introduction to systems leadership

gain a new perspective on how to participate and contribute to systems leadership for the systems that you care about

in this workshop we will introduce the the foundations of systems leadership through our systems leadership framework and practice approach. in this way offering you a new perspective on how to understand systemic change, and your role and contribution to the process. 

as practitioners for change, one of the single greatest things we can do is to better understand and enact our unique contributions to the systems that we care about. for many of us, what our role and contribution are, can and should be,  is not always clear to us.  particularly when we move between jobs, projects, geographies, or simply because we are embedded in fast moving, adapting and even chaotic situations.  this can be disorienting and disheartening when we care about making things a little bit better around us. 

our approach to systems leadership is holistic, deeply personal, and incredibly connected and interwoven with all the parts that make up a system.  in this way we will explore systems leadership from multiple levels and ways of engaging, as well as across time, and take time to explore and unpack systems leadership capabilities such as self orienting and sensing contexts and systemic needs.

what folks have said about the systems leadership program

"dana and seanna work seamlessly together to provide a grounded, safe and authentic learning environment and over time a community of people who looked forward to learning about themselves at a deeper level - anchoring themselves in a mindful presence, opening up to learning, sharing ideas, concepts, framework about systems thinking and the personal and professional struggles and successes in maximising impact for the betterment of society across various complex systems."

"dana's teaching is extraordinary. i am well practised in meditation, and yet have new ways of approaching it with some of the instruction - making a cup of tea as meta is something that will stay with me, as will the connecting to all beings. bringing her deep experience in systems has also been wonderful."

"seanna has been a facilitation queen, i’ve learned so much from her transparent practice. the way seanna holds space for different perspectives and the feelings in the room are amazing. seanna's backpack of tools and examples and deep thinking about systems helped me feel equipped to try things myself."
