Once you begin down this path of exploring and acting on the connection between your core values, your sense of life purpose, and your day-to-day work, you might well begin to wonder how you can best invite others in your organization to join you on this journey. We were hoping you would ask.
Overview
Finding ways of inviting others in your organization to join you on this journey is important for a couple of reasons. For one thing, this journey you’ve begun, while marked by milestones and sustained by occasional oases, is less a journey with a permanent destination, but is rather a lifelong approach for integrating who you are and what you believe with what you do in the world. And it’s been our experience that to sustain this kind of journey over time, it really helps to travel in the company of others. Moreover, if you want this journey to make a difference in the larger life of your organization, you will need to be joined by others who share this desire.
Two Journeys – Two Movements
STW’s work with teams invites individual leaders to begin the process of expanding the benefits and impact of this journey within your organization by joining with co-workers. Team members embark on the two journeys – an inner journey and an outer journey. Both journeys are essential to living out a larger sense of meaning and purpose. And each of these journeys consists of two movements. The first movement is all about seeing, seeing one another both individually and as a group and the world around you with clarity, compassion and wisdom. The second movement is focused on acting with purpose and courage. Moreover, team members will be introduced to a new skill essential to deepening the sustaining the journey, the art of holding one another in trust.
