New Work and Sustainability

Join me on the journey to new work and sustainability!

Imagine your organization as a living system (not a machine) designed for people to thrive, grow, innovate, and laugh. Bringing themselves and your business forward. I believe we can create better working environments and companies that are better for communities and for the planet!

Therefore, in this podcast you can explore:

• cutting edge new work practices and sustainability practices for your organization, for your team, and for you as a leader
• hands-on conversations with international experts in new work and sustainability
• new insights, ideas, perspectives, methods, tools, skills, hacks, learning nuggets

so we can all get out of our silos and learn from each other!

This podcast if for:

leaders, HR and sustainability managers, agile folks, and everyone who wants to make a difference inside the workplace, while protecting our planet.

Episode 2: Play it forward. Play for organizations.

My guest today

Nancy Beers is a highly appreciated colleague of mine. She is a play facilitator for corporate teams, a keynote speaker, and a scrum master. She lives in the Netherlands and works in Europe. Connect with her on LinekdIn and find out more about her work.

Our topic

Mobilize and experience your superpowers as a team. Play allows you to experience your strengths as a team, and where you might want to change some things to mobilize your team superpowers even more!

Playing is the best way to learn, share and be creative!  Want to find out more how play can help your team? Want to learn some small games you can try out face to face or remote that have a great effect on your team resilience, team building and how you relate to each other?

Play can help your team to get to know each other better, understand your relationships, experience your communication, and overcome obstacles together. Start the change with one game at a time and play it forward.  

Want to play a game with me? Here is my question: how many games do we present during the podcast and how are they called? I offer the first person who lists all games in a comment to the LI post for this Episode a free coaching session.

Resources we mention:

• Google the many games we mention and you find them easily.
• Join our wonderful communities of practice to play and learn more games: www.play14.org, www.playinbusiness.nl, https://www.globalplaybrigade.org/
• My current song that guides me: Stromae: Santé

Imagine your organization as a living system (not a machine) designed for people to thrive, grow, innovate, and laugh. Bringing themselves and your business forward. Rather than reducing our negative impact, how about spawning new systems and structure to create more value, and constructively contributing to life’s evolution.

Episode 1: deep democracy meets organizations

My guest today:

Virginia Anderson, a highly appreciated colleague of mine, leadership and performance coach, consultant and trainer. Virginia lives in Luxembourg and works in Europe. Connect with her on LinkedIn and find out more about her work.

Our topic - Deep democracy meets organizations:

What is wrong with asking your team? How do you create a space for all voices to be heard in your organization? And why do we need this? In organizations people need a space to have a voice! One way to create a space where all voices can be heard is the process work and systemic constellation work approach called “deep democracy” by Arnold Mindell. An experienced coach facilitates deep democracy and supports the team, department, or organization through the process and the debrief. You can use it in leadership development, team development, organizational development, in a change, or transformation process.

In this episode we discuss the what, the why and the how exactly of a deep democracy process in organizations and for teams.

Resources we mention:

Arnold Mindell (2014) Sitting in the Fire: Large Group Transformation Through Diversity and Conflict.

Anne Rød/Marita Fridjhon (2020): Creating Intelligent Teams: Leading with Relationship Systems Intelligence.

My current song that guides me: Mercedez Sosa: Gracias a la vida
