Integral Facilitation - W/ Diane Musho Hamilton

Remko has been coaching and facilitating multicultural and highly challenging contexts in the civil society for the last 2 decades. His professional journey has taken him from his native city of Rotterdam to Bangadesh, India and Mozambique, working in various advisory and leadership positions for international NGOs and their networks of partners. Today, as a senior Integral Facilitator, Master Coach as a consultant, he brings over two decades of civil society experience in his coaching and facilitation practice  to support executive leadership teams and their organizations across the globe. His approach is based on the principles that: 1/ any improvements in your “outer game” are deeply linked to the “inner game” - and that this is true for leaders, teams, organizations, networks and whole societies; 2/ there is a world to discover at the intersection between individual and collective development, 3/ that the current predicament of a VUCA world offers unprecedented opportunities for growth.

“It is not the world outside us that has created the greatest problems facing civilization (or organizations), but our own limited consciousness. ” In this episode, I interview Marilyn Schlitz, an acclaimed social anthropologist, consciousness researcher and award-winning author. Marilyn has published the award-winning film “Death makes life possible” with Deepak Chopra, and is the CEO/President Emeritus at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. In our conversation we discuss the importance of recognizing worldviews and the necessity for leaders to learn how to accept, address and integrate those. Marilyn also shares about her unique and cutting-edge scientific researches in the field of consciousness (including distant viewing, healing, distant staring and psychomantium), and their implications for our societies.

This episode is specially for Facilitators and Leaders who want to enable a team or a group of people to reach a new level of outcome with minimal energy or resources. I really enjoyed Keith energy and mastery. Mickael Unwittingly, the conventional structures used to organize how people routinely work together stifle inclusion and engagement. Liberating Structures are these new practices that liberate people's creativity, energy and engagement at work. Keith is the co-author of The Surprising Power of Liberating Structures – Simple Rules to Unleash a Culture of Innovation. In this very inspiring interview, he explains with very concrete examples how minimal liberating structures can shift the culture of an organization and generate results at a new level.

B Corp is  a movement that brings together thousands of companies worldwide and that seeks to transform the economy by demonstrating, through the achievements of the B Corp community, that it is possible to reconcile the profit motive (for profit) and the collective interest (for purpose). Their standards  affect not only companies' business models and value chains, but also that drives a cultural transformation. You can not be exactly the same person in a B Corp. Their approach is an invitation for becoming more conscious and mindful of our ecosystems as companies, and also as people. In this episode, I interview Augustin Boulot, Executive Director of B Lab France. To know more, visit www.bcorporation.net

Jan Artem Henriksson is the Executive Director of the Inner Development Goals Initiative. He is also co-founder of Self Leaders - a Nordic leadership consultancy, senior faculty member at Stockholm School of Economics Executive Education, and a board member of Ekskaret Foundation. In 2015, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals gave us a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030. There is a vision of what needs to happen, but progress along this vision has so far been disappointing.  We lack the inner capacity to deal with our increasingly complex environment and challenges. Fortunately, modern research shows that the inner abilities we now all need can be developed. This was the starting point for the 'Inner Development Goals' initiative.The IDGs will provide an essential framework of transformative skills for sustainable development, a field-kit on how to develop these necessary skills - open source and free for all to use. The current IDGs framework represents 5 dimensions and 23 skills and qualities which are especially crucial for leaders who address SDGs, but fundamentally for all of us!  It is the greatest possible accelerator to reach the Sustainable Development Goals and create a prosperous future for all humanity.

Christiane is a self-organization specialist, TED speaker, coach and an entrepreneur. She has been among the first to teach and implement Holacracy since 2009. Her journey has led her to address in a very deep way the People dimension of self-organization. In her new book called “New Stories of Love, Power and Purpose”, she invites us to understand our human potential and gives us some tools to unleash it. In this interview, she lays out some key distinctions that help me refine even deeper my understanding of what self organization means. In particular: What does self-organization actually mean if you look closer? What in the powershift is the most difficult for leaders? Why do words such as “leaders” do not make sense anymore in Self-organizations? The need to distinct and address two connected but totally different contexts, People and Organization, what it means and and how to address them? The definition of Purpose as an evolutionary need, distinct from a fabricated need. The understanding of people as Purpose agent and what it means in the organization culture. and much more! I warmly recommend this podcast for people passionate and willing to deepen their understanding of the subtle but radical changes at play when we evolve towards self-organization.

In this episode I break a taboo by sharing my personal experience of an altered state of consciousness through legal psychedelics and how it has deeply impacted me positively in my life and in my work. I interviewed Christopher Kabakis and Dmitrij Achelrod (PHD), co-founders of Evolute Institute, who present their purpose, approach and results with leaders. Let me explain. We all know it, in an ever-more uncertain and brutal world, organizations need leaders able to embrace complexity and to find ways to move forward while creating positive impact by integrating what seems opposite, without being taken by their own bias, preferences or psychological wounds. This ability requires a journey of self-growth. Over the last 30-40 years, the field of leadership development has been mostly based on psychological/cognitive approaches which indeed bring about results, but often quite slowly and with lots of effort. It is fair to say that it takes time to grow when your personal journey is happening through your conscious mind, precisely because the field of growth IS the uncounsious. So could we find a faster and simpler way to do it? Evolute Institute offers a research-based, professional and innovative approach to organizational leadership development by using the power of altered states of consciousness, including breath-work, wilderness, mindfulness and legal psychedelics. For curated and courageous leaders who have already started their inner development journey and want to progress, they offer a series of scientifically informed and wisdom-inspired personal development methods with their summoned team of experienced facilitators, leadership coaches, as well as clinical experts and psycho-spiritual guides. They are based in Germany. An invitation for mature leaders to suspend judgement, listen, and then make up their mind...!  https://evolute-institute.com
