"Restoring Sanity: Practices to Awaken Generosity, Creativity and Kindness" with Margaret Wheatley
Description
Meg Wheatley is the author of 12 books, a social activist, a global leadership and organizational consultant, a Buddhist practitioner and a guide and trainer for Warriors for the Human Spirit.
After a lifetime of activism and a deep understanding of how living systems work, she’s come to realize that life is no longer subject to the kind of interventions that used to be effective.
In today's conversation we explore her newest book Restoring Sanity: Practices to Awaken Generosity, Creativity and Kindness in Ourselves and Our Organizations and what’s possible when we follow the threads of curiosity and the mystical in our relationships and work.
Join us for some clear-eyed wisdom about how to best participate in the world we are now living in, including:
- what it means to become a Warrior for the Human Spirit
- the conditions that enable us to work together in empowered ways
- harnessing the power of curiosity to access joy
- connecting with the guidance that's revealed in the natural world
- essential practices that help us to be a stable, compassionate presence in difficult moments
- embodying sane leadership
- creating Islands of Sanity in a toxic culture
- listening to the world's needs to clarify meaningful purpose and action
