@Nadene Canning and myself both have our birthdays in January, we're both Capricorns. It would be fun to know some of our birthdays, and if you know it, your Zodiac sign. The poll didn't let me add 12 options, so I had to group 2 months together. If you like, add your exact birthdate and zodiac sign in the comments ;-)

Hello Community, We're back with COLLABORATING the 4th dimension to our reverse-engineering challenge. 👉 Here is the Google spreadsheet to add your reflections about the real client outcomes* that would benefit the organization by putting in place the 'COLLABORATION' dimension. *Think about client needs and pain points when adding your reflections 💥Next week on Tuesday January 13th, 12.30pm we'll welcome you for our first SKILL BUILDER of the year, to discuss a competency within Collaboration.

In many organizations, we still look at collaboration, learning and leadership as controlling practices. These hinder creativity and inclusion. Liberating Structures offers an alternative approach that is simple and easy to learn. It is a collection of 33 practical methods that foster engagement, creativity and trust. With the description and step-by-step guide to all 33 methods, the LS website has additional sources and links to LS communities of practice.

And whether it's the same dish every year ;-) For me, my dad will make a lamb roast this year and I'm celebrating in Bern, Switzerland, where I was born and raised. And our meal varies each year.

I hope you had the chance to connect with loved ones, recharge and reflect as we transitioned from 2024 into 2025. Taking time to rest and reflection is a powerful way to prepare for the year ahead, and I sincerely wish you’re entering this new year with renewed energy and clarity. Yesterday, Nadene, Sarah, and I had the chance to meet in person to discuss and plan the next steps for our community. It was an inspiring session, and we are eager to share more soon. One announcement we can already make is our first 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓. It is a chance to reconnect, share ideas, and set the focus for the year ahead. Together we will lean in and sense the unique energies this new year holds for each of us. 📅 Date: Tuesday, January 14th, 2025 🕒 Time: 12 to 1 pm CET Please find detail in the calendar. Let’s start this year by aligning our intentions and strengthening our connections as a community. Looking forward to seeing many of you there! 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐬?
