Leading from our Hearts, and the Emerging Future: Deepening into Personal Purpose (Online)

Introduction

“Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to with you….” Parker J Palmer

A time of crisis like this one, as many have commented, presents a great opportunity for reflection on what is essential to us and where we place our precious life energy. For some this may mean a deepening reaffirmation, for others a reset of direction; either way, clarity and strength around how we move forward is needed more than ever in these challenging times.

The purpose of this transformational online community is to help you step forward and deepen more fully into your unique personal purpose, gifts and the work you are here to do. It will support you to identify the contribution that your deeper self is calling you to make and help you embody more of your true potential in your life, your work, your organisation and in the world.

(This online community is a foundational part of our family of Systemic Leadership programmes, giving people the next generation skillsets to build, lead and transform purpose-led, regenerative and sustainable businesses that are fit for the 21st century).

 

Who is it for?

We are inviting leaders, entrepreneurs, change agents, coaches and indeed anyone who wants greater support in stepping forward and deepening into their purpose in their work at this extraordinary time.

Faculty

Edward Rowland is a systemic leadership coach, Founder and lead facilitator of TWP – see his fuller bio

Deborah Haskew is a Chartered and Registered Organisational Psychologist and systemic leadership coach who has been working in the field of Leadership Development and change for over 25 years offering leadership coaching, mentoring, consultancy and supervision to senior leaders, Talent and OD professionals, and other coaches.  Clients come to her for a safe and expansive space to explore their inner and outer worlds at a deeper level to align around their true place and purpose in their organisation, role and life.

Charlie O’ Malley is a change catalyst and senior development adviser at the UN. He says: “I feel as though I have been following the thread of purpose for as long as I can remember. I attended this programme when it was first run in 2014 and can vouch for its power. During the programme, I arrived at a definition of my purpose as “catalysing the connection revolution”. I’ve attempted to live out this purpose over the years working on a range of social and environmental challenges, working with everything from solo entrepreneurs through to large global companies and now at the United Nations Development Programme. I believe even more strongly than ever that personal, organisational and societal change all go together. Purpose-led leadership is at the heart of it all”.
