the container from which all work gets done. Problem solving and accessing new possibilities emerges from co-creative, collaborative dialogue where ideas, imagination, and inspired energies collectively build upon each other.
Organizational Consulting
Power-with Structures and Culture:
Continuous learning while getting work done
Creating a culture which embraces change
Whole-organization clarity and alignment of vision and purpose
Efficiency through distributed decision making, accountability and feedback loops
Inclusive processes which increase engagement, innovation and productivity
Why it matters:
In the shift from power-over to power-with, innovation and productivity naturally arise. Organizations become sustainable when internal power-within skills are combined with external power-with structures.
