Regenerative Change Lab

Hello Fellow Change Leader, In this era of increasing complexity and change, when everything we think we know doesn't seem to make sense anymore, where do you find the energy, inspiration, clarity, and purpose to keep moving forward and making a difference in the world? Please join me and my colleague Cynthia Scott Ph.D. M.P.H. - Aug 27, 12-1pmET - for a live, interactive experience and learn how to tap into the power of Regenerative Change. In this session, we will provide you with a taste of what a regenerative meeting feels like, connect you with other change leaders from across the world, and let you peek behind the curtain on our Regenerative Change Navigation leadership course. Have you ever experienced regeneration in action? Are you curious about how a one-hour meeting can actually be a source of renewal; helping you and your team reconnect, re-energize, and refresh during your busy day? What does it take to be a truly effective leader amidst a sea of change? Come find out on Aug 27th. We look forward to meeting you! A little bit about our course: The 8-week Regenerative Change Navigation leadership course provides an immersive learning experience for change leaders to connect with each other and apply living systems principles to change leadership practices; developing leadership capabilities to simplify, embody, and operationalize regenerative change in ways that enhance personal wellbeing, team cohesiveness, and performance. Past participants have said... "This program was a game-changer for me. I got space for reflection and learning and the discussions on regenerative design sparked new ideas and inspired me to reimagine my approach to sustainability. I look forward to applying these insights in my work." ~Amy Hall, Social Consciousness Strategic Advisor, EILEEN FISHER, Inc. "I was professionally inspired to think outside the traditional sustainability box and align with innovative principals, earthly cycles and ancient traditions that I apply to my work and academic worlds. I also enjoyed the community building and collaborative conversations with deep change management thinkers and doers!" ~Bonnie Nixon, PhD, ESG & Sustainability Director, LBCT, UCLA and BonnEco "I highly recommend this program! Brad Peirce and Cynthia Scott offer brilliant material and a genuine breadth of knowledge for applying living systems to help leaders navigate today's complex challenges." ~Scott Seivwright, Enterprise Agile Coach and Consultant

Meet Regenerative Change Leader - Erika Kimball - a RN and Founder / CEO of?Kimball Sustainable Healthcare, a?sustainability consultancy that provides sustainability strategy, program development, change management, reporting and communications to the healthcare industry. In this spotlight interview, Erika talks about three specific focal points (or, as we like to call them, "stepping stones") that provided valuable insights she brings into her leadership and her business, and also to her clients: 1) Three Horizons, 2) Seasonality, 3) Conscious / Resilient Leadership practices. The Three Horizons appealed to Erika because it provided her with a mental model or map to better understand and appreciate the contextual awareness that is needed for the multiple dimensions of her work to bring sustainability into healthcare. From a Seasonality perspective, Erika says that looking at healthcare through the lens of the seasons helps her take a more holistic perspective in noticing the patterns and cycles, and ebbs and flows of change, both in the industry and inside the organizations with whom she is working. She says this course offered her a new set of tools and frameworks, new ways of applying living systems principles to time-tested change practices, that have helped her uncover new levels of resiliency in her own leadership as well as regenerative pathways for personal development and culture change inside of her client?ecosystems.

Meet Regenerative Change Leader - Nick Tucker - a British-born New Zealander who owns and manages a regenerative farm in northern New Zealand. He is also a Marketing Communications expert and coach who works globally to market, coach and mentor organizations wanting to move to a more holistic, human and authentic way of marketing. Between running his own farm, consulting and coaching, Nick also works on a NZ gov't funded project to facilitate and promote farmer-to-farmer learning and support amongst those implementing regenerative farming practices in New Zealand. What Nick found unique about our course is that looks specifically at how to apply a regenerative lens to navigating and leading change; including how to find the courage and energy within himself to navigate change, and how to work with and influence the people and systems that are resisting change. In this course, Nick gained new regenerative tools and practices that have helped him develop more resilience (e.g. focus, presence, courage, and energy) when faced with resistance to the regenerative concepts he is trying to instill into the systems and people with whom he works. He is also finding that the course helped him create more fertile ground for regenerative change efforts to take root, within himself and others, for further creativity and exploration. Nick also found the course offered a welcome relational space to cultivate lasting relationships and develop greater self-awareness, language, and energy for change among a group of like-minded people; helping him feel more connected and less 'alone' as a regenerative change practitioner.

Meet Regenerative Change Leader - Arév Hakobyan ?? - a Human-Centered Nature-Inspired Innovation Consultant, Facilitator & Coach?based in Canada. Arev said the course was a big eye-opener for her; giving her a new language and lens to better understand herself, her team and the organizations with whom she works. Arev found that the course helped her gain a deeper appreciation for meeting people where they are in terms of their energy levels in relation to themselves, to each other, and to their work or project. As an Agilist, Arev finds that the constant pursuit of 'continuous improvement' can be exhausting. The course helped Arev develop her abilities to be more present and aware of the energetic cycles of her team and projects, to work more compassionately with her team, to create safe spaces for communicating in more self-aware ways, and to design healthy paths for everyone's success. Arev has long considered herself an 'Achiever' and often measured herself based on what she had achieved or not achieved. The course helped her un-learn old ways of thinking, being and doing; realizing she could take time to heal, to listen to her body (heart and gut), to let go of the need to control outcomes, and to be more open to the 'uncertainty' of what may come as a result of slowing down or letting go. Arev says she uncovered new levels of confidence and joy in celebrating spaciousness, uncertainty, self-care and renewal, as much as she celebrates her accomplishments. On many levels, Arev restored an inner/outer ecosystem balance for herself through the course.

Meet Regenerative Change Leader - Jenna Robertson - Certified Regenerative Leadership Coach + Creative Facilitator for creatives and leaders. She is also an?internationally award-winning opera singer, artist and arts leader. I highly recommend listening to her sing! (link in blog). Jenna has been a member of our community since May, 2023 and participated in Cohort 1 of the Regenerative Change leadership course. Jenna joined me for our "Voices" interview series where she talks about?how the course was well worth her getting up at 3am (Australia time) to connect with other change makers and leaders from around the world, and to learn about how to combine living systems principles with change leadership practices. She said the mapping exercise helped open her heart to understanding the challenges of navigating the different worldviews and systems of our world; multiple shifting horizons that many change makers find themselves operating, designing, and communicating within, and often becoming exhausted, frustrated, and burnt out...within. Having a better understanding of the billions-of-years-old evolutionary landscape, language and metaphors of nature has helped Jenna align her inner and outer worlds; revitalizing the necessary energy, clarity and purpose to carry on.

Meet Regenerative Change Leader - Joanna Masraff ??(Jo), Agile and Sustainability Coach at AND Digital. Jo has been a member of our community since May, 2023 and participated in Cohort 1 of the Regenerative Change leadership course. Jo joined me for our "Voices" interview series where she talks about the positive synergies between our work in Regenerative Change and her work in Agile; specifically within the context of the human dimensions of change. She found that the 8-week Regenerative Change Navigation course awakened and renewed her connection with the natural rhythms, patterns and flows of the living world in ways that refreshed and revitalized the way she lives, works, and coaches her clients; helping both herself and her clients live happier, healthier and more effective lives.

Meet Regenerative Change Leader - Cherry Ward, Founder of Bluebird Leadership & Thriving Women. Cherry has been a member of our community since May, 2023 and participated in Cohort 1 of the Regenerative Change leadership course. Cherry joined me for our "Voices" interview series where she talks about how our session on seasons (i.e. nature's rhythmic cycles, patterns, and flows) helped her 'un-condition' some of her inherited ways of thinking and being, to see and address problems differently, and to show up differently in life. She says that she now deliberately finds time for 'wintering' (i.e. slowing down, allowing things to die that no longer serve) inside of a business world that places so much emphasis on 'summering' at all costs (i.e. growth and productivity, peak energy expenditure); leading to exhaustion, overwhelm, and ultimately burn out.
