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.

On Friday, @Nadene Canning and I had a particularly long call, to prep for the video we shared with you earlier. After two hours of sitting we needed to get up, shake it out ... and the effects were instant and amazing. How do you reset ?

@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 ;-)

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!
