Vital Leadership Skills for Our Age of Uncertainty & Complexity
While many aspects of business have changed, and evolved such as technology and process streamlining, other aspects such as the people side of business are up for debate.
Some statistics suggest that as a business culture, the skills of deep communication attunement, innovation, critical thinking, engagement and business transformation have in fact reduced, plateaued or only slightly improved over the last 30 years! It's like we are just scratching the surface of what is possible, despite costly investment and research into the topic.
What is even more concerning is, the ever-increasing uncertainty and complexity that leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations face today, requires these innate prosocial and adaptability skills more than ever! Being able to attune, evaluate and flexibly adapt and create through modern day business problems and opportunities is paramount to our capacity to thrive in today's business world.
Yet, how can we unlock these vital, yet lost skills?

We are here to help you and your team embody the skills of creative emergence, to bring about real, embodied change. We are here to teach you HOW to fish in this modern world of uncertainty.
In this impromptu video, business leaders discuss the complexities and uncertainties of organizational life, along with share strategies for navigating these complexities.
In this next impromptu video, business leaders explore the many ways we mentally interrupt the kind of connection, creativity and deeper thinking that is needed to enrich organizational life. Strategies and mental accommodations, such as staying too busy, being the hero, having a performance complex, etc. are explored.
In this video, we discuss how the culture of business influences and shapes our behaviors within the workplace for the better and worse.
In this impromptu video, we discuss instincts in business, drawing on the following quote by Peter Levine:
"For hunters and gatherers, survival meant being fully in our bodies... Excessive mental rumination would have surely meant sudden death or slow starvation. However, over the millennia, the innate intelligence of the body and its instincts has been abandoned for the exclusivity of rationality, symbolization and language. Our bodies came to exist soley "to transport our heads from place to place...Otherwise we would have no need for them." Peter Levine (In An Unspoken Voice)
We are being shaped by the world around us, and the world around us is being shaped by us.
Without the skill of deep attunement of the ways we are being shaped by the world around us, we are at major risk. We are at risk of not detecting accurately the threats and opportunities that require our creative capacities. Emergence occurs when we are deeply attuned.
Carl Jung was suggested to have said that, "creativity is an instinct,"…If you don’t find a way to be creative in life, that instinct goes repressed and frustrated. You feel its loss as a deflation, the spirit leaking out of your sense of self. You feel empty, disengaged and unfulfilled.
Albert Einstein has been suggested to have said that, his creative insights would first come in as a bodily instinctual sensations, before he would receive his visions.
Imagination is an emergent property, that arises from within. It is the language of the soul, according to Thomas Moore. And creativity is born of soul, as the soul supports us in imagining the impossible as possible.
Without connection to soul and imagination, there is no creative emergence.
Selective inhibition (SI) is a term coined by Saj Ravzi. SI is about inhibiting the rationalizations, prior learnings, and other various, automatic strategies that thwart and get in the way of our generative capacities. It is about freeing the brain from the strategies that kept it locked up.
The human organism is home for an immense amount of generative, creative potential. Our job is to learn to step back and let it come forward.
Unresolved individual, family and cultural trauma and stress can trigger what Stephen Porges calls "faulty neuroception". Faulty neuroception is the misreading and misattunement of the signals and cues coming in from the outside in ways that prevent prosocial and generative capacities from emerging. Trauma can be a major stumbling block to unlocking our engagement and innovative potential.
