Hello dear IDG Community I come from a tiny remote area mountain community in Tasmania (Australia) embarking on preparedness for rapid change. This is taking us into all sorts of spaces such as fire ecology, food and water security, land management etc, but we are increasingly aware that our socio-emotional integrity and resilience is central to all else we do. As funding opportunities for preparedness are increasingly available to rural communities like ours, we are on the look out for in-situ workshop facilitators who could support us in growing our social cohesion in the light of change. I’m wondering if IDG practitioners exist in Australia who could help us with our project life through inner development training. I’d be so grateful for any direction (I don’t have LinkedIn, so websites, emails, phone numbers would be better contact details for me - or I’m happy to share my contact details for referrals). Warmest, liana

Hi to everyone exploring the space where inner work meets impact, many of us feel the deep potential of the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) — not just as a framework, but as a path to more conscious leadership and meaningful change. But we also know it can feel challenging to talk about IDGs with clients, especially when they’re under pressure, facing real-world problems, and not necessarily asking for "inner development." The truth? One of the biggest hurdles is simply this: 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐃𝐆𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭. So when it comes to bringing the IDGs into real conversations with clients or colleagues, one big question often stops us in our tracks: “𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰?” 💡 This is exactly the question we need to lean into — with empathy, clarity, and courage. ✨As Sarah stated in her latest post, we are preparing a 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟑𝐫𝐝 where we’ll explore how to speak about the IDGs in ways that truly connect to the client’s world — especially their most pressing pain points. But we want to build this with you – not for you. 💬 𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: - What are some real challenges you’ve heard from clients (or your organization)? - Where do you sense the IDGs could offer support or shift something meaningful? You don’t need the “perfect” answer. Just your honest experience or intuition. We grow this community by showing up. Bit by bit. Word by word. Let’s gently break the silence here — and begin building something meaningful together. I am going to start the conversation with my first thoughts in the comments. With care, Sibylle

Hello community, I am happy to be joining here thanks to @Nadene Canning share. Been taking in this space and all the resources here for a few weeks and today feels like the right time to introduce myself as I reroot again in Switzerland after a few years away - deeply linked to my own inner development and the skill building and practicing to support ours on their journey. This image comes as a reflection of my inner state to both pray for my own work environment but to foster an environment that is life affirming for others in their own way, respecting the difference between us. I look forward to meeting you in person if you are in/around Geneva and/or online for a walk and talk https://zcal.co/annateresakopacz/30min More about my work and projects: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annakopacz/ My current professional home (professional collective) https://www.greaterthan.works/ Deep heart work on transforming our communication strategies : https://withintention.studio/beicommunication

One of the simplest and most playful ways to introduce the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) in organizations and teams is through IDG cards. They open space for dialogue, reflection, and discovery – and make the abstract instantly tangible. 🎴 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰? In our ID@work community, we have inspiring members who have developed their own unique IDG card sets! Each set offers a different gateway into meaningful conversations and collective learning. Together, we’ve already explored two brilliant examples. Just follow the link to get to the recordings: 🟢 Sara’s session – introducing her powerful Inner Development Kit - Link to recording in this post. 🟣 Marielle van Hemert’s session – connecting IDGs with the SDGs using the Inner Alchemy Card Deck - Link to recording in this post. You can also jump straight to our resource classroom and find both recordings here. ✨ Whether in workshops, team check-ins, or leadership development – these cards help us reflect, connect, and grow.

How did it feel? What did you learn? What shifted as a result? 📣 I’ll go first – check the comments for my personal story. Let’s inspire each other. Let’s grow together. And let’s bring the IDGs to life – one courageous step at a time. With appreciation, Sibylle
