Hey everyone! I'm thinking of making a mini course that will help you discover or clarify what your highest values are. I'm curious, what are you values? Try to say them in one word. I'll go first!

Hello community, We're heading into February and are looking forward to seeing more of you! Next week there are 2 opportunities ☺️ 1. Join us on February 3rd at 12.30 for a 30-minute session looking at the question “What is My Role Now?” These weekly sessions are designed to be self-reflective and hold space for shared sense-making. They're are a good way to get to know other members of our community, happen weekly, every Tuesday and are free for all.. 2. Thursday, February 5th we’re going live from 13.00 with the Facilitator Incubator. This first session is all about Hosting Yourself. The most important thing as a facilitator is that we fully show up in our BEING. 👉Detachment as a Facilitation Discipline is the focus of this session. No techniques. No fixing. No right answers. This session is your chance to notice what happens when you stay fully present without trying to steer the outcome. If you facilitate groups and feel the subtle pull to intervene, rescue, or make things “work,” this space is for you. Come curious. Join us here With gratitude for the work you're doing in the world. Nadene & Sarah

I was in Caux for the first time in 2016 with @Mark Vandeneijdne and @Veronique Sikora Gasser I was there with a cohort of curious people who all wanted to know more about inner development and support people on their own pathes. Mark had developed an assessment, with his then partner Sujith. The assessment, Being at Full Potential was different, it was a fabulous conversation starter to help people understand more clearly the parts of themselves that were not yet fully expressed. Vanessa Smith was the graphic facilitator in the room scribing. She is known for her work at Crafting Connection. This is her illustration and her question. This question is always power packed! Be it in the New Year, when we feel stuck, or when we’re questioning next steps. How does it resoNate with you?

Following on from last weeks Skill builder about Davos and contrasting worldviews here's a taster from a rich discussion. We examined the tension between: - “Power with” — shared, relational, and regenerative - “Power over” — power as control, leverage, or threat We reflected on Power Dynamics with a core question: When do I default to control rather than collaboration—and what fears or emotional drivers sit underneath that choice? The discussion surfaced how power shows up across different contexts: - Personal relationships and family systems - Academic and professional environments - Political leadership and global power dynamics Participants shared candid reflections related to: - Patience and perspective-taking in moments of conflict - White male privilege and power dynamics in family and academic settings - Justice and fairness as triggers for “power over” responses - Being a young CEO navigating responsibility, authority, and restraint Practicing “Power With” This practice reinforced a core insight: Shifting how we use power begins with a practice of self awareness, self-regulation, and relational presence—not authority. We host Skill builder sessions weekly that explore our attitudes, values and behaviors in relation to our leadership. Check the calendar for the time.

These two blog posts appeared in my mailbox this morning as well as a post from id@w. As I read them, I felt compelled to share. I felt myself grounding and breathing in the richness of the scents that come with the flowers and the air around me and so I added one of my favourite flowers.
