Spirit at Work: ecosystemic thinking for leading deeper change with Hetty Einzig

This webinar is part of Alef Trust’s Transforming Organisations Hub series of live sessions oriented towards transpersonal perspectives that support conscious leadership, systems change, and sustainable impact

In this session with Hetty Einzig you will receive an introduction to ecosystemic thinking, create your own ecosystems map, share discussion and work challenges with peers, and learn how an ecosystemic mindset enables leading for greater meaning and purpose in our work and in our lives.

Recent and current global events – extreme weather events, climate crises, polarised politics and wars – remind us ever more acutely that we are all interconnected – that what happens the other side of the world affects us too. But the converse is also true: our decisions and actions have consequences for others and on places often far from where we lead our daily lives. And the rise of AI is calling into question what it means to be human today.

Living in a globally networked, media saturated, 24/7 world we cannot remain unaware of this interdependence. Yet we continue to follow models of coaching and leadership that are linear and binary: focused on individuals, and simple chains of cause and effect. But individuals constantly interact with, and are impacted by, their contexts and environments – as well as their pasts and their futures. Professional challenges have hidden psychodynamic undercurrents, problems have multiple enmeshed causes and solutions often cause further problems. This is complexity.

Today, more than ever, if we wish to lead change meaningfully and purposefully we must engage with complexity. Issues around awareness, responsibility, vision and ethics press upon us, as leaders, coaches and citizens. Cultivating an ecosystemic mindset, develops our awareness of the links, patterns, influences and dynamics within complex organisations, communities, nations – and ourselves. Understanding that people and organisations are ecosystems embedded within ecosystems enables coaches and leaders to understand the dynamics of networked relationships and actions, and therefore to work better with complexity and make more informed, considered and hopefully – wiser decisions.
