LDP Community Inquiry

Three times a year the community gathers online to engage in collaborative inquiry around a topic or area of interest brought to the community by members of the community. We welcome not only authorised users of the Leadership Development Profile but anyone who has an interest in adult development. The intent is to provide a regular co-created space for like-minded people to hang out together and deepen our individual and collective inquiry process on topics that feel important and of interest to us. You may come regularly, pop in sometimes or join us for a one-off topic that engages you.

Our next session will be Conscious Living in a Whirlwind hosted by Lindsay Wittenberg and Rebecca Stevens on 4 April 3-5pm (UK)

Looking at it now, life five years ago, pre-Covid, seems almost simple. But it didn’t look or feel simple when we were in it. And in five years’ time, we may look back and say, “Wasn’t it simple five years ago?”. From our RUPT (Rapid Unpredictable Paradoxical and Tangled) world of today, what will be the speed and complexity of change and what demands will be tugging at us five years from now (or maybe even in two or three years)?

As more is demanded of organisations and other systems, the more they demand of those within these systems, and the more they demand of us as practitioners. We find ourselves in a time where we are required to deliver more and more, at a faster pace, with less and less, in an existentially challenging context. 

Our current inquiries include:

•   What meaning do we make of this whirlwind we find ourselves in? 

•   How is it impacting us, our clients, the people we care about, and the systems we are part of?

•   What do we need for ourselves?

•   What do our clients and the world need from us right now?

•   What role does adult development and our maps play in helping us navigate this whirlwind (or doesn’t it)?

Lindsay and Rebecca welcome you to this next LDP Community Inquiry, if any of this sparks your curiosity and interest.
