A full week in the ID@Work community and many new members (and we passed the 500 member mark, woot woot 🙌) Welcome to the community @Birgitte Janssen, @Stefan Baumeister, @Tanya Zamora, @Lindsay Hindle, @Magdalena Krippner, @Ruth Nelson-Andorf, @Lana Turashvili, @Wim Beunderman - we look forward to getting to know you! Please post an introduction! --- Here's what happened this week, and what's next. 🎙️ CONVERSATION WITH MIKE ROWLANDS Yesterday we had a rich 45-minute conversation with Mike Rowlands , who works at the intersection of organizational leadership and social purpose through his firm Junction Strategy. Three things that stuck with us: - the leap to "exist to serve society" requires a much deeper rethink of what a business is actually for. - And... 38% of SMEs are already moving toward social purpose. The wave is real. - Cross-sector learning & convening (healthcare, Indigenous frameworks, biz schools) is the underused opportunity. The recording is below. -- 🛠️ FACILITATION & DESIGN INCUBATOR We also ran our Incubator session this week, exploring how to facilitate a 60-minute introduction to the Inner Development Guide. The recording is now available in the replays for Premium members. --- 🌐 TUESDAY'S SKILL BUILDER: INTERCONNECTEDNESS Through a simple drawing exercise rooted in the Ubuntu philosophy — I am because we are — we explored what interconnectedness actually looks like in our lives, and what it means for the kind of changemakers we are together. → Join the conversation here --- ⭐ NEXT SKILL BUILDER: SPIRITUALITY & INNER WORK Tuesday, May 12th, 6pm CET In this session, we create space to explore what it means to bring your whole self — including your spiritual life — into the work of inner development. For your own inner work. And maybe even your organization's.
