Hi Community we continue our journey where we're reverse engineering the real value and outcomes for clients if and when they work on their inner development. This time we're looking at the dimension of the THINKING skills. 👉 Here is the Google Doc to add your reflections about the real client outcome for the IDG skills under the 'Thinking' dimension If we can get some first insights before Tuesdays hangout, we can discuss them again next Tuesday, 12.30pm I found this lovely image about the concept of language on LinkedIn, and Sandra kindly gave me permission to share it. I think it expresses so well what we're working on in this Client Value Challenge. *** Other posts in the community: - IDG is growing up - and we're invited to co-create what's next - Reverse-engineering the BEING skills - Building a new kind of economy - International Women's Day event We'd love to have you engage in the conversations here. Have a great weekend Sarah (& Nadene)

In the first of a 3-session Learning Journey, Erik Fernholm shared honestly about where IDG is right now – and why a transformation is needed if we want this movement to stay alive, regenerative and truly owned by all of us. A few years ago, IDG started as a small initiative exploring inner development for systems change. None of us expected it to grow into a global movement with 800+ hubs and so many committed people around the world. From the outside, the website and big partner logos can make IDG look like a large, well-funded organization with dozens of people in a big Stockholm office. In reality, it’s a tiny team doing what they can with very limited time and resources. That mismatch has created a real bottleneck. Erik named a few pieces of this: - The founding group has been quite homogenous (Northern European, mostly male and white). - The current, centralized “startup” structure is now slowing the movement down instead of enabling it. - Too many initiatives wait in a “permission queue” – especially those without funding. The shift: from “IDG does this for us” to “WE are IDG” Erik’s proposal is bold and very aligned with inner development: - The board will give away its central mandate rather than hold onto it. - Decision-making and agency move closer to where the work is actually happening – in hubs, circles, projects, local contexts. - People get clear mandates to act in coherence with IDG principles, without needing to constantly ask for permission. *** Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the breakout rooms, but the question that was proposed was this: "How do we together cultivate the conditions for agency, learning and practise within the movement?" Let's have this conversation here - in the comments. And @Denise Pang, @Sibylle Breiner, @Maria Niermann, @Veronique Sikora Gasser, @Mark Vandeneijdne who were at the call, please share what was discussed in your breakout rooms.

On the eve of COP30 Brazil, Climate Bridges is co-organizing with its partners the Global Climate Meditation on November 9, 2025, at 5 pm CET. ✅ Christiana Figueres has already marked this event in her calendar. The IPCC, the Club of Rome, and the IPBES are clear: an inner transition is essential to accompany the ecological transition. Mindfulness practices can help cultivate both awareness and inner resilience—key capacities for the protection of our planet. This one-hour online event will allow you to: 🌟 Hear from leaders such as Satish Kumar, Elise Buckle, Charlotte Dufour and Liane Stephan on how conscious leadership, through self-awareness, responsibility, and a purpose-driven approach to guiding others, drives positive impact for people and the planet. 🧘🏽‍♀️ Join a live Mindfulness practice uniting participants worldwide for the Earth. 💪 Discover insights to deepen your eco-conscious habits and align your values with action. - Hear from global leaders on how conscious leadership, through self-awareness, responsibility, and a purpose-driven approach to guiding others, drives positive impact for people and the planet. - Join a live mindfulness practice uniting participants worldwide for the Earth. - Discover insights to deepen your eco-conscious habits and align your values with action.

Hello community! today is the day we're kicking off the 5-dimension reverse-engineering challenge to help us all get better at communicating the tangible value and worth of the IDGs. One question we always hear is ‘’How can I convince my clients to work with the IDGs?’ But the real question to ask is ‘How do I create an offering that translates the IDGs into concrete outcomes my clients care about? Over the next few week's we’ll explore together how to embody the IDGs in a way that translates into clear, tangible outcomes your clients recognize and are willing to pay for. Together we learn how to identify and articulate your clients’ external (what they say they need), internal (what they feel), and philosophical (what they believe) challenges and reverse Engineer IDG skills into Employee’s Needs, Organizational Pain Points and relative SDG Goals. Please watch the attached video and then pick one of the BEING skills and share your reverse-engineered thoughts in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zLUjTaSr9l8l1CI_3s7EF1KaHi3OeSLBVlL6JRpbYts/edit?usp=sharing As soon as we have some insights, we'll discuss further in one of the next Hangouts. We look forward to co-create this IDG language with you Sarah & Nadene P.S. please post questions, reflections, things that are not clear in the comments

The LearningPlanet Festival was first launched in 2020 in partnership with UNESCO. Since then, it has been organised each January to celebrate the International Day of Education, and has grown into a global movement uniting hundreds of thousands of participants from 193 countries. The goal of the LearningPlanet Festival is to foster a global movement and open coalition of diverse stakeholders — youth, educators, organisations, and changemakers — to reimagine the future of learning. It provides a platform to explore, share, and co-create innovative educational models that empower individuals and communities to take care of themselves, others, and the planet. Through dialogue and collaboration, the Festival aims to inspire action around key challenges such as education, youth leadership, well-being, equity, peace, technology, and planetary futures. Since 2006, the Learning Planet Institute has been dedicated to reinventing learning for all ages (lifelong learning) through collective intelligence in order to build sustainable & inclusive learning societies able to rise to the complex challenges we face. The Institute’s mission is to explore, research and share new ways of learning and cooperating in order to respond to the needs of the youth and the planet. By encouraging and disseminating a culture, methods and tools for empowerment, it transforms organisations. Ultimately, it leads communities and supports “Learning Planetizens” to take care of themselves, others and the planet. In 2025 InnerDevelopment@Work hosted the online workshop "What are the IDGs?" 👉In 2026 we plan to host a workshop entitled "Inner Skills for Planetary Impact: Youth & Educators Leading the Change" every other day during the festival at different times. If you are interested in co-facilitating this session OR co-creating a different topic drop a comment below between now and Monday November 10th.
