Hi Lisa
Hope your get together went well this weekend.
I have been meaning to connect after the Mindful Leadership process you facilitated in October. Both Lorraine and I have really appreciated the two days. Good luck for the next series. You and Stephen are a great combo and I am sure you will go from strength to strength.
Cheers Gael

Lisa, I was being Wali and forgot to invite you personally. Note: Please, see my lastest blog on Glenda Eoyang, I welcome your feedback and comments on the blog.

Lisa, check out my lastest blog :)

I trust that you will enjoy your new insights and learning this summer in Halifax with invited guest speakers and facilitators. I invite you to be open to learning an emerging field of the science of complexity, i.e., Human Systems Dynamics (HDS) and the Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) in organic systems, i.e., organizational settings. The scholarship of Daniel Goleman and his research team in community life of humans describes it precisely as having the "science of results", to be adaptive in chaotic environments, no matter what. I am thanking you in advance for listening and being opened for giving yourself permission for new learning and new ways of being. I wish you the best ever learning at ALIA this summer. If you choose, please give my warmest regards to Glenda.

Now let's have beautiful exchanges/conversations and see our beautiful differences and notice our how beautifully we as individuals can place them in containers to make the difference that is the difference as we pursue three questions: What, so what, and now what? in multiple stories and realities. Subsequently, we would have the capacity to influence the difference that makes the difference and repeat the process, as it relates to organizational settings in chaotic environments, peace and conflict projects, substance abuse programs, programs with effective treatment for veterans suffering with symptoms of PTSD, marriages, youth at risk programs, leadership development programs, restoring lack of trust efforts, leading transformation projects, organizational culture change projects, integrating spirituality and leadership in organization development programs, transitional moments and non-verbal communication projects and/or case studies, and developing coherence in social intelligence in organizations projects and/or case studies. We look forward to the engagement and learning.

Warm regards,
Wali

Kia ora Lisa...

You could do a cafe with three groups of three...gets at the intimacy of the small group and allows people to shift around. With a small group you can do a few cafe rounds and debrief in a circle as well...I'll bet the group will go deep.

Yes - Gael & I are meeting in Toronto & have a weel of meetings & activities prior to going to Halifax - so meeting up after our return would be great

Kia ora Lisa

thanks for the contact am in the frantic count down to being able to leave NZ to get to the June Summer Institute in Halifax on the 15th so am not engaging much on line at the moment - back in NZ on 30th June

Hi Lisa

Good to see you here
wish you are well there

Lisa, it is great having you as a friend!!!! I am wishing you the very best at ALIA West in a couple of weeks. I am scheduled to be with Glenda Eoyang at the Human Systems Dynamics Institute (www.hsdinstitute.org) in MN for a certification program May 18 - 20. Due to my prior and competing commitments, I will not be able to join you and others at ALIA West. Again, enjoy your learning, travel safe and have FUN! Cheers, Wali

Hi Lisa, I was reading your questions on what draws you to ALIA and they caught my attention. I remember Dr. Ray Blanchard a psychologist and one of my master teacher in actual field work in Malaysia (organizational transformational), who left teaching at American universities, and a successful clinical practice to give himself permission to design the curriculum, and facilitate individual and organizational transformational with the leading adult learning organization in the world at that time. In the 80s the bankers of New Zealand hired Dr. Blanchard as a consultant to create outcomes that would create new eyes (lenses) for them collectively to see themselves as allies, rather than as competitors. The bankers' collective learning, choices, declarations, and committed actions built a strong movement that favored the bankers instead of government regulations, which benefited them as a "valued industry", i.e., "a valued-based team." We have witnessed for many years when at least agreed upon values are lived out, coupled with being a resonant leader culture in teams, organizations, and communities, respectively. Extraordinary results occur with ordinary people. I assert as a member of ALIA I am enjoying this global learning network which appears to be passionate about being on a journey of being and becoming authentic leaders. I am inviting you to join my page as a friend and I would like to join your page as a friend as well. I look forward to learning more about your interest, and ongoing conversations. Wali
