Changing the way we go about organisational change
As I look out over the slice of the business world I can see, I feel a sense of injustice at some of the work that is being done by consultants in the name of organisational change. The big consulting firms, McKinsey, Boston Consulting, Bain, KPMG, PwC, Deloitte et al, are propagating a version of organisational change…

Dying to talk – facing death, embracing life
Last week’s community conversation, Dying to talk – facing death, embracing life, went far and wide. What stood out for me was the sacred energy that formed as we connected in our mortal humanness. Death and dying impacts us all and so it connects us all, as humans. Many of the community have experienced loss,…

Busyness is an anti-change agent
Words can’t really express what a profound conversation we had last week in the community conversation about busyness, co-hosted with Rowan Gray.

Groups – why bother?
Why groups are so important In our lives, we are constantly surrounded by groups – from our families to our workplaces. Yet, it’s curious how learning to navigate group dynamics isn’t a core part of mainstream education. Our earliest experiences in groups, often within our families, shape our patterns of interaction. Unless we consciously work…

The Joy and pain of working in groups
As someone who loves groups and community, am lucky enough to have lots of positive experiences of groups but I realise this is not common for everyone. Working in groups can create mixed experiences – from the exhilarating joy of deep connection to the deep discomfort of unresolved conflict. The joy of group working Many…

What the world needs from us right now…
Our premise… The world is experiencing disruption on a global scale through the CV19 pandemic. You might have noticed? Stating the obvious aside, it’s broadly being recognised that this disruption creates the potential for us to rethink how we live, how we work together, how we exist on this planet. We believe that the application…
