Thoughts on Human Systems

“Regeneration goes beyond resilience or sustainability. Whatever is resilient, restored, robust, or sustainable resists or recovers from shocks and stays the same. Shocks make a regenerative business better. It rebounds by building the capacity to do and be more than it was before.” Carol Sandford

“Most musicians know about the unique state that is reached in the music sessions: you are not focused on yourself, you are focused on the collective action, on the others, on the music. Your self-consciousness is reduced and the perception of the synergy generated as a group is enhanced. There’s a pleasurable rewarding feeling about the idea of creating something together…” – Francisco Zamorano

“Safety is not the absence of threat; it is the presence of connection.” Stephen Porges

A great conversation with CanvasRebel about stepping out of the known into the unknown and getting from idea to execution ! 

Transformation is everybody’s reality and organisations and leaders often find themselves in ’transformation fatigue’. What can be done to alleviate this overwhelm and how can we address these challenges with more human centred leadership ? 

Who Cares?

In a world of constant change and flux, it is more necessary than ever for employees, including leaders, to feel their work is both purposeful and valued, yet too many of us feel nobody cares at work. If lack of employee engagement is the symptom that leaders are trying to alleviate, then the cure needs to be focused around making the case for care and compassion.
