Hi all, It was a pleasure to connect with those who were able to attend the call this morning. What a beautiful and nourishing community. I wanted to pick your brains as I have been freelancing for a while, but starting to consider searching for a more permanent/stable job and have been wondering if there is a job site linked to IDG aware/IDG progressive organisations? It feels like it would be a wonderful resource for the community..but I have yet to find one! Thanks

Hi Community On today's Skillbuilder we explored what it really takes to lead—and collaborate—across difference in today’s fractured world. @Nadene Canning opened the session by framing 3 themes that feel especially urgent right now: • The perils of silence • The resilience of civil society • Moral ambition as a leadership capacity This was inspired by Jonathan Normand’s recent reflection “Davos in the Shadow of Unilateralism: A New Leadership Imperative the session invited us to look honestly at our own choices: >> When do we choose safety or silence over responsibility? 💬 What emerged Those present shared candidly about: • Speaking up (or staying silent) in meetings • Managing energy and disappointment when advocating for change • Taking responsibility even when impact feels uncertain ✨ Collaboration, it turns out, is not just a skill—it’s a practice of courage, care, and collective agency. What emerges for you when you reflect on this question: Where am I choosing safety or silence over responsibility? 👇 Drop your reflection in the comments With care Sarah & Nadene P.S. The Skillbuilders replace the previous weekly Hangouts. We meet every week for an applied IDG skill building reflection / discussion / action-taking on Tuesday, rotating between 8.30 am, 12.30pm and 6pm (CET time). Please join us next Tuesday, Jan 27th, at 6pm CET

Hey everyone! I'm thinking of making a mini course that will help you discover or clarify what your highest values are. I'm curious, what are you values? Try to say them in one word. I'll go first!

Hello community, We're heading into February and are looking forward to seeing more of you! Next week there are 2 opportunities ☺️ 1. Join us on February 3rd at 12.30 for a 30-minute session looking at the question “What is My Role Now?” These weekly sessions are designed to be self-reflective and hold space for shared sense-making. They're are a good way to get to know other members of our community, happen weekly, every Tuesday and are free for all.. 2. Thursday, February 5th we’re going live from 13.00 with the Facilitator Incubator. This first session is all about Hosting Yourself. The most important thing as a facilitator is that we fully show up in our BEING. 👉Detachment as a Facilitation Discipline is the focus of this session. No techniques. No fixing. No right answers. This session is your chance to notice what happens when you stay fully present without trying to steer the outcome. If you facilitate groups and feel the subtle pull to intervene, rescue, or make things “work,” this space is for you. Come curious. Join us here With gratitude for the work you're doing in the world. Nadene & Sarah
