@Thomas Jordan has now built a dedicated website with resources primarily for people who want to use the IDG framework in organizations here AMAZING! Here are brief presentations of two key resources: ******* Manager’s Toolbox for Working with the Inner Development Guide This book is a practical collection of ready-to-use activities that managers and facilitators can apply directly with teams. It offers 31 clearly described exercises, ranging from a few minutes to extended sessions, each linked to specific IDG skills. The focus is on immediate usability: helping practitioners introduce inner development into meetings, workshops, and team processes without redesigning structures or requiring deep theoretical grounding. The Toolbox is especially useful as an entry point for organizations new to IDG work, or in contexts where time, mandate, or readiness for deeper structural change is limited. It emphasizes actionability and flexibility over long-term systemic design. ******* The Inner Development Guide for Teams This handbook focuses on how teams and departments develop collective capability over time. Rather than offering isolated activities, it provides structural “scaffolds” — meeting formats, routines, roles, and norms — that embed the Inner Development Guide into everyday work. Its core premise is that individual skills do not automatically become collective strengths; they must be enabled by deliberate structures and practices. The book is written for team leaders, managers, and consultants who want to shape how teams function as systems, building sustained capacities for reflection, collaboration, sensemaking, and action. It is best suited for practitioners aiming at long-term cultural change rather than quick interventions. ****** There are also a couple of web apps that give overviews of the practices, exercises, activities and structures that are described in more detail in the longer handbooks and essays.

There are SO many reasons to LOVE the Summit; meeting all the amazing practitioners, listening to the speakers stories of challenges and transformation, watching and listening to the beauty of the performing artists. I took over 40 photos today of insights and want to share 2 that were very thought provoking from one of the morning speakers; Kasper Benjamin Bjorkskov. He's the founder of No Objectives, a non profit research and design agency "on a mission to turn minority insights into majority actions". I share 2 of the slides he discussed around capitalism and why we the people need to step into our agency to create change, because actions shape our values. 🐦 Action is why we created InnerDevelopment@Work! Kirstin Dunlop (CEO of Climate KIC) in conversation with Christiana Figueras (Diplomat and one of the architects of the historic Paris Climate Agreement) spoke of the most difficult decision she took of changing the direction of the company towards holding space for new ways of doing and being to emerge with coalitions and having to sit with the extreme discomfort of the not knowing. Another discussion that I appreciated immensely was between Imam Dr. Muhammad Nurayn Ashafa and Rev. Dr. James Movel Wuye, who went from being mortal enemies to lifelong friends. They shared their story of death and destruction and how they realized that only through forgiveness ( a "new" competency) could they heal themselves and their communities 👉I could easily continue, however prefer to call upon our community members who either watched online, or where present in Stockholm to share what resonated for you. P. S. I was handed a new badge today from the Office of Kindness 🤗

Please mark your calendars for next Tuesday, October 21st, 12.30pm CET, for a 1-hour summit integration call, here on Skool. You'll find the link to join in the calendar tab. We'll record this one for our members. Please come to: share 💛 what you loved, what you didn't love so much ❓ what questions you're holding 🧩 what integration means to you ⚡ what you're going to act upon 🤝 how we can collaborate in this community Looking forward! Sarah & Nadene P.S. Welcome to the new members whom we've met at the Summit 💚 P.P.S. Please share with people you met at the summit and watch parties 🙏

The IDG summit is getting closer. Only 2 weeks now... Who will be there in person this year? And who will watch online at a watch party? Add a comment below with 'in person' or 'watch party'. @Nadene Canning and I will be there and we'll organize a gathering, still need to figure out when as there's so much going on already ;-)
