Peter Gardiner-Harding followed his passion and started to work as a professional actor in his thirties. Soon he discovered that he can combine his business background with the theatre experience and created a company which helps clients to change by engaging in theatre play. In the episode, we explore his approach to using carefully crafted scenarios to let his clients look into the mirror and learn from engaging in play. Holger and Peter perform a simulation, and they end this episode by some careful reflections on God.
Kelly Okamura has been a change agent in the fashion industry for 30 years, and she is a systems thinker. In this episode, we first talk about a dark chapter of Canadian history and then move to an analysis of change drivers which impacted the global fashion industry in the last two decades. My guest reflects on the slow but steady pace of change before we move into the issue of ethical consumer choices. I am tested to the bones!
At the beginning of each Days of Change Podcast episode there is a remarkable quote of my guest. This episode brings you the 24 quotes plus the songs my guest sang. And sorry, listeners, sometimes I sing too!
Troy Yorke is a Renaissance man. And as such, he bridges disciplines and art forms, mixes them and produces something new. In this episode, we talk about his extraordinary life - from the Arctic Circle via the concert halls of New York and the film studios of Hollywood to a coaching institute in Paris and beyond. We talk at length about Troy's philosophy in coaching and the different levels that a coachee can access. from story to game, from dream to source. This episode is an attempt to reach the source.
How to listen to connect? In this episode, Ute Franzen-Waschke and I explore together what happens in the brain when we are turning to another person. What is the "conversation cocktail" of hormones which either drives us towards or from connecting with each other? How can we stay true to our intention? In another part of this episode we discuss the issue of transparency - what do leaders need to observe it they want to form effective teams?
When do you have the chance to talk to a polymath? This episode with Phoebe Tickell covers so many different subjects: What is the meaning of inner space in which we find peace? Does the inner space exist at all and if so, how do we cultivate it? How is the outer space in which we work and live changing and how does it integrate with virtual space? Are Decentralised Autonomous Organisations replacing the traditional brick and mortar companies? And what is the BLACK MATTER, the "thing" between the three spaces? Is it what we need to address if we want to change organisations and the world - but we don't so so, maybe because we don't have yet a language for it?
Doug Gilbert is one of the leading teachers and researchers on change in organisations. He has a lot of experience a change practitioner in industry and as a teacher world wide. In this episode we talk about organisational leadership in general – the topic of Doug’s latest book – and about space as an element of change. What do companies have to consider when they design the physical and the virtual spaces for effective collaboration? And how does inner space come into that equation? A great intro into this year’s Berlin Change Days on the same theme.
How do you find the voice that makes you an advocate for the things you care about? In this episode, Simone Sloan and I discuss how we can grow and become whole by developing this voice and how we use power wisely. Besides we share our love for chocolate and together we sing a Bob Marley song. The two of us can't stop laughing!
Martine Reyners is an opera singer and she is a trainer for personal development and growth. At the beginning of her career, she lost her voice and was only able to gain it back after 12 years. In this podcast, we talk about how willpower can help us to overcome the strongest obstacles and how music in general and singing in particular can help us to connect with our true self. We talk about the magic of the opera and Martine and Holger sing together. Another episode about an extraordinary path through life.
In this episode, we talk about the basic traits of a facilitator. What are those and what makes the art of facilitation? Barbara Zuber has developed her own system of facilitation; in the Berlin School of Facilitating, she teaches the craft and like any craft, attitude is the essence. We further explore Theory U as a fundamental model for changing systems. And we look at what the cosmology of an indigenous Peruvian tribe can teach us.
Nik Beeson spent half of his life on the road. He has been an environmental activist, a conservationist, a spiritual chaplain, a caretaker for the excluded, a musician, a philosopher, a poet and much more. He is now leading the field of curiosity as an important aptitude in times of disruption. In this episode we talk about his extraordinary life and how we can cultivate curiosity as a skill for organisational change. And we listen to Nik's experimental music.
Dana calls herself a Badass Business Performance Coach and she worked as a dominatrix for 14 years. In this show, we revisit her extraordinary life. After we have explored the connection between the work of a dominatrix and that of a coach, we discuss various issues such as power, control and vulnerability. We also go deeper into coaching skills such as listening and speaking the truth. As this episode is labelled as explicit, you might not find it on all podcast apps.
Change is complex. Even with good intentions, our rational senses are often rather blocking us from building effective collaboration patterns in teams and organisations. The application of art in change processes can help. Jouke Kruijer is both - a gifted painter and a management consultant. In this episode, we talk about what the intimacy between the artist and his model can teach us about trust and how challenges in teams can be overcome when people allow their unconscious mind to play. Jouke also claims that sometimes - in a world of uncertainty - not knowing wins over assuming and not doing sometimes is superior to doing.
Treat yourself with one hour of wisdom! Daryl Conner has a legacy and he spent more than 40 years in exploring and explaining what change is about and how change can be facilitated. In this episode, we talk about the history of the change management discipline, about the conditions leaders need to provide for successful change and about the change facilitator's path to mastery. Packed full with deep insights, this is the episode that everybody involved in transformational processes should listen to.
Mary Alice Arthur is leading the field in two disciplines, or shall I say in two forms of art: The Art of Storytelling and the Art of Hosting. In our new episode, she talks about the legacy of the two approaches and how they can help to transform the stories that we tell ourselves, and ultimately the world. How to we bring innovation to societies and organisations and how to we work on our own practice? Mary Alice is a strong voice against indifference and for helping to design the future that we all dream of.
Sue Knight is the mastress of coaching with humour and she is a great teacher on personnel development and change. In this episode we chat about Frank Farrelly, the founder of provocative coaching and how Sue has integrated his teachings into her own work. Holger gets coached live and trips into several potholes. We reflect on the presuppositions of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and reflect on how a coach can support effective work teams. This is the episode with the most laughter so far but also with deep insights about how we can get better at what we do.
Julie Diamond is one of the world's best experts on the issue of power. Holger talks with her about whether power corrupts and how power can become a resource for better leadership. We debate whether women lead differently than men and whether political activists have an insight into their own changeability. Finally, we discuss what happens with power when organisations introduce flatter hierarchies.
With Daniel Sigrist, we talk about the future of organisations and we debunk some big concepts such as holacracy and sociocracy which propose a new form of governance beyond traditional hierarchies. What are the underlying principles that might change the way we think organisation? Daniel and Holger play around with some new ways of fast and decentralised decision making. And we hear some music of a Swiss singer songwriter.
What an episode! Belina Raffy is the Queen of Applied Improv. We talk about the power of metaphors in organisational development, how intentional choice of language makes a huge difference to personal relationships and collaboration in teams, and how a positive attitude and kindness can make a huge difference to the world. Belina and Holger play some applied improv games and have a lot of fun! And you will also hear about the experiences of an agent of joy in Iran.
What’s organisational culture? What happens to the company culture in times of crisis? Who is actually driving change? Can (and should) HR departments have a a leading role in transformation processes or did they loose their momentum? And if so, how does HR need to change? Sandeep Aujla, a change management expert from Toronto, has answers to these questions and summarises what’s important in change processes. Plus a reflection on how we can tame our anger.
