We can say this is about women per se, and yet... the quality of 'care' is present in us all: what matters is what we care ABOUT

Compassionate of heart,

Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,
Generous in love.

You won't often hear me post on things 'political' here. But I'm a New Zealander, and I deeply 'get' how my country has responded to the terror attack on its soil.

This, near the end of the SMH article, especially touched me:

'Speaking to Stuff.co.nz, Ardern has downplayed her own role in the nation's grieving.
"I don't think I'm displaying leadership. I just think I'm displaying humanity," she said.
"In politics we can choose to model behaviour ... I genuinely believe that all I am modelling are the values of New Zealanders. On every occasion when I've had an opportunity to share words, all I've reflected in my mind is: 'What are New Zealanders feeling right now? What are the words I'm hearing expressed around me? How do we all feel?"'

Bless her, I say, for thinking that 'displaying humanity' is not 'displaying leadership'.

It's the definition leadership's been longing for.
And the science is beginning to catch up. Watch this space...

In our striving for 'Success', do we make space for 'allowing', for 'not doing', for 'letting go'? What would it even mean, to 'do' those 'un-doing' things?
Should we?, we ask. Can we afford to? Or will we lose momentum, control, respect?

Perhaps the better question to ask ourselves is Why ever would we not?

I've had many opportunities to contemplate this theme lately, in my work, my social environment and in my own life.
We're never done!
We seem to progress in a spiral, with the things that trip us like deep tap roots running through it - we're presented again and again with the theme of each root as we reach the next level of its crossing-point on the spiral, the root a little thicker each time we pass by, requiring a little more of our capacity and courage to really experience it, examine it and loosen a little more of its hold.
It's some of the most humbling and satisfying work I do, supporting clients on this journey.

I'll be opening up a few places for new clients very soon!

The most satisfying work...

Are you struggling to break down organizational silos, increase creativity, engagement and collaboration? Do you feel like the people in your company are resisting change? Is your company’s culture holding you back?

A great article on centering by one of my teachers, Mark Walsh. This stuff works! It's fundamental to the work I do with coaching clients - many of whom have also reported (as Mark quotes) that learning and consistently practising centering has changed their life.
I teach short courses in this and other centering techniques to individuals and groups, combined with simple embodied exercises to help you recognise your own particular stress response - before it's derailed you! - so you can respond more creatively, calmly and constructively under stress.
Whether it's work, relationships with partners or friends, or parenting (yes, even teens!), these skills can help you be more of who you'd like to be...

A wonderful article on Embodied Leadership - and what that means! - from Francis Briers, a teacher in the field who I greatly respect. Hint: it's about way more than body language!
