From leading to standing Thank you @Elif Kus Saillard for making sense of our collective reality and looking to the future. What capacities support you to be an “Inter-Stander” in your work?

Hello Community We look forward to seeing you on our 2nd Skillbuilder next week, where we go deeper into the COLLABORATION dimension, and reflect on some prompts we'll give you in break-out rooms. >> Join the next SKILL BUILDER on Jan 20th, 8.30am CET >> Join the conversation on your values here >> Tell us your birthday and your Zodiac sign 🎂 With care Sarah & Nadene

Hi Community On today's Skillbuilder we explored what it really takes to lead—and collaborate—across difference in today’s fractured world. @Nadene Canning opened the session by framing 3 themes that feel especially urgent right now: • The perils of silence • The resilience of civil society • Moral ambition as a leadership capacity This was inspired by Jonathan Normand’s recent reflection “Davos in the Shadow of Unilateralism: A New Leadership Imperative the session invited us to look honestly at our own choices: >> When do we choose safety or silence over responsibility? 💬 What emerged Those present shared candidly about: • Speaking up (or staying silent) in meetings • Managing energy and disappointment when advocating for change • Taking responsibility even when impact feels uncertain ✨ Collaboration, it turns out, is not just a skill—it’s a practice of courage, care, and collective agency. What emerges for you when you reflect on this question: Where am I choosing safety or silence over responsibility? 👇 Drop your reflection in the comments With care Sarah & Nadene P.S. The Skillbuilders replace the previous weekly Hangouts. We meet every week for an applied IDG skill building reflection / discussion / action-taking on Tuesday, rotating between 8.30 am, 12.30pm and 6pm (CET time). Please join us next Tuesday, Jan 27th, at 6pm CET

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!

Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp owner Meta announced that it has signed a series of large-scale nuclear power agreements, supporting up to 6.6 GW of energy by 2035 and enabling the social media and technology giant to help meet the energy demand of its rapidly growing data center footprint in the U.S., while maintaining progress on its clean energy and sustainability goals. Seems like the growth model has just taken a big leap, but is it a leap forward, or backward? Any thoughts on connecting the dots here? https://www.esgtoday.com/meta-unveils-series-of-major-nuclear-energy-deals-to-power-u-s-data-centers-support-clean-energy-goals/
