@Veronique Sikora Gasser thanks for sharing your sadness. To me it showed up as 'disillusionment' or maybe disappointment. At the same time I think it belongs to this shift of paradigm. Erik said it himself, it was built on the old 'top down' foundation and therefore couldn't be sustained. Of course we're in the transition phase and that's not comfortable, and maybe combined with sadness, frustration etc.

I would have loved to attend, but it's too late for me. But I'd like to invite you to report back here what you learned from stepping into your courage and bringing a more spiritual touch to your work, @Julie Gefroh ! I'm planning to make 'courage' the topic for the April 28th Skillbuilder

@Veronique Sikora Gasser wonderful combination of creativity & nature connection 🤩

@Veronique Sikora Gasser do you plan to attend?

Here's what happened in today's Skillbuilder about this topic (copy from our LinkedIn Newsletter) : In today's Skillbuilder session we explored a topic that is showing up more and more — even if we don’t always name it directly: spirituality. I opened with this question: What role does spirituality play for you — and do you see it reflected in the IDG skills, or is something missing? How spirituality shows up What followed was a nuanced and honest exploration. For some, spirituality showed up as presence — the ability to be here, grounded, aware. For others, it was about connection — to purpose, to others, to something larger than the individual self. One participant described it as “moral curiosity” — a continuous inquiry into what truly matters and how we align our actions with that. Is something missing in the IDG framework? We explored the idea that spirituality might live within the existing dimensions. In Being — through self-awareness, presence, and inner compass. In Relating — through connectedness and compassion. In Collaborating - through partnering with something bigger than ourselves. Not as a separate category, but as a quality that deepens how these skills are experienced and expressed. Almost “undercover.” Does spirituality belong at work? The second question brought us into more practical territory. Does spirituality belong at work? Here, the answers were less about yes or no — and more about how. One example shared was introducing small moments of silence or reflection in a classroom setting. Initially uncomfortable. But over time, appreciated. Not because it was labeled as “spiritual” — but because it created space. What it looks like in practice And that seemed to be a key insight: Spirituality in professional spaces doesn’t need to be explicit. It needs to be accessible. It can come through: creating moments of pause in busy environments supporting reflection, not just action inviting people to connect to purpose and meaning holding space for deeper conversations when they arise
