In the Global Practitioner Network we kicked off 2025 with a series of 3 discussions on personal agency. This illustration was put together from the collective intelligence that came out of our first session, thanks to @Joe McMartin @Daria Larsson Vella and @Manuela Pagani Larghi If you missed the session we invite you to reflect on these questions in this community, together: Think about one or 2 recent events and notice when your personal agency went up. Which IDGs skills we need to develop/activate in order to move up from not being acting with agency? and What are the conditions that facilitate this or not?

One of the most frequently debated topics in the community of Inner Development Goals (IDGs) is the question: Can we measure IDGs? If so, how? @Mark Vandeneijdne , leveraging years of experience, has developed an assessment and measurement tool that provides a fresh perspective on this challenge. The IDG Measurement Tool is rooted in a unique philosophy, focusing on how skills and qualities manifest in real-life situations. Rather than serving as a rigid benchmark, this tool is 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫, helping individuals engage deeply with their inner development journey through the lens of the IDGs. 𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 A central feature of this process is the debriefing interview, conducted by trained practitioners. These interviews create a reflective space where participants can: - Explore their individual results in greater depth. - Gain insights into how their skills and qualities express themselves. - Discover actionable steps for growth aligned with the IDGs. We’re thrilled to announce that the first cohort of IDG Measurement Tool Practitioners has completed their training and is ready to collaborate with members of our community. 𝘼𝙣 𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙊𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 We are now offering community members the chance to: 1. Take an individual assessment using the IDG Measurement Tool. 2. Participate in a one-on-one debriefing interview with a trained practitioner, conducted in 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐞. As this is a pioneering effort, we aim to learn together. After the interviews, we’ll host a joint call for participants and practitioners to share insights and reflections on the process. This shared learning experience will help us refine the tool and deepen our understanding of how it supports inner development.

If you’re interested in participating in a debriefing interview after completing the assessment, we invite you to:

🤩 thank you to all who could make it to the connection call today! @Nadene Canning and I were so happy to see so many of you - in one of the busiest week's of the year! @Nadene Canning shared the Network Intelligence Matrix by Fabio Salvadori with us (see attached) and we then discussed in break-out rooms which quadrant zone we most hope to nourish in this community. On the 2nd attached image you then see what came up in our conversations and how maybe it's not as straightforward as just picking one zone. @Philippe Arnez's drawing (the one with all the arrows) suggests that it's probably an evolutionary journey. If you attended, please feel free to add your comments! @Brian Tucker, @Marvin Maneve, @James Wanyira, @Barbara Holzner, @Andrea Fernández, @Reka Rozsa, @Virginia Williams, @Joanna Haupt, @Alexandra Horvath, @Denise Pang, @Philippe Arnez who am I forgetting?

Dear Community, The IDG Foundation is undertaking a significant and inspiring mission to redefine the guiding principles of the IDG movement—principles that will serve as a foundation for how we advocate and integrate inner development for outer change. @Nadene Canning and I, as members of the Global Coordination Team for IDG Hubs and Networks (GCT), are deeply involved in this project, and we would love to hear your thoughts! Your input is highly appreciated as we work to co-create a shared foundation for the future. 💡 𝐖𝐞’𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐎𝐧: 1️⃣ What guiding principles do you believe are essential for fostering inner development that leads to meaningful outer impact? 2️⃣ Are there any frameworks or movements you know of with inspiring principles we should look to as benchmarks? ✨ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝: - By May 2025, the project team aims to create a first draft of these principles, gathering ideas from the IDG community and beyond. - The draft will then be tested, refined, and finalized for an launch at the IDG Summit in October in Stockholm. This is your opportunity to help shape the future of the IDG movement and inspire global action. Let’s co-create a foundation that truly embodies our shared vision for inner and outer transformation. Drop your thoughts, ideas, and inspiration in the comments below! With warmth and gratitude, Sibylle Update 17. February The work on the IDG principles continues and is still an ongoing process.

Dear community, in the first place apologizes for not giving any sign of live until now. I have gone through a difficult personal period and to be honest life doesn´t leave me so much time to dedicate in front of the screen. So in the first place I want to be transparent about this. In the second place it is also truth that I have a deep and sincere longing for building community around IDGs to build a better world. So I can tell you how I can contribute: I teach teams management and leadership at Zaragoza University, I teach conscious Leadership, Theory U and therefore Mindfulness together with an ethics for the common good. Every year after finishing the academic course, I offer my students to go on practicing Theory U and developing conscious leadership competences outside the official program, we do it within the in the facilities of the neighborhood association of my neighborhood, since the social field at the Economics Faculty where I work was not ready at all for it. I have been doing it since 2020. This year for the very first time, a team of 6 students from these last 5 years, has wanted to give back to the system for free what they received for free. We will be offering every two weeks, at the Economics Faculty of Zaragoza University, a space for deep listening as a base for conscious leadership competences. I will be holding the space, but the ex students will be the real protagonists giving the deep listening and helping students of the Economics Faculty that want to participate, to develop their competences to lead from the emerging future. It is a fantastic lab to see how the alumni use what they have learned with me in the past years, and how the current students receive from young people just a bit older than they are. I suspect that they will be receiving it much better from their peers. So I can contribute from time to time reporting on the development of the initiative. I hope this can add value to the community. For me just the fact of taking part of this community is highly valuable; just knowing that you are there ; that I am not alone is highly valuable
