Dear all, Its good to be here. Besides trauma and how it affects one`s being and showing up, my special interest area is how child bearing and rearing affects women (and sometimes men) at work and the interplay between how much the organisations support families at different stages in their life and work satisfaction and productivity. I have chosen to work independently after a career with UNICEF in different countries and am in the process of exploring my own inner landscape while holding space for my clients as well as thinking how we can bring the IDGs to younger generations through intergenerational learning. I look forward to learning together.

Let's share the programs, cohorts, or workshops that actually matter and made a difference for our lives - and our work. For me two come to mind: 1. The Art of Hosting 2. The Holding Space Certification And right now I'm looking at 'Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet' from Plumvillage, with Thich Nhat Hanh and Christiana Figueres. Has anyone done it ? What about you? - 🎓 What program: - 💡 Why this program: - 🌱 How did it make a lasting impact: - Looking forward to reading your stories and recommendations! 👇

The decline of socialising in modern society has been a steady process, but on many measures of isolation a gap really opened up after the pandemic. The FT’s John Burn-Murdoch examines the data behind the damaging “new normal” which raises concerns about inner development and general wellbeing. 🥹 Very curious to hear your perspectives from the community on this Isolation
