Loving My Lonely
What’s Alive in you right now?
Before you read any further, I wonder if you could take a couple breaths to name what is alive in you… Here is the catch. Most of us are not trained to answer this question honestly…authentically. It has been an interesting journey for me to connect with whatever is alive in me that day without mixing it with evaluation. We are trained to judge. To have an opinion. To name in polarities. But judgements and opinions are parts of the mind. When we are trying to understand ourselves mentally, we are not truly present. We are sitting in the analysis of our experience, but we are not with our experience.
How to collaborate with love as a guiding principle?
“What’s the one thing that you want to improve the most when it comes to your team culture?” – I often ask senior leaders as we start to scope out what support might be needed for them.
“Collaboration” - almost instantly they respond.
I love this response - it opens up the possibility to dive in and learn more about the conditions under which a team collaborates. When I start to uncover what’s underneath the need for better collaboration, we often land on these questions:
How can we improve the relationships within our team? How can we create psychological safety so that we can talk about what’s most important? How can we promote cross-team communication? How can we become more aware of each other – our needs and expectations? How can we make work to flow in a stable and predictable way?
Powerful questions, don’t you think?
