In these crazy times, we are finding that old habits and outdated processes and practices are failing us BIG time!

We are being called to engage with ourselves, each other and what is happening in the world differently. But with the ENORMITY of ALL that is going on what can we possibly do, that would be enough? This is not the question to be asking ourselves. Nothing we do, can ever be enough, because the situation is always changing and everything we do, changes it again.

Facing uncertainty, learning to trust ourselves and developing the capacity to meet and work alongside others, human being to human being is, perhaps, our biggest challenge and our biggest opportunity. And to do this better than we currently do, we need to come back to what is happening, what we are noticing, and what is in range: what am I being called to do, here and now, alone and with others, to make this next moment, this next interaction better than it was before?

Responding wisely and responsibly to the here and now calls on us to, simultaneously, take a DEEP dive and an expansive exploration with others. The praxis of Presence in Action enables the deep dive. The PAI+Participation Compass facilitate the expansive exploration. Both offer a radically different way to do what we need to do - alone and together.

Where might we start? With ourselves. Presence in Action is an astonishingly simple approach to accessing deep personal change over and over again. But it takes practice because, first, we need to unlearn and lay down outdated ways of thinking, being and doing...

Why? Because changing me, changes you. Understanding and learning to engage with this relational dynamic has its complexities.

Going there first is what 'leading' is about... engaging with others in fit-for-purpose ways is what makes it possible to stay in relationship.

Why not go there first with us, and see how far your ripples roll...?
