Daniel Pink first came to my attention many years ago with his book "A Whole New Mind - Why Right Brain-ers Will Rule the Future". He's written seven bestselling nonfiction books on a range of topics, from human motivation to the science of timing to a graphic novel career guide. This 3min video he posted earlier this week on multiple platforms and I shared it on LinkedIn and here with you. Our invitation is to get more curious about it in our THINKING Skill Builder next Tuesday February 24th at 12.30 and we hope you'll be able to join. You can find the link to the call in the calendar. If you aren't able to join us, do let us know your thoughts in the comments 🤓 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU6EL56jB2b/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

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.

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!

Neoliberal capitalism might be nearing its end. A new kind of economy is being built. Its happening in real time. Zohran Mamdani caught the headlines, but something just as radical is quietly bubbling away in Europe. Crazily, its coming from the very places that birthed Colonialism and Empire, the very extractive systems that continue to underpin modern day capitalism. The number of organisations working to build a new, holistic economic system is accelerating in Europe, with almost half of them founded in the last decade (link to the full story in comments, below). As the map below shows, there is a growing West-East divide on where those organisations come from. The UK, Germany, France, Spain and Belgium have the highest number of organisations dedicated to building a new type of economy, spawning new ideas such as housing collectives and community energy projects. That number begins to plummet the further east you go, with ingrained cultural resistance playing its part. Still, we all feel the exploitative roots of neoliberal capitalism. Minorities have long known this more than anyone - from the indigenous Sami people, under threat from the extraction of their ancestral lands because of 'self sufficiency' directives from the European Union, to British Bangladeshis like my own family working low-pay, dangerously frontline gig economy jobs during the Covid pandemic. If you're interested in learning what a new type of economy might look like, come and join my online conversation with Jo Swinson at Partners for a New Economy and Chris Monaghan of Metabolic next week with Alliance magazine, on Thursday 20th November (registration and time details here): https://lnkd.in/eienFCjm Thank you Shafi Mussadique for this!

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
