Natural Change for teams
Natural Change for teams is a complete and organic way to move to renewal, to improve sustainability, creativity (innovation) and go through deep change. This team journey provides tools for cultivating personal leadership, building learning teams and exploring
new ways of working together in alignment with Mother Earth and our natural way
of being. Finding our core strength again in this transformative journey.
I enjoy facilitating natural change for small teams, local initiatives &
medium-sized companies.
This journey is well suited for
Values-driven working
Shifting from result-driven to value-driven. Including the heart and clarifying what is essential. For you, your customers, your team, your organisation, stakeholders.
Teambuilding, forming new teams
Strengthening small teams, improving teambuilding, starting a new collaboration with a team and doing it in a connected and commited way
Working more sustainably
Working more sustainable, with less footprint, we can call it climate neutral.
But it is mainly out of a deep respect & care for Earth, Nature and all living beings
Improving creativity & innovation
Improving and strengthening your teams creativity & innovation by inviting it
Letting inspiration come in a natural way
The art of deep listening
Natural change starts with slowing down, listening deeply, observing more broadly, being curious and discovering. Then, at the right moment, taking the right action and from there evolving in small iterations. This journey of change is based on Theory U, a change methodology that assumes that everything that is needed is already present in the social field of the organisation. It is organisational development that invites you to take a step back and be attentively present. Because from your daily hustle and bustle, there is no complete overview and we do not perceive deeply. Let alone see sharply what is needed in innovation, sustainability or change.
There is power in deep listening and shifting your perspective from your daily activities to the outer edges of yourself and your organisation. By slowing down and perceiving better, you can act towards the future instead of repeating patterns from the past. In this journey of change, we focus on the highest potential, on the most creative flow, or in Theory U terms ‘your highest future possibility’.
5 Phases of Natural Change
1. Co-initiating
Slow down, create space. Uncover common ground & common intent
2. Co-sensing
Deep listening (4 levels), observing the social field of your team, your organisation.
3. Presencing
Liminality; retreat, stillness, not-knowing Allowing inspiration & inner knowing to emerge
4. Co-creating
Collecting seeds (possibilities) & shifting to prototyping. Act in an instant.
5. Co-evolving
Growing & evolving together by emobying and staying in the new.
Requirements for this journey
The most important tools we all have:
an open mind, open heart & open will
Navigating our blind spots
Natural Change is cyclical and goes deep. Theory U depicts this in the form of the letter U. Because both the visible and the invisible are included in the journey to renewal or change. In iceberg model, the visible is above the water. That what we do, say and see, the facts, the events. The invisible, underwater, is the unconscious part of yourself and your team. There we find blind spots, sometimes palpable, but they always affect the visible. And let these provide exactly the information we need to remove blockages or arrive at a solution or innovation in complex issues. These are the pearls we like to discover in Natural Change.
About Theory U
Natural Change is based on Theory U, a change method and proven framework for teams, managers and basically anyone who wants to influence change. It was developed by Otto Scharmer and the Presencing Institute 20 years ago. Besides many grassroots initiatives, also a lot of governments, NGOs and large organisations have used Theory U succesfully, see some well-known names on their impressive list of references.
"If we want to influence change in the outer world, we must first develop and strengthen the inner dimensions. That is the leveridge that will transform relationships. And when we transform our relationships, we transform everything." ~ Otto Scharmer
