Learning in Dignity

Post by on

Dignity (etymologically,  ‘a state of being worthy’) is essential to the process and purpose of education. Yet, our societal narrative has lost the plot in terms of what boxes need to be ticked and how many ‘followers’ need to be clicked- in order to be worthy. It is not only the prerequisites to dignity that are pathologically constructed, but also the timelines. This is most evident in schools, where teachers report to having ‘no time to teach’ as they are so busy jumping through administrative hoops and stuffing a vast curriculum of facts into the heads of young learners for them to pass the next test, and for their school to maintain an ‘outstanding’ rating .

Engage in the Possibility of Passion, Purpose AND Profit

Post by on

It is possible, and if you think it is not- you are simply not aware of the cases where this is a reality in business around the world. There are organisations out there, operating in a whole new playing field- those who have abandoned their disillusionment and loyalty for the old system for a better way of being (a better way of seeing each quarter through). Raj Sisodia has long been interested in and researching these organisations- “Firms of Endearment”. Through his various publications, based on work with Universities in the United States, and consulting for global organisations, he has been able to shed some light on the process behind such win-win scenario’s in today’s […]

Conscious Living Network: Self Inquiry #RSAinLondon

Post by on

The next Conscious Living Network topic is ‘Self Inquiry’ One of the key purposes of the Conscious Living Network is to grow in our ability to be more ‘response-able’ in any given moment including, most importantly, the present moment, the only one we ever have. Some moments are more difficult than others, and it is through self-awareness that we are able to manage the moment with more ease, grace and choice. Life gives us enough to worry about in a day, and it is often through our own patterns of behaviours that we experience the most frustration and suffering, despite our best efforts. Self-inquiry is a useful way to explore aspects of ourselves that we […]

#wtf do millennials really want?

Post by on

Millennials, the upcoming generation of leaders (currently aged between approximately 20-35 years) who senior managers are somewhat anxious about. Frustrations include: “how to engage, motivate and retain them?”, “how can these youngsters expect to come to work and sit on Facebook?”, “they have an air of entitlement and feel the rules shouldn’t apply to them” I would like frame this age group not as a new species of strange beasts, but rather as the by-product of where we are at today. As time and evolution would have it, today’s 30 year olds are not going about the art of life in the same way that 30 year olds were 30 years ago. The common ground […]

Calling for a Radical Recalibration of Education (part1)

Post by on

A Nudge to Boost Creativity/ Consciousness/ Mindfulness/ Awareness in Education I am committed to teaching, living and learning the paradigm shift where love trumps fear, abundance trumps scarcity, and creativity trumps conformity. Do you ever wonder why humans need to wait until they have a mid-life crisis or some form of brutal impact with life, which is beyond their control, in order for them to wake up, re-adjust and continue living in a better way, or in some cases -to begin Living at all? It is a fascinating pattern to see, time and time again, how truly successful leaders (by successful I loosely mean having achieved abundance and fulfillment in their lifetime, while creating a […]
