Enabling Flow via the cycles of Life
As humans, we have separated ourselves from the natural flow and cycles of life for a long time. We have been talking about and practising good ways of working as teams, while delivering great products for decades now. We know about purpose, value and psychological safety; we understand flow state, different motivators and good Teal company culture and leaders.
Do you feel like we are still missing something? Like there is still a void that we are trying to fill? Welcome to Regeneration, the step beyond sustainability into ways of being to build life, rather than simply consuming.
We believe regeneration the missing piece of the puzzle in how we understand and hold ourselves, as well as how we coach, interact and basically exist. Within this, Seasonality and the Living Systems Principles are the next steps towards a future where the way we work helps to tackle environmental and societal challenges.
The session explores regeneration via the disconnects we are all feeling, the 7 living systems principles, and seasonality as laid out in the book by Giles Hutchins and Laura Storm: Regenerative Leadership.
This course is for those exploring beyond the norm. You are questioning the ways we work and behave as it is in a way that does not emulate nature – the system that has survived and thrived for so long. Here, we go beyond agility into regeneration to find that missing piece, which can be fulfilled by life and regeneration. Should we not be simulating what works, rather than forcing control that is causing ruptures everywhere?
