What did I notice this week from serving teams and leaders?

Dear community Send me an emoji if these Sunday updates support your week ahead. The energy of anger and frustration can be re-assigned and reframed to create and change - this might be our superpower in 2025. There are sooo many of us carrying guilt and shame about either: wanting to change career and do something for ourselves or realising that we have been part of the problem more than previously realised. This guilt and shame is isolating us and diminishing community. I currently coach 6 CEOs and senior c-suites, the common thread with the AMAZING people, are they taking on more responsibility during this recession to cultivate solutions, but their teams may not realise how much they are trying. It's just rough and tough for everyone involved. The C-suiters are also spending more time regulating their emotions and energy, knowing that they are taking on more responsibility. Our shadows are becoming even stronger. We are closing off more parts of us. instead of reclaiming more of ourselves. OK this was the woo-woo observation. Grounding, observing our feelings and getting aware of the sensations around us, takes only one minute. The more we practice this, the better we handle high stakes situations. Every time I support a team or individual to do this, they are feel more grounded in their plans and more compassionate to their worries - we carry alot of both in the social justice space. Bold action sessions I am stopping 'connect calls' this month. If you're booked on already you are super lucky! I invite you to Bold Action Sessions instead - to talk to me about ...What is a bold action you want to take in 2025? What are you whispering to yourself? https://calendly.com/mo-belonging-people/bold-action Appreciation corner If you have got impact from either my free books, free sessions or the newsletter, I'm want to raise enough money to print 100 copies of my books to gift to Global South leaders or under-represented leaders - you are welcome to make a donation here - Appreciation donation here Song for Sunday

Dear community I feel there are many people going through some kind of relationship ending right now, whether that’s: Work and redundancies Marriage and partnerships Friendships Or even a former version of yourself. In the past year: I separated from my beautiful ex-wife, Mia. I ended contracts. I stepped away from friendships. I let go of parts of myself and who I thought I was. Sometimes these endings were quiet. Sometimes they were filled with anger. Sometimes I played the barrister....
Dear community Saturday was epic. Six hours in nature with social impact leaders and directors. We created space. Reoriented the compass. Cultivated energy for life and impact. Energy. Clarity. Space. Those were the goals. Interestingly, all men. A small intimate group of director-level men. That felt powerful. Men in social impact, taking time to reflect, be still, go deep emotionally, AND be playful! It doesn’t happen enough. I know many of you can't make it to the retreat space, so I...
Dear community I’ve spoken to so many amazing people over the last two weeks, and here are some threads I’m noticing… There’s a lack of driven purpose, a sense of taking things day-by-day (survival mode), and a lot of energy spent just trying to stay regulated. Do you see how the lack of purpose and being in survival mode are linked? Money is a big worry for many right now, especially with the risk of job loss looming. Some organisations are offering counselling services, but they’re not...
