Podcasts about thrivability

"we need to think of conversations as living systems...this mechanistic story is so all pervasive that we don't even recognise it... "A brilliant conversation with Michelle on creating sustainable conditions for people & living systems to thrive. Michelle offers a refreshing and transformative perspective of thrivability. This concept redefines how communities and businesses operate by viewing them as dynamic, interconnected living systems. We discuss moving beyond the mechanistic approaches and the leadership paradigms that support this, and us embracing a more holistic vision rooted in collaboration, diversity, and shared purpose.This of course asks for different leadership skills and the intention to create practice grounds where individuals and teams can hone these skills. We delve into the wealth of wisdom in indigenous cultures, and within our selves as we walk through the spiral of conversations as living systems. At each stage we can look at new habits, thinking and feeling. Never have organisations been more in need of cultivating and nourishing the human elements of systems and practition-ing sustainable change to a more inclusive and collaborative way of working. How can we all channel our personal agency to create cultures where we collaborate and care and not compete and compare ? How do we create regenerative and intentional practice to build Thrivability and competitive advantage ? A platform for world change.. Listen here to find out more as Michelle generously shares her research, experience and models form working with individuals and organisations all over the globe. The main insights you'll get from this episode are : - Brand strategy, international marketing and organisational development are all characterised by a lack of relationships with customers, a lack of purpose, and a fiercely competitive internal culture.- Research into sustainability involved looking into the notion that everything operates as a machine, separate from each other and nature, and exploring biology to see if the facts of being alive apply to communities and organisations.- Went on to develop frameworks that have now been in use for over 25 years based on living systems, survival of the fittest, an adaptive capacity for change, a holistic view of systems, and the wisdom of natural living systems.- The four patterns of thrivability – diversity, nourishment, learning, emergence – have significance for us as individuals and collectively; organisations are seen as separate from us and static, but we must see everything as part of a living, dynamic world.- Thrivability is an informed intention and practice to enable life to thrive - living and participating enable the setting of an intention whilst being informed enables life to thrive, drawing on indigenous wisdom, intuition, poetry, spirituality, biology, etc.- Organisations as living systems must invite diversity in relationship and flow, enabling the emergence of a new whole beyond the level of the parts – this shared purpose then acts like a magnet to bring parts together.- Mechanical systems have no capacity for innovation, healing, regeneration, reaction to change, or spark of life - we are the gardeners who cultivate life, without necessarily knowing what we are growing.- Collective intelligence is about the integration of diverse parts, moving from ‘compete and compare' to ‘collaborate and compare', which is a profound and revolutionary shift in terms of social context.- The starting point is being aware of the wholeness of the present...

In this episode, social ecosystem designer, culture hacker, and facilitator Jean M. Russell joins us to talk about how a participatory and cooperative approach instead of a brutal approach enables us to envision and co-create a world of wellbeing and health. As the founder of the thrivability movement and expert on collective thriving, Jean speaks about THRIVABILITY. She believes this word is a gift. It inspires you to wonder what it looks like in your context and make it show up. What comes alive in you? We dive deep into hedonic habituation and how to avoid falling into it, how to emerge to more positive futures, about co-creation and how to break down the “who” the “how” and the “what”, what a positive environment should look like and how to design it, and how to get set on a more participatory path. “Something about thriving speaks to our inner sense of harmony, abundance, greatness, generativity, aliveness, vitality, well being, and right-placement. What would our lives and the sum of our society be like if we said they were thriving?” If you are interested in open-source software or a better social ecosystem design, this chapter is for you!

In this epilogue, I finish the season by returning to the big picture. Because sustainability is not just about business, leadership and innovation. And it is certainly not just about surviving the future. It is also about living in a world of abundance and diversity in a way that that brings joy and inspiration. Jean M. Russell calls this Thrivability. I cover:- The Birth and Rebirth of Creation- Recalling and Retelling the Stories of Hope- Relearning the Skill of Listening to Life

Invited to have a conversation about the book “The Dawn of Everything”, Jean Russell did her level best to stay on topic. :) I did not help, mostly because her life’s work on Thrivability is so compelling. A brief introduction of Jean: She has been passionate about co-creating a more thrivable world since 2007.

This week Lou and Mel are going to be talking about "Thrivability" - what the six key elements are to being able to really thrive through trauma and a bit about how we got there ourselves.

Warning - this episode contains explicit language. What an absolute treat it was to spend nearly two hours with friend, fellow classmate, New Thought Minister, spiritual advisor, and healer, Rev. Ursula Lentine! One of our favourite conversations to date! :) Rev. Ursula's playful opening response of, "I am a speck of stardust in the Infinite Reality of the Cosmos; I am you, you are me", opened the door to an expansive conversation on freedom, choice, identification, Covid, The Hero's Journey, perception, surviving vs. thriving, control, questioning, faith and belief, and wanting to fit in. We talked about FOMO, the value of comfort (our own vs. others'), internal vs. external locus of control, and the challenges, even darkness of subconscious programming. Ursula also talked about her work, including Internal Family Systems, Pranic Healing, her year-long "Self-Mastery Course" (see link below), and her weekly online Twin Hearts Meditation (see link below). One of Ursula's final statements, "My brain and all parts of me trust ME" landed in a very profound way, bringing Lesia to tears. This, and so much more...! Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end! A new episode posted at least twice a month!

Make sure you subscribe, please! Zen opens a door to a deeper conversation about career changes and personal passions with Michelle Holliday, author and regenerative practitioner, who had a successful career in brand strategy, working for Coca-Cola and H.J. Heinz. You'll love the experience and wisdom shared by a career woman who converted her skillset to helping individuals and organizations thrive. You'll love the conversation of how she turned into a regenerative practitioner. According to Michelle, working for corporate concerns eventually felt empty. She moved on to employee engagement and consulted in the Washington, D.C. area, then felt drawn into the Art of Housing community of practice. Globetrotting, living 19 cities, including Moscow, London, Paris, New York and a small town in Scotland, she's brought her combination of skillsets to her home base in Montreal and engages the world from there. Her research, perspectives and practical experience are brought together in the highly acclaimed book, The Age of Thrivability: Vital Perspectives and Practices for a Better World, as well as in a popular TEDx talk and an online slideshow with close to 65,000 views. She also publishes reflections regularly in her blog, Thoughts on Thrivability, and on social media. Our discussion takes a unique course through her inner experience of feeling the disconnections in the existing corporate cultures, so much so that is affected her physical being. She speaks of how she learned to grow through it, researching the body's physiology and neuroplasticity and the natural or universal patterns that imbue life with a different, more resonance and harmonious, experience. We discuss the practicality of modern scientific discoveries aligning with the ancient spiritual teachings. We finish with a personal practice which can be used daily to connect more deeply to life and relationships.

It was clear from the beginning that he had a keen intellect, an avid curiosity, and a delight in life. The more I've gotten to know him, the more impressed I've been with his depth and breadth of knowledge across a wide range of disciplines. And as we've engaged more actively and directly in recent months, I've discovered what a joy it is to be in collaborative conversation with him, learning together along the way.

In this episode of The (Re)generative Education Podcast I chat with dr. Michelle Holliday, international consultant, leader and author of the acclaimed book The Age of Thriveability. In this chat we engage with what thriveability means in the context of higher education as the intention and practice of allowing life to thrive. First we need to understand what are the fertile conditions that life requires to thrive, then we need to set that as our clear intention and then bring it our education as an ongoing life practice. Collectively and individually. Michelle argues that following the patterns of life can allow for learning environments that are more empowering. These learning environments welcome and invite practical play in relationshipping. She sees education as a place to play games that purposefully serve our learning.   In this discussion the following systemic barriers and opportunities emerged:  The importance of nurturing the conditions conducive for life to thrive in our educational approach. Learning from the patterns of life when designign educational experiences. The power of inform, intent and practice as a basis for life-affirming education.  Each living system consist of parts, relationship, emergent wholes with dynamic characteristics not found in lower level of parts and that it is powered by life (self-organizing, self-managing and self-healing.  The importance of being a steward or gardener in learning environments, that nurtures and cares for the conditions that are fertile for learning.  The power of taking care about the biophysical surroundings and environment of the learning environments that allow for thriving learning.  The setting of shared purpose when learning together and enacting in practical play.  The power of having faith that valuable learning will happen even if it is not pre-planned and explicitely delivered by you. The combination of reverence of the magic and mystery of living things and responsible for the potential of living systems.  Externe Links:  Michelle Holliday | Home Michelle Holliday | Travel To Tomorrow Michelle Holliday – Medium About | The Age of Thrivability 

In this episode, Josie and Debbie interview Michelle Holliday, author of The Age of Thrivability and international thought leader in living systems principles. We discuss the idea that in a regenerative model, our organisations and communities are dynamic living systems, and therefore the role of tourism is to help create the conditions for these living systems to thrive.  If you've been following along with us on this journey, this episode will feel like a turning point in our exploration. Michelle invites us into a deeper level of thinking about what regeneration means, encourages bigger and more philosophical questions, and challenges us to acknowledge the presence of life in ourselves, our businesses, and our communities.  There is a lot to take in in this episode, so we invite you to take your time with it, ponder it, and acknowledge the enormous mindset shift that this work is offering us. We have no doubt that you will find value in this episode and it is one we will revisit as we continue this journey.

Has the mental health pendulum swung too far?Distress is a contentious topic. We no longer accept ‘toughen up, don’t cry’ as the appropriate message for our kids, schools, even workplaces but my guest today argues that ‘medicalising’ distress and jumping too quickly to diagnoses and clinical support might not be helping either.Professor Lindsay Oades is the Director of the Centre for Positive Psychology at The Melbourne Graduate School of Education. He firmly believes that "wellbeing is everybody's business" and his mission is to enable others to enable others.
