In what ways do my leadership practices come through? What are the techniques, skills and context that I lean on when approaching structure, systems or change within organizations?
systems thinking
Creating a learning organization involves systems thinking. This means creating an environment where new patterns are welcomed and embraced. Like:
A shared vision keeps people invested, eager and excited. It involves being in touch with one's own learning agenda and the organization's responsibility to that personal growth. These interconnected parts of a whole help organizations develop new patterns that shape new outcomes.
appreciative inquiry
Exercising active listening through dialogue, curiosity and asking questions.
Remembering that the 'to-do' list is not the most important thing.
Team oriented approaches come with knowing your team.
'growth' mindset
Flexing the power of 'yet.'
Staying action oriented
A love of learning and continual development is what elevates us to the next level.
Staying curious and asking questions are key to developmental success.

Christians' suggests there are three universal principles cross-culturally: human dignity, truth, nonviolence. Staying grounded in these principles honors human sacredness.
dialogic OD methods
Exercising the Art of Hosting.
Super emergent change by creating space for it to happen!
Build relationships through convening events.
Use generative images to catalyze change proposals.
Build inclusiveness in organizational community.
process - steward
I've learned through the course of this program that I have a knack for analyzing gaps and seeing room for improvement. My intention is to act as a steward to the process rather than as a control. Relinquishing ownership keeps me actively engaged and excited for change.
