Do you want to inspire global change? Start local…
Do you feel overwhelmed by the scale of the challenges we’re facing in the world today? It’s hard to deny that, as individuals, we can do little to impact global warming, corruption in politics, growing income disparity and inequality in all of it’s forms. But this article I read recently has shone a little light of possibility […]
Who are our inspirational leaders?
It’s been just over a week since we experienced Sacred Leadership and listened to Tjanara Goreng Goreng’s presentation at The Art Gallery NSW. A provocative question posed by Tjanara has stayed with me: Who are the inspirational leaders in Australia?
What are you doing this time next week?
How is it coming back to business after the long weekend? Did the extra breathing room give you pause and time to contemplate more than the daily task list? Did you nurture relationship with yourself, others and your sense of place (at least in Sydney the gardens got watered)?
We are all leaders, but what’s this sacred business?
Have you seen our communications about Sacred Leadership and thought “that’s not for me”? Maybe you don’t identify as a leader or the word ‘sacred’ conjures up images of barefoot hippies dancing around a yurt. While we have nothing against those practices, and may even have indulged on occasion, you might be interested to know that […]
Sacred Leadership: Insights from my research – A guest post from Tjanara Goreng Goreng
In April I submitted my PhD ‘The road to Eldership: How Aboriginal culture creates sacred leaders’. In just two weeks time, on the morning of June 19th, I’ll be partnering with Talkpoint and Mark Spain of Global Leadership to bring my findings and insights to Australia’s business community. At the Art Gallery NSW we will weave storytelling, art, […]
Gathering Men to Sacred Leadership – A guest post from Mark Spain
When checking in with Robyn, Maria and Tjanara, I was delighted to hear that so many women had registered for Sacred Leadership and curious as to why, so far, less men had taken the plunge.
What the world needs now…
If like me your Saturday night involved tuning into The Wedding, you would have noticed that this was a royal occasion like none before it. Newcomer Meghan was clearly calling the shots and used her platform to deliver a powerful message of inclusion. It was an act of leadership which literally demonstrated the power of love.
Do you hear a yes?
In 2007 I received my first invitation to enter into a space of sacred business. It was a surreal time. I’d had two miscarriages and my feelings were close to the surface. I recall walking from the train to my car after work and bumping into a woman I had met years prior. She asked […]
Have you found your community?
Do you belong to a community? I am one of a growing number of Australian’s who don’t identify with a religion. With evidence mounting that community is critical to our wellbeing, I’m increasingly curious about where else I might find fellowship. Inspired by this beautiful article from the On Being blog, I’m reminded that “community is heavenly, but it […]
What is your intention for 2018?
Welcome to 2018! I’m hoping that this year will mark a turning point. A turn towards equality, fairness and compassion in the world. But as a good friend of mine often observes “hope is not a strategy”. So I find myself wondering “what can I do?” and I’m inspired by the words of Thomas Merton:
