Real change happens when we bring our whole humanity to our work.
Our bodies,
our communities,
our systems,
are begging for change.
Business has the potential to create real change if we start by addressing how the work culture we've inherited is set up to stifle it.
Together, we're refusing robotic work culture.
Join us in modeling a more human way to work.
THE PROBLEM
Our inherited work culture demands that we treat ourselves like machines.
It's ineffective. It's inhumane. And it's a freakin' drag.
This culture of ⛓️confined humanity⛓️ says that work & personal, head & body, are separated by some imaginary line.
It says we should postpone collective impact as we chase the corner office.
It says it's normal to contort ourselves into a 'work self' that doesn't make others too uncomfortable.
And the moment we consider doing things differently, it tells us that challenging the norm is too risky.
Well, we think it's time to start upsetting apple carts. 🍎
We're updating the pervasive hyper-individualistic (and hyper-delusional) definition of success.
THE WAY FORWARD
Change-making leaders are those who work with our whole humanity by developing Nervous System Skill through somatics.
By integrating somatic practices into our daily lives we expand our ability to bring all of ourselves to each moment: that full-fledged, messy-AF, authentic humanness.
Somatic practices develop Nervous System Skill in three ways:
NS Awareness | Ability to sense subtle physiological shifts
NS Resilience | Recovery from being off-center
NS Groundedness | Presence amidst chaos & uncertainty
Bucking the trend of mechanistic work means evolving work culture to reflect what it means to be human.
As leaders, it all starts within each of us.
That's how we live a life aligned with our gifts.
That's how we show up to our purpose.
That's how we create real change.
TOGETHER, AS WHOLE HUMANS.
Our leadership team would not be nearly as effective without this very special perspective and partnership.
It has totally transformed how we operate.
