Podcasts about Theory U

Generative Scribing, sebagaimana dikembangkan oleh Kelvy Bird, merupakan sebuah bentuk seni sosial revolusioner yang melampaui sekadar dokumentasi visual konvensional di atas kertas. Berakar kuat pada kerangka kerja Theory U yang dipelopori oleh Otto Scharmer, praktik ini berfungsi sebagai instrumen bagi sebuah sistem untuk melihat, merasakan, dan menyadari dirinya sendiri secara mendalam. Alih-alih hanya mencatat poin-poin pembicaraan secara harfiah, seorang scribe generatif berupaya memvisualisasikan dinamika yang tidak terlihat serta memfasilitasi pergeseran kesadaran kolektif dari pola lama yang berulang menuju kemungkinan masa depan yang sedang muncul. Efektivitas dari praktik ini sangat bergantung pada kondisi internal sang praktisi yang harus melalui perjalanan "U" melalui keterbukaan pikiran, hati, dan kehendak (Open Mind, Open Heart, Open Will). Scribe bertindak sebagai sebuah wadah atau "container" yang menangkap tidak hanya data faktual, tetapi juga getaran emosional dan intuisi yang hadir di dalam ruangan. Dengan mengosongkan bias pribadi dan menjadi instrumen yang jernih bagi suara kolektif, sang scribe mampu menggambarkan esensi dari apa yang sedang "hadir" (presencing), memberikan bentuk pada ide-ide yang masih abstrak sehingga kelompok dapat berinteraksi dengan realitas tersebut secara lebih nyata. Pada tingkat yang lebih luas, Generative Scribing bertujuan untuk mendukung transformasi sistemik dengan mengubah perspektif partisipan dari ego-sistem yang individualistis menuju kesadaran eko-sistem yang holistik. Melalui komposisi visual, metafora, dan penggunaan ruang kosong yang strategis, gambar yang dihasilkan menjadi cermin yang memungkinkan para pemangku kepentingan menyadari keterhubungan mereka dalam satu sistem besar. Dengan demikian, Generative Scribing bukan sekadar elemen dekoratif dalam sebuah pertemuan, melainkan katalisator krusial yang membantu organisasi atau komunitas untuk melahirkan solusi kreatif dan berkelanjutan dalam menghadapi tantangan masa depan yang kompleks.

Mark Christian Thompson's book, Phenomenal Blackness: Black Power, Philosophy, and Theory (University of Chicago Press, 2022) examines the changing interdisciplinary investments of key mid-century African American writers and thinkers, showing how their investments in sociology and anthropology gave way to a growing interest in German philosophy and critical theory by the 1960s. Thompson analyzes this shift in intellectual focus across the post-war decades, pinpointing its clearest expression in Amiri Baraka's writings on jazz and blues, in which he insisted on philosophy as the critical means by which to grasp African American expressive culture. More sociologically oriented thinkers, such as W. E. B. Du Bois, had understood blackness as a singular set of socio-historical characteristics. In contrast, writers such as Baraka, James Baldwin, Angela Y. Davis, Eldridge Cleaver, and Malcolm X were variously drawn to notions of an African essence, an ontology of Black being. For them, the work of Adorno, Habermas, Marcuse, and German thinkers was a vital resource, allowing for continued cultural-materialist analysis while accommodating the hermeneutical aspects of African American religious thought. Mark Christian Thompson argues that these efforts to reimagine Black singularity led to a phenomenological understanding of blackness--a "Black aesthetic dimension" wherein aspirational models for Black liberation might emerge.

Shruti Sonthalia says purpose is her superpower. A strong sense of purpose helped Shruti to demolish seemingly insurmountable barriers to becoming a Master Certified Coach and a globally renowned industry figure, and in this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, she implores all coaches to find their ‘why'.Shruti began her journey without coaches around her to learn from, living and working in a culture that assumed expertise was the preserve of men with white hair. Believing it was her purpose to create sacred spaces in the workplace, Shruti grafted with steadfast resolve to defy the gatekeepers and doubters who stood in her way.By taking the path less travelled and proving herself time and again, Shruti developed a work ethic that took her to the top of her profession, empowering leaders across global markets to embody a coaching mindset.She pays forward her expertise in the training curricula she devises and delivers to the next generation of coaches, founding her structured, evidence-based approach on the values and principles she speaks about in this episode.In this conversation, Shruti invites us all to ask: which parts of our journeys do we struggle to own? And how might addressing them enable changes within us that ripple out to the ecosystems we operate within?Shruti and host Neil Mackinnon also talk about:- Whether coaching has the same effectiveness in different areas, geographies, and realities- Accessibility of supervision as a vital aspect of coaching's growth and integrity- The learning we can take from our own procrastination- How a coaching mindset can help us embody shared power- The principle that says that which you focus on expands, and how to harness itTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- AoEC - Academy of Executive Coaching https://www.aoec.com/ - ICF - International Coaching Federation https://coachingfederation.org/ - ICF Foundation https://foundationoficf.org/ - Shruti's paper on effectiveness of coaching in emerging markets https://radar.brookes.ac.uk/radar/file/08d2850c-51fe-42ab-aeea-e7ec829bc5a9/1/IJEBCM%2022_1_10.pdf - London School of Economics https://www.lse.ac.uk/ - Yannick Jacob on The Coach's Journey Podcast https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/97-yannick-jacob-going-beyond-blueprints-to-challenge-the-status-quo-of-coaching - Richard Layard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Layard,_Baron_Layard - Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4069.Man_s_Search_for_Meaning - Martin Seligman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Seligman - David Foster Wallace, This Is Water https://fs.blog/david-foster-wallace-this-is-water/ - Theory U by Otto Sharma https://www.amazon.co.uk/Theory-Learning-Emerges-Futures-Business/dp/1576757633 - Robbie Swale's writing on resistance https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2025/3/28/the-more-resistance-we-feel-towards-a-call-or-action-the-more-important-that-call-or-action-is-to-our-souls-evolution - The War of Art by Steven Pressfield https://www.amazon.co.uk/War-Art-Through-Creative-Battles/dp/1936891026 - IFS, parts work, what's in the way is the way https://matthewharwood.uk/ifs/ - RUHCO https://ruhco.org/

Too many leaders miss the opportunity to have impact when it truly matters: the transformation that takes place when someone feels genuinely heard. This is especially important during turbulent times. It's not just about reacting to a crisis, it's about pausing for a moment to listen deeply. Without it, leaders risk isolation, poor decisions, and missed opportunities.   Martin Farrell, crisis coach and bestselling author of “Good Leaders in Turbulent Times: How to Navigate Wild Waters at Work,” reveals how listening becomes a lifejacket for leaders navigating chaos. Drawing on decades of global experience with organizations like the British Red Cross and UN Climate Change Secretariat, Martin shares the pivotal moments and practical strategies that help leaders spot early warning signs, create safe spaces for tough conversations, and transform crisis into connection and growth.   In this episode, discover the story behind the ‘penny drop' moment, when someone knows they're truly understood. Martin gives insight on subtle warning signs before a crisis occurs and also shares excerpts from 138  pieces of his advice in his book. Learn how mastering listening in turbulent times can turn wild waters into opportunities for lasting impact.   "Do we want to react and retaliate, or do you reflect and respond?" – Martin Farrell   SUPERPOWER Notes: 02:45 – What he realized the time he first noticed the power of listening: Working with coach Nancy Klein for 14 years, where she would listen for an hour and a half with complete presence, even during his silent moments and times of distress 06:30 – The transformative experience of being truly heard: How Nancy Klein's listening created a space where he felt special and important in that moment, demonstrating the profound impact of dedicated attention 08:15 – Supporting leaders in crisis: His work with UK charity chief executives who were at risk of losing their jobs, providing support "until the end of the chapter" through primarily listening rather than advice-giving 11:20 – The power of being present in wild waters: Using the metaphor of someone in wild waters with crocodiles around, and how having someone experienced nearby who won't drown provides crucial support 14:30 – From crisis support to storytelling: How his current work involves interviewing people who've processed their experiences to create anonymous advice for others still in crisis 17:45 – The journey of writing "Good Leaders in Turbulent Times": How the book took eight years to complete with six different manuscripts, and the importance of authentic vulnerability in helping others 22:10 – Career background in civil society: Six decades of working in charitable organizations, from teenage years through international work with UN agencies and climate change initiatives 26:40 – The book's unique structure: Five chapters featuring nine characters over seven years, showing the progression from missing warning signs to integration and wisdom 29:15 – Chapter one - missing the signs: How all the warning signs were present but the characters weren't listening to or acting upon them, using the powerful question "What do you know now that you will discover in a year's time?" 32:50 – Listening to weak signals: The importance of becoming adept at noticing and paying attention to early warning signs before they become crises 35:20 – The 138 pieces of advice: Four categories throughout the book - watch out (red flags), remember this (truths to hold onto), consider this (suggestions for action), and secret sauce (personal stories) 38:45 – Theory U and letting go/letting come: How silence and stillness are essential for touching the source of inner knowledge and emerging possibilities 42:30 – Practical advice for listening to inner signals: Go sit by a river or in a quiet place, use scrap paper for uncensored writing, and allow the process to unfold over 8-9 pages until clarity emerges 46:15 – The "no mud, no lotus" principle: How working with distress and discomfort can produce beautiful outcomes when you know how to process them effectively 48:20 – Developing your support network: The importance of having trusted people around you before crisis hits, and Martin's participation in seven different support groups 51:30 – Live Well, Die Wise grief circles: Creating ceremonial safe spaces with candles, poems, and intentional grounding to allow deep sharing and discovery 53:45 – How to connect with Martin Farrell Key Takeaways:    "My ultimate freedom is to respond to whatever you do to me." – Martin Farrell "Here is someone who had no agenda other than being with them and listening. And that was powerful." – Martin Farrell "Even if you're not naturally interested in other people, you can fake it till you make it. Start being interested, and then you get more interested." – Martin Farrell "Particularly with those who are in distress, that is an enormous gift... I noticed the power of being there. I was going to say just being there, but it's not just, it's being there and being present." – Martin Farrell Notes/Mentions: Nancy Klein (Martin's coach for 14 years)- https://www.timetothink.com/  Theory U and Otto Scharmer's Presencing Institute https://www.presencing.org/theoryu  "Good Leaders in Turbulent Times: How to Navigate Wild Waters at Work" by Martin Farrell: https://mybook.to/GoodLeaders and https://practicalinspiration.com/book/good-leaders-in-turbulent-times Live Well, Die Wise grief circles Deep Adaptation Forum Steven Appleby (illustrator of 41 drawings in the book) Connect with Martin Farrell: Website: https://www.martinfarrell.org/  Substack: https://martin228.substack.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martingfarrell  Connect with Raquel Ark: www.listeningalchemy.com  Mobile: + 491732340722  contact@listeningalchemy.com LinkedIn Substack listening ALCHEMY newsletter Podcast email: listeningsuperpower@gmail.com

"Reboot Business" podcast host Julian Devaureix interviews Otto Scharmer, a senior lecturer at MIT and creator of Theory U, about navigating the current radical transformation of the business world due to social, energy, and environmental demands. Scharmer discusses systems thinking as a way to understand interconnected global crises like ecological damage, socioeconomic inequality, and mental health issues, emphasizing that these are symptoms of deeper disconnects. He introduces Theory U as a framework and set of tools for achieving organizational and societal change by shifting consciousness and enabling systems to see and sense themselves more fully. The conversation highlights the power of attention as crucial for individuals and leaders to intentionally shape the future and move from reactive patterns to co-creative action, advocating for personal awareness practices, deep listening in small groups, and aligning work with purpose to foster widespread change starting at the individual level.Hosted by Ausha.

As you will know if you've listened to previous episodes, this podcast is really about the central question of the kind of education (formal and informal) that we need to support and enable us all, but most importantly our young people, to transition effectively through this historical period of massive flux and change. There are many people around the world putting language to these shifts and offering guidance to leaders, and organisations for how to navigate them. But few are doing this as prominently and at such a scale as my guest this week. Otto Scharmer's substantial work with MIT, Theory U and the Presencing Institute for the last few decades has been helping leaders embrace cross-sector systems transformation. To quote his 2007 book on Theory U, his work opens up pathways for "dealing with the resistance of thought, emotion, and will; and intentionally reintegrating the intelligence of the head, the heart, and the hand" in the context of leadership, decision-making, and almost any kind of collaborative work.Otto Scharmer, a Senior Lecturer at MIT and Founding Chair of the Presencing Institute, has dedicated the past 20 years to helping leaders embrace cross-sector systems transformation. Through his bestselling books Theory U and Presence (the latter co-authored with Peter Senge and others), Otto introduced the groundbreaking concept of "presencing" — learning from the emerging future. He also co-authored Leading from the Emerging Future, which outlines eight acupuncture points for transforming our economy from egocentric to ecocentric. His most recent book The Essentials of Theory U (2018) summarizes the core principles and applications of awareness-based systems change. He co-founded the MITx u-lab, which has activated a vibrant worldwide ecosystem of transformational change involving more than 250,000 users from 186 countries. In collaboration with colleagues, he co-created global Action Learning Labs for UN agencies and SDG Leadership Labs for UN Country Teams in 26 countries, which support cross-sector initiatives for addressing urgent humanitarian crises. Born and raised near Hamburg, Germany, Otto's early experiences on his family farm profoundly shaped his vision. From his father, a pioneer of regenerative farming, Otto learned the significance of the living quality of the soil in organic agriculture, which inspired his thinking about social fields as the grounding condition from which visible transformations emerge. Like a good farmer who cares for the soil, Otto believes responsible leaders must nurture the social field in which they operate. He emphasizes that shifting our economic operating systems from extractive to regenerative requires innovations in leadership support structures for shifting mindsets from ego to eco. Building that infrastructure is the purpose of the u-school for Transformation. Otto earned his diploma and his PhD in economics from Witten/Herdecke University in Germany. He is a member of the UN Learning Advisory Council for the 2030 Agenda, the Club of Rome and the World Future Council. He has won the Jamieson Prize for Teaching Excellence at MIT and the European Leonardo Corporate Learning Award. In 2021, he received the Elevating Humanity Award from the Organizational Development Network.

Send us a textn this episode, we navigate the seemingly random (yet deeply connected) threads of creativity, coaching, and the questions that unlock meaningful conversations. We begin with an observation, cats are very smart, and let curiosity guide us through the complex landscape of creation, thought partnership, and the power of listening.You'll learn:Why creation is rarely fun in the beginning, and how bad ideas are often the first step toward great ones.How mind mapping can sharpen your focus, helping you ask, “What areas do I need to focus more on?”Why ChatGPT is like a smart intern, brilliant, tireless, and totally lacking common sense, and how to use it as a thought partner in your writer's room or creative process.The difference between coaching and consulting, the righting reflex, and how hierarchy undermines sustainable leadership.How to transform a rigid Q&A into a dynamic conversation using Otto Scharmer's Theory U 4 levels of listening.Why “never worrying about asking the right question again” starts with following your intuition, curiosity, and what's real in the moment.We also unpack the subtle art of engagement, evidence, and empowerment, exploring how questions open doors, but what matters most is how you walk through them. Along the way, we examine the link between intrinsic motivation and discipline, the nature of status in leadership, and, because life is gloriously random, the phenomenon of Ally McBeal.If you've ever wondered how to ask better questions, listen more deeply, or trust your creative instincts, this episode will leave you curious, empowered, and ready to dive in.Takeaway Quote: “A conversation isn't an interview. It's the art of showing up, listening, and creating something together in real time.”Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

Looking at the state of our world, says Dr. Otto Scharmer, it's plain to see that there's something wrong with our collective decision-making. How, then, do we move from just reacting against the issues of the past, toward sensing and actualizing the future that is wanting to emerge? That is the profound question at the heart of this podcast featuring the renowned MIT lecturer, author of Theory U, and contributing faculty member to Sounds True's Inner MBA® program.  In a bold conversation that speaks directly to both our individual empowerment and the larger societal changes that are becoming increasingly urgent, Tami Simon and Otto Scharmer discuss: the collective sense of depression and disillusion at this time; reframing a fearful cultural narrative to one of hope and possibility; bridging today's ecological, social, and spiritual divides; ego-system awareness vs. ecosystem awareness; big changes through small steps; the subtle shift of “opening the will”; letting go of what's not essential; moving from certainties to not knowing; Social Presencing; courage; why transformational work and activating our potential is easier than we think; creating a “holding space” and allowing generative forces to come forth; attention, intention, and agency; the invisible yet vital part of our social field—the quality of our relationships; deep listening; the awakening of the human spirit; and more. Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests.

Vandaag in gesprek met Else Boutkan. Else werkt aan duurzame transities, systeemveranderingen door te werken in en te bouwen aan samenwerkingsverbanden en innovatie ecosystemen. Zij startte haar bedrijf SomethingElse ruim twintig jaar geleden in een tijd dat duurzaamheid nog in de kinderschoenen stond en woorden als betekeniseconomie en circulaire economie nog niet bestonden. Zij nam zich voor alleen nog betekenisvol werk te doen en ontwikkelde zicht tot expert op organisatievraagstukken rondom duurzaamheid. Hier luister je het vorige gesprek van 16 jan 2020: Transitie naar de duurzame wereld met de ondernemer – Else Boutkan Laten we beginnen… Wat ik zoal leerde van Else: Ideen kloppen aan. Het besluit nemen, dat boek gaat er komen. Leren om een non-fictie boek te schrijven. Het proces van schrijven en publiceren voor het boek Groen en gevangen. De zorgvuldigheid bij het maken dit boek. Hiervoor heeft ze gewerkt met mensen die ook heel zorgvuldig zijn. Als je met een netwerk werkt, dan kun je het niet managen. Voorwaarden scheppen waardoor dingen samen kunnen komen, vooral in het duurzame terrein. Iedereen als mens ziet, en dat is meer dan een functietitel. Een ecosysteem waar mensen gezamenlijk dingen willen bereiken. Ontdekken in welke context mensen opereren. Werkte bij Vision Web - talenten boven structuur, the visual enterprise. Wat je ook doet, het heeft altijd effect. Ik creëer interessant werk wat ik heel belangrijk vindt. Dat is een spannende route en dat brengt me steeds op vernieuwde plekken. De kennishongermensen in de organisaties. In de kantine kun je dat het andere gesprek voeren omdat daar de namen en rugnummers er niet toe doen, en omdat ze daar al hun kennis mee kunnen nemen. Als je het belangrijk vindt, dan ben je een soort kennisspons. Dat in je bedrijf de mensen je instrument zijn (Rijnlands). Een stroming van bewustwording in deze tijd, zoals de Theory U. Geen transitie zonder persoonlijke transformatie. Met mijn volledige zelf naar het werk gaan, en daar effect mee bereiken. Daar moet je mee in contact blijven. Je kan geen organisaties en mensen veranderen, maar je kan wel de omstandigheden creëren om de verandering te verkennen.

Today we are learning from Marjadi Kooistra. "How can I put my life in 3 sentences? Maybe this will work best… until now my life has been a journey of self-discovery. Who am I? What do I want? What is my purpose? And what am I grateful for? A journey from living from the heart as a child to living from the mind, during most of my adulthood and business career. And now, I am listening to my heart and soul and giving it words. A transitioning process that has been taking place most of my life (without me knowing consciously..) and now turned into trusting myself, and trusting my journey…seeing the light and the darkness inside of myself and trying to balance those every day'" Let's get started... In this conversation with Marjadi, I learned: A life-changing moment by introducing yourself from the heart. Suppressed the Indonesian culture from her life. The difference between speaking from the mind and from the heart. Why she choose medicine and switch to economics. A grey period working in finance trying to compensate for it with the money she made, and got burnout. Generational trauma. In burnout for 3.5 years. Breathing exercises together with a coach, and walking the dog made a difference in the burnout. Three full present breaths in one go. Making a connection with her body. You can do anything if it is your passion. Trust the journey. The difference between green carbon and blue carbon. The inner development goals are part of the stakeholder management. Stakeholder management starts with being (IDGs). Start with opening the heart. No obstacles anymore to speaking from the heart.

How can we think about the future today - and learn from it? How is the war influencing our thinking and action? Why are societies polarized, and can we overcome this polarization? Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher and chief editor of UkraineWorld.org, speaks to Otto Scharmer, a German-born American intellectual who introduced influential concepts like Theory U and presencing in an attempt to learn from the emerging future and act in a more creative way. Otto Scharmer is a Senior Lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Founding Chair of the Presencing Institute. Through his bestselling books Theory U and Presence (the latter co-authored with Peter Senge and others), Otto introduced the concept of “presencing” — learning from the emerging future. Thinking in Dark Times is a podcast series by UkraineWorld. This series seeks to make Ukraine and the current war a focal point of our common reflection about the world's present, past, and future. We try to see the light through and despite the current darkness. UkraineWorld is brought to you by Internews Ukraine, one of the largest Ukrainian media NGOs.

Today's podcast was recorded live in Paris, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. As part of the wonderful ChangeNOW festival in the Grand Palais Ephémère I had the pleasure of sitting down with Otto Sharmer in the ChangeNOW podcast booth for an in depth conversation and journey into the future. Otto is the creator of the Theory U model of change, and spends much of his time teaching the model to groups around the world. The previous day he and I had both been speakers at the festival (you can see him here and me here). We also had a question from the audience from among those sitting outside the booth. My thanks to the organisers and to Otto for making this possible. I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, we're continuing our pattern of inquiry with active members of the HSD community. Our special guest is Judy Tal. Judy is a professional consultant, teacher, supervisor, and lecturer in the field of Human Systems Dynamics (HSD), Co-founder and director of the HSD Learning Center in Tel- Aviv (HSD-IL). My interest in human systems and human relations emerged at the late 90s after 24 years in the academy learning and later teaching and researching in the field of pure mathematics; Graphs' Theory and Combinatorial Algorithms. My current calling emerged from various professional certifications and practices, among which are the Tavistock analytical approach to OD, Theory of Constrains (ToC), Mediation with practicum, The Learning Organization and Theory U, and many more. In the summer of 2004 I was introduced to the HSD complex paradigm which finally made sense of what I've observed in my work with Organizations and teams. The HSD paradigm offers explanations rather than descriptions and thus it supports decision making and provides options for action. I joined the HSD community by becoming a certified associate (HSDA) of the HSD Institute, and a few years later an HSDP under the supervision and teaching of Dr. Glenda Eoyang and Royce Holladay. In 2010, together with Dr. Glenda Eoyang we established a HSD Learning Center in Tel-Aviv, providing certification programs, workshops and consulting services to the local market. During that time, I was frequently involved in the development and delivery of various learning activities with the HSD Institute around the world and in the virtual arena. In 2011, inspired by Dr. Glenda Eoyang's theory and based on my own professional experience, I put together a set of axioms and defined by them the foundations for the field of Human Systems Dynamics. Since then, together with various partners, I'm involved in collaborative projects under the name "HSD-inside" where the complex paradigm is woven into traditional disciplines (more concretely: HSD inside Planning and Strategy, HSD inside Performance Appraisal, HSD inside Coaching etc.). The HIVE©, developed with Sabine Amend, HSDA herself, is a new group-ware, a capacity builder of creative and generative engagement in human interactions, particularly for management skills like leadership, authority, and innovation. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hsdpatterns-possibilities/message

For decades, scholars have been calling into question the universality of disciplinary objects and categories. The coherence of defined autonomous categories—such as religion, science, and art—has collapsed under the weight of postmodern critiques, calling into question the possibility of progress and even the value of knowledge. Jason Ānanda Josephson Storm aims to radicalize and move beyond these deconstructive projects to offer a path forward for the humanities and social sciences using a new model for theory he calls metamodernism. Metamodernism: The Future of Theory (U Chicago Press, 2021) works through the postmodern critiques and uncovers the mechanisms that produce and maintain concepts and social categories. In so doing, Storm provides a new, radical account of society's ever-changing nature—what he calls a “Process Social Ontology”—and its materialization in temporary zones of stability or “social kinds.” Storm then formulates a fresh approach to philosophy of language by looking beyond the typical theorizing that focuses solely on human language production, showing us instead how our own sign-making is actually on a continuum with animal and plant communication. Storm also considers fundamental issues of the relationship between knowledge and value, promoting a turn toward humble, emancipatory knowledge that recognizes the existence of multiple modes of the real. Metamodernism is a revolutionary manifesto for research in the human sciences that offers a new way through postmodern skepticism to envision a more inclusive future of theory in which new forms of both progress and knowledge can be realized.

In so doing, Storm provides a new, radical account of society's ever-changing nature—what he calls a “Process Social Ontology”—and its materialization in temporary zones of stability or “social kinds.” Storm then formulates a fresh approach to philosophy of language by looking beyond the typical theorizing that focuses solely on human language production, showing us instead how our own sign-making is actually on a continuum with animal and plant communication. Storm also considers fundamental issues of the relationship between knowledge and value, promoting a turn toward humble, emancipatory knowledge that recognizes the existence of multiple modes of the real. Metamodernism is a revolutionary manifesto for research in the human sciences that offers a new way through postmodern skepticism to envision a more inclusive future of theory in which new forms of both progress and knowledge can be realized.

Gabor Maté says that we choose belonging 100% of the time, over authenticity. Our self-critic keeps us ‘in check' and ‘likeable'. The part of us that feels criticised, ‘different', or struggles to connect, is the part that turns to something outside ourselves, in order to cope. So, here, I talk about the road to becoming more authentic and empowered, as a route to recovery of confidence, as well as from compulsion or codependency.If you want  help  with getting your confidence back, and to recover from comfort eating, join my next group: Next Comfort Eating Recovery 6-week programme - Only a couple of spaces left!Join my mailing list hereGet Control Back!

Mark Christian Thompson's book, Phenomenal Blackness: Black Power, Philosophy, and Theory (University of Chicago Press, 2022) examines the changing interdisciplinary investments of key mid-century African American writers and thinkers, showing how their investments in sociology and anthropology gave way to a growing interest in German philosophy and critical theory by the 1960s. Thompson analyzes this shift in intellectual focus across the post-war decades, pinpointing its clearest expression in Amiri Baraka's writings on jazz and blues, in which he insisted on philosophy as the critical means by which to grasp African American expressive culture. More sociologically oriented thinkers, such as W. E. B. Du Bois, had understood blackness as a singular set of socio-historical characteristics. In contrast, writers such as Baraka, James Baldwin, Angela Y. Davis, Eldridge Cleaver, and Malcolm X were variously drawn to notions of an African essence, an ontology of Black being. For them, the work of Adorno, Habermas, Marcuse, and German thinkers was a vital resource, allowing for continued cultural-materialist analysis while accommodating the hermeneutical aspects of African American religious thought. Mark Christian Thompson argues that these efforts to reimagine Black singularity led to a phenomenological understanding of blackness--a "Black aesthetic dimension" wherein aspirational models for Black liberation might emerge. Brittney Edmonds is an Assistant Professor of Afro-American Studies at UW-Madison.

The vision of The Leadership Project is to inspire all leaders to challenge the status quo.  We therefore pride ourselves on driving diversity of thought.In today's episode we do exactly that.  We bring in someone from an atypical source for a discussion on leadership.  Don Campbell is a sculptor and author of the book "Creativity: It's not what you think".  Whilst discussing leadership with a sculptor may seem unusual, there are many nuggets of gold in this interview about how to unlock your own creativity and the creativity within your team.Don shares his life story from graphic designer to sculptor and important lessons he has learnt along the way.We discuss the power of language and mindset; deep listening; emotional intelligence and voices that can prevent us from unlocking our full potential.This includes Don sharing with us the one word that changed his life forever.Don discovered the concept of Theory U and different levels of Deep Listening and uses this in his own work as well as inspiring creativity in others.Theory U was born out of Otto Scharmer of MIT and explores the process of creativity.Levels of Deep Listening start from just hearing what we already know (or perhaps hearing what we want to hear).  To unlock further levels of deep listening we must have an OPEN MIND ready to listen to new concepts; an OPEN HEART to listen and empathise with feelings; and an OPEN WILL to be willing to discover a new future of what is possible.Please do check out this episode as Don shares his wealth of knowledge so that you can apply this yourself and incorporate it into your leadership style.You can find a copy of Don's book at the following link:https://amzn.to/3y5FxhJ //-------------------------------------------------------//More information on The Leadership Project can be found at the following links:Follow The Leadership Project on all of our social channels as follows:To follow us on The Leadership Project you can find us on:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-leadership-proj     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLeadershipProj     Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theleadershipproj     Twitter - https://twitter.com/leadershipproj1      Website - www.mickspiers.com  YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG9X7weoI4Xs3SreZab1rQ
