296 - John Churchill: A Cosmology for Transformative Times

In today’s conversation with Dave Schoof we explore what becomes possible when leaders let go of fixed change agendas and develop new ways of navigating through subtle sensing, imagination and emergence. We unpack how dreamwork, humility and the capacity to stay in the unknown are pathways to deeper sensemaking, more responsive leadership and a more expansive understanding of work and impact.For more resources, visit the podcast episode page at https://www.coachesrising.com/podcast/learning-to-navigate-without-a-map-with-dave-schoof/Dive deeper into transformational coaching with us…Start each week with inspiration, insights, and tools for transformational coaching from our founder, Joel Monk.
