Hello! We’re stepping into March with energy, ideas, and action! Here’s what’s coming up next week in our community: 🏗️ Tuesday, March 3 — 30minute Weekly Skill Builder: Discernment What we’ll do: - Reflect on decision-making and what drives clarity - Practice moving from insight to action - Share perspectives across our global community Time: 08:30–09:00 CET | 16:30–17:00 KST | 17:30–18:00 AEST | 18:30–19:00 AEDT We’ve chosen a time that enables participation from Asia, Australia, and Europe, so everyone can join the conversation. 🥁 Thursday, March 5 — Facilitation & Design Incubator (Premium Members) Time: 13:00 CET Theme: Designing the High-Performance Shift In this session, Nadene will run through a real client design proposal: moving a team from conflict to high performance to deliver a high-stakes global event. You’ll gain: - A step-by-step walkthrough of the facilitation process, from scoping to delivery - Insights on why each phase matters for credibility, impact, and design quality - A facilitator capability checklist and a personal assessment tool This is a hands-on opportunity to see facilitation as strategic leadership in action. ⚡ Highlights from THIS Week’s Skill Builder We explored Daniel Pink’s three practices of great thinkers: 1. Applying ideas — turning learning into action 2. Connecting the unrelated — spotting patterns and systems 3. Recognizing opportunity cost — knowing what not to do We reflected on which idea had most changed our behavior in the past year, moving from theory to lived practice. Five Collective Insights: - Applied learning changes behavior — reflection makes it visible - Sustainable action requires head, heart, and gut alignment - Community accountability is systemic — our participation shapes others - Visibility is a leadership practice when grounded in values - Meaningful relationships grow from reciprocity, not utility 💡 A standout observation: when individuals withdraw responsibility, it can trigger a reverse “tragedy of the commons”, lowering engagement across the group.

What if I told you there are people who are naturally empathetic, creative, curious, long-term thinkers. People with a deep appreciation for nature, who are altruistic, cooperative, and caring? People who want to contribute, not compete. Yet, we don’t see them leading as often as we should. Why? Because many of them see their sensitivity as a burden, rather than a gift. High sensitivity can feel like a double-edged sword. These sensitive people often get lost in self-doubt, insecurity, indecisiveness, and overstimulation. But they posses the qualities we need to drive real, human-centered change in business, society, and our planet. These sensitive individuals are the new generation of change makers. The ones who can connect empathy with action, and purpose with impact. If we can empower them, show them their strength, and give them the space to lead, we can create something truly meaningful. 🌸 Love to hear what you think or if you have any questions on the matter!

this is one of the slides I used during the Unconference workshop called 'How to Translate the IDGs into concrete Outcomes your Clients Care About' and it will be the basis of our Client Value Challenge. Yes, we are bridge-makers, but we are also translators who need to be really good at speaking both languages, the IDG-language (or the new paradigm language), but also the business language and current (or some might say old paradigm) language. Because it's only when we address the organizational challenges (pain points) that we get heard, understood and taken seriously. That's why we'll become experts at reverse-engineering - or translating. From IDG language (the different dimensions and skills) to organizational pain points, employee's needs and respective SDGs. P.S. in the last hangout we noticed most of us speak at least 2 languages! 👉 How many languages do you speak ? Drop it in the comments

I am Fleur and I am excited to join the Inner Development community! I am from the Netherlands, but I currently live in Germany. I did my masters, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, at Lund University in Sweden. With a deep ambition to create a more sustainable and inclusive world, I embarked on this journey of entrepreneurship. Later I wrote my thesis about the correlation between Aesthetic Sensitivity and Sustainable Entrepreneurial Intention. Right now I do my exchange at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich where my courses focus on strategy and management. I also work as a marketing manager for the BENELUX for a UK company. I am looking forward to connect with all of you, to learn from and be inspired by you! If you want to chat, please reach out!
