IDG Resource Library
@Thomas Jordan has now built a dedicated website with resources primarily for people who want to use the IDG framework in organizations here AMAZING! Here are brief presentations of two key resources: ******* Manager’s Toolbox for Working with the Inner Development Guide This book is a practical collection of ready-to-use activities that managers and facilitators can apply directly with teams. It offers 31 clearly described exercises, ranging from a few minutes to extended sessions, each linked to specific IDG skills. The focus is on immediate usability: helping practitioners introduce inner development into meetings, workshops, and team processes without redesigning structures or requiring deep theoretical grounding. The Toolbox is especially useful as an entry point for organizations new to IDG work, or in contexts where time, mandate, or readiness for deeper structural change is limited. It emphasizes actionability and flexibility over long-term systemic design. ******* The Inner Development Guide for Teams This handbook focuses on how teams and departments develop collective capability over time. Rather than offering isolated activities, it provides structural “scaffolds” — meeting formats, routines, roles, and norms — that embed the Inner Development Guide into everyday work. Its core premise is that individual skills do not automatically become collective strengths; they must be enabled by deliberate structures and practices. The book is written for team leaders, managers, and consultants who want to shape how teams function as systems, building sustained capacities for reflection, collaboration, sensemaking, and action. It is best suited for practitioners aiming at long-term cultural change rather than quick interventions. ****** There are also a couple of web apps that give overviews of the practices, exercises, activities and structures that are described in more detail in the longer handbooks and essays.
@Thomas Jordan : What a lovely resource!!! I skipped the library and directly chatted with your custom GPT . It really felt like talking with an experienced colleague. I find this so useful!!
Job search
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
What about creating a jobs wanted/offered board here in the community - in a way you just started it, @Maya Bahoshy !
@Sarah Santacroce Kudos to @Maya Bahoshy :-)
Birthday month poll
@Nadene Canning and myself both have our birthdays in January, we're both Capricorns. It would be fun to know some of our birthdays, and if you know it, your Zodiac sign. The poll didn't let me add 12 options, so I had to group 2 months together. If you like, add your exact birthdate and zodiac sign in the comments ;-)

IDGs & Measurement
Many work environments live by the mantra: "What gets measured, gets done." Does this mean that IDG adoption @work depends on our ability to measure it? If so, is it even possible to measure Inner Development? Or does it risk over-simplifying the vastness of our human Beingness?

How can we work with the IDG in 1-1 coaching? As we just spoke about this in our connection call: our online survey is all about success at work, many different moments and stories or strategies to experience success. The survey is all about "What success do I want for the next years?" and people are selecting and identifying with some of these moments. We read the results and give a report in return to the selection of 4-6 such moments. It is a report on "where are you in your journey to wisdom". The report invites for reflection, is informed by adult development research and gives a basis for the coach and client to look both at it together and start the coaching process from there. If. you want to play with our prototype for developmental coaching you can start here: https://coaching.storymatcher.com/?ref=eyJjb2FjaEZpcnN0TmFtZSI6IlJhaW5lciIsImNvYWNoTGFzdE5hbWUiOiJ2b24gTGVvcHJlY2h0aW5nIiwiY29hY2hFbWFpbCI6InJhaW5lckBmcmFlbmRpLm9yZyJ9

@Sarah Santacroce It is a survey to "self" - everybody gets a result who does it. We have found that the stories people identify with express their worldview and the version of wisdom they currently use. We refer to Robert Kegan's model of adult growth over a lifetime, the survey report is inspired by this model and makes the inner landscape visible to the person. We have researched this over the last years in the context of a project in partnership with the IDG (see: cadra.li), and found that the results from the survey are very close to the results from the subject-object interview, which Kegan and his team from Harvard had developed. The difference is that the interview and its analysis take a lot of time and a well trained research team to process. We could make this now fast and automated. We are now testing how coaches can use the survey tool to share the report with their clients and build the coaching processes on the findings. While this is not yet finished, I can share that I met with many coaches who did use the tool for themselves. I was touched how much all were finding the report statements accurate for their current experiences in life. We have a group of coaches in a training as of next week, and I'll share more about our experiences in developmental coaching after the training
