Hello everyone, The topic of spirituality and inner development inspired me to share something I'm preparing. I am hosting a small 60-minute workshop called Listening to What Is Changing and wanted to share it with this community. It’s for people who sense that something in their life is shifting—even if they can’t quite name what—and want space to pause and listen for what might be emerging. It feels like a particular moment right now, where personal transitions and broader collective shifts are sitting closer together—and worth making space to explore. Monday, April 13 · 11:00–12:00 PM PT Zoom Register here: https://goldenthreadcoach.com/events This is an edge for me, offering work that feels more spiritually aligned. I’m very much in the shaping phase of this, and I would genuinely value any honest feedback—what resonates, what doesn’t, and what could be clearer. I have a few spots remaining and would love to welcome some of you there! Warmly, Julie

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a few reflections from yesterday's ID@Work Skill Builder session on redefining success — a topic that seems to be alive for many right now. A few threads that stayed with me: - The moment when the old definition of success no longer fits - The identities and expectations we have to let go of in that process - The tension of being "in-between" — where the new isn't clear yet - How inner development skills support this transition (self-awareness, discernment, boundaries…) - And the reminder that our role is not to define success for others, but to support their discovery of it You can read the full newsletter here: [LinkedIn Newsletter] Coming up next week on Tuesday, April 7th, 8.30am: our Skill Builder on Spirituality & Inner Work — exploring the intersection of spiritual practice and inner development, including whether spirituality is reflected in the 23 IDG skills or whether something is missing. It's a topic we don't talk about enough. I hope you'll join us. Warmly, Sarah (& Nadene)

Here is the new updated guide with the explanation of each them and related competencies. Also included is the Translator version for those of you working in other languages

Proyecto Ánkyra from Argentina: In Argentina, a teenager dies by suicide every 20 hours, while millions worldwide also face loneliness, anxiety, depression, and loss of purpose. "Contribuir" is not just a name but a living verb—an interschool incubation program of human vocation and community leadership where inner development becomes a path to inspire, empower, and humanize young people so they can flourish together and regenerate the ecosystems they are part of. Taiwan Kaohsiung IDG Hub for SDGs: Integrating IDG and SDG for an I.D.E.A.L. and sustainable planet from a higher education institute. Chia Wang, an aerosol scientist came to comprehend that everything is connected from the molecular level, and each of us belongs to a part of the Oneness. This complexity awareness, and appreciation of the close connectedness inspired the integration of the IDGs with the SDGs, aiming to bridge polarities, break boundaries, and re-establish an I.D.E.A.L. (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Appreciation, Love) and sustainable planet for the benefits of ALL! Boston IDG Hub: How Inner Development is Defending and Renewing American Democracy. The New Politics Academy recruits servant leaders–military vets and alumni of civilian service programs including Americorps and PeaceCorps-to run for elected office. Their approach is grounded in inner development, and it is shaping the resistance to authoritarianism in America. It was VERY challenging for us* to choose three projects among the 40 projects and it has been incredibly inspiring to see all the amazing work that is being done around the world. *( @Pontus Holmgren @Erica Harpe @Ritu Rana and yours truly @Nadene Canning ) Thankfully a platform for showcasing stories from the field to integrate in the Summit digital platform. https://idgstories.com Many submissions came from our amazing community!

As a founder of this community I’m involved in an EU research project exploring resilience as a lived, daily, and processual practice, which asks how creativity might ground us, connect us, and equip us to imagine — and act on — more humane, inclusive, and future-ready systems. Key areas of exploration: -Learning from those who dare to stand outside the system -Creative thinking for ethical, inclusive systems in the AI age -Resilience as lived, human practice -Creativity, storytelling, and adaptive capacity -Economic and collaborative models for humane, preventive resilience If you’re interested AND have time to get involved.. Raise your hand 🙋🏻 in the comments (this week) and I’ll tell you more.
