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.

Tapping into the 'wisdom of the crowd'. Which cover makes you think "Humm...that book looks welcoming. I'd open it." I'm LITERALLY asking you to judge a book by it's cover. 📚🤔 😁 There is: 1. Warm watercolor 2. Muted watercolor 3. Warm line-art Our (@Mark Vandeneijdne and myself) book, "Coming Home to Who You Are" has original cover artwork by Monia Pereira. However, we're using AI to play with the styles, and see which one resonates more. Open to helping? If you had to decide on a cover, which would it be?

Hey there, I'm developing an app for post-secondary learners to link their Inner Development Goals (IDGs) with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through projects. There's a demo video below. The goal is two-fold: 1. develop adolescent/youth well-being from the inside out 2. accelerating SDG progress through actionable IDG practices Site for feedback: https://projects.marcushiggs.com/ Check out the demo: https://v0-project-spark-finder.vercel.app/ What features would you recommend for this app? Thanks for your feedback!

In our April InnerDevelopment@Work community call last week, we explored abundance – not as a goal to chase, but as a mindset we can cultivate. Not in some faraway ideal – but right here, in our everyday lives and in our work with clients and organizations. 🌱 Nature constantly creates abundance – yet we often rush past it, disconnected. As changemakers, we see how this rush extends into business life: there is little space for pausing, reflecting, realigning.Overconsumption, burnout, “not enough” – these are the symptoms of a deeper imbalance. Together, we reflected: 🌀 What if abundance is a matter of perspective? 🌀 What if the IDGs are not abstract ideals, but concrete levers to shift how we perceive and act – in ourselves and in systems? Especially dimensions like Complexity Awareness and Perspective Skills help us reframe: - From scarcity to presence. - From chasing more to seeing enough. - From stuckness to aligned action. 🌱 "𝑨𝒃𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔." That was our most powerful collective insight. We would love to hear from you: 💬 What does abundance mean for you — in your life, your work, or the systems you’re part of? 🧭 How might the IDG skills — across all five dimensions of Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating, and Acting — help us notice and value the abundance we already have? Feel free to share your perspective in the comments — let’s make visible how diverse, grounded and human abundance can be.
