Bringing the IDG Summit Home
The Inner Development Goals (IDG) initiative arose from an awareness that a blind spot existed in the work to create a more sustainable, global society. This blind spot consisted of a lack of appreciation of the qualities, skills and abilities to bring about the...
Do You Have a Best Friend at Work?

The 1 Big Mistake Conference Organisers Make
I have been to conferences with a mix of very good and very boring talks, but if you asked me a few months later, I could not remember for the life of me what the conference or any of the talks were about. I have also been to quite different conferences, notably the...
The 3 Ingredients of a Great Conference
So many conferences fall short of their potential. And yet it is so simple to get a conference room buzzing with engaged participants, inspired by talks that matter, and memorable for the connections made. Let's start with Connections. Because connection always...
Curiosity Sparks Commitment
Around this time last year, we supported an Irish university’s graduate school induction programme. The participants are going to be working extensively in teams over the course of the year. We didn’t start with the traditional questions of “What are you going to...
Without intimacy you cannot lead a wet paper bag
That is what a wise man, my coach, said to me when we talked about grounded visionaries and what they need to succeed in creating the change they want. And indeed, a grounded visionary cannot be a compelling leader without the ability to create intimate...
Is Linkedin Starting to Reflect Reality?
Have you noticed that Linkedin has become more personal? Not in the Facebook way of endless pictures of cats and what you and your old high school friend had for dinner (for the record, cats are lovely and so is dinner). It’s becoming personal in a “I’m more than just...
2020 silver lining
In 2020, we were all tested for our resilience and ability to adapt. And there was one insight that people kept sharing with us: The pain of losing physical connection and the joy when experiencing surprisingly deep and meaningful connection online. Ultimately, what’s been driving us in all of our online work this year was the commitment to help our clients to deeply connect, build trust, and lean into each other for support and co-creativity whilst remote. It’s been a joy. Seasons Greetings to you all!

And we have beautiful news for you: It just needs a little training and good planning to create an online event which has every participant fully present and contributing to a shared goal whilst enjoying the many networking opportunities throughout the meeting.
Gossip Girl Reboot
Our cognitive biases change the way we remember past events. The peak end rule says that we tend to judge experiences based on how we felt at its peak and and at its end. How you finish matters: with a bang or with a whimper. Positive Gossip allows you to finish on a high and to reinforce the connection and relationships that were forged during an event. This week, we explain how…
Drowning versus Floating
With the notable exceptions of companies like ZOOM, food deliveries and medical equipment producers, economic survival is the top priority for many companies. We therefore want to share relevant learnings from drowning survivors with leaders and teams who are fighting...
Spaceship Earth and Planet Self
In 1968, Apollo 8 circled the moon, just a year before Apollo 11 landed the first man on the moon.
On the way back to Earth, Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell turned the camera around, and shared his perspective on Planet Earth.
The impact on the TV audience back home was profound. A sense of awe is palpable in the faces of the watchers at NASA. More than 50 years later, the planet’s beauty evokes love, gratitude, and a sense of deep belonging in me as I am watching the footage on my laptop. You might wonder:
What’s that got to do with leadership?
Like the astronauts, we …
Ditch Connection To Get Things Done
Lately, I have found myself under more and more time pressure. During my early morning meditations I am observing my mind racing from task to task. It’s almost comical to watch! Less funny is the tension I sense in my back when my mental chatter goes into task master. It signals the fear of dropping a ball in all the juggling.
Most of us know this building sense of time pressure. And we have different mechanisms to cope. My go-to …
