Adam talks with Susan Olesek, founder of the Enneagram Prison Project. They delve into the distinction between personality and essence, what power actually means, and how the Enneagram can help us shed ego and access the truth of who we are. Susan shares how this work has impacted folks who are behind bars—and all she has learned from them.

Graduates: you can interact with Susan live at the the Graduate Learning Lab, which she’ll be leading on November 18 in San Francisco. (Note that this event is open to graduates of the Professional Coaching Course only.)

NVW founder James Flaherty joins Adam for the second episode in a series devoted to the huge question of how we can possibly respond to the world’s ever-increasing crises. This time they focus on how we can come to know ourselves, others and the world beyond the surface-level experience many of us are used to—and why this is important. How can we connect more deeply to our circumstances and let our responses inform us? Cultivating this way of being may require letting some things go.

The book mentioned in this episode is Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age by Sherry Turkle

NVW founder James Flaherty joins Adam for the first episode in a series devoted to the huge question of how we can possibly respond to the world’s many crises. With change happening faster than our bodies were designed to process—not to mention the fact that there is so much we can’t do anything about—why is it important to stay present and try to understand it anyway? How can we do this without getting overwhelmed? James and Adam begin this complex conversation with some eye-opening thoughts and useful resources.

For this episode we’re joined by faculty member Julie Engel. In her work with hundreds of individuals and organizations, Julie has deeply studied how we orient to systems. She has found that understanding the realities in which we’re living helps us avoid being swept up and reactive. Julie elucidates four types of systems, gives several resources for taking up our own study of them, and offers practices to keep ourselves grounded in the midst of chaos and complexity.

Here is some of the work mentioned in this episode:

Dave Snowden, Cognitive Edge

Dan Siegel, Mindsight Institute

David Rock, NeuroLeadership

Pat Ogden, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

“What am I doing all this for? Why am I working so hard? Why am I running around so fast? ” As head of Google’s internal leadership consulting practice, Kathrin O’Sullivan is no stranger to questions like these. She joins us to explore all that busyness actually keeps us separate from, and how we might connect to a larger stillness.

 

Here‘s a great song about busyness.

For this episode we are joined by NVW faculty member Kristin Cobble, who brings her decades of expertise in organizational development to the conversation. We explore how systems (organizations, communities, societies) impact us—and how they can be transformed.

When you act on behalf

  of something greater than yourself,

    you begin

      to feel it acting through you

         with a power that is greater than your own.

This is grace.

—From “Grace and the Great Turning” by Joanna Macy.
