Great article on the POWER of stress
Ben's top tips:
• Understand the positive aspects of stress
• Widen our tolerance for stress
• Explore how to respond to stress more creatively
• Focus on when we have faced pressure and grown or succeeded
I wrote a piece in the @guardian @ObserverUK yesterday, drawing on ideas from my new book, Upshift. Very happy that it's resonating for many people. Please do read and share.

So pleased to publish something *very* short & very simple about #collaboration: what it is, why it matters & how to do it!
It pulls together years of learning, reports & frameworks into just a few pages. If you want the most important stuff read this!

If you wanted to bring 150 people to a 'decision', what tools/processes would you use?
I'll start:
✨ Physical constellations
🌳 Using a 'decision tree' e.g. what 'leaf' decisions we an agree on? What trunk decisions?

Last week I had one of those magical insights you get when you're doing something inane
So, I decided to create more micro-pauses
It's hard, but I just did it
No insights, but I found some beautiful things in the garden 😍
What do you do, to allow space for emergence?

Come in - download the Playbook - be part of shifting how we move money towards the deep changes we need. This is such a micro-step in a landscape of such large shifts we need, let's just go for it from all sides.
I'm exploring complex responsive processes as an alternative to systems thinking
Esp as a lens for complexity in orgs
It helps me translate what I have learned about relationships, behaviour and neuroscience to complexity
This by @markwfoden is the clearest I've found:

What happens at the local level (conversations between people) create emergent patterns of behaviour at the org level
And those org patterns shape local interactions

The work of Ralph Stacey seems super useful in this
A few quick links below
Thanks @marco_eds for the 'complexity and orgs lunch and learn' learn, where Jemma introduced me to this!
Cynefin is powerful for identifying complexity
What other models help you talk about what happens IN that complex space?
(Esp interested in complexity inside orgs)

It changes as networks of
relationships form among people
who discover they share a
common cause and vision

"Reflection on how we are talking, carries with it the potential to make more explicit to us how we are thinking and how this in turn affects action.
By asking ourselves why things are the way they are we are calling into question power relationships"
