🌀 What if a system has a body and a mind? For over two decades, trained as an Industrial Engineer and social scientist, I’ve worked with systems—modeling processes, solving problems, and designing solutions. Like many, I approached systems primarily through their external features: structures, shapes, and feedback loops. But six years ago, I started practicing contact improvisation dance, and something shifted. I learned how deeply connected the body and mind are, my proprioception ability is transformed, and it got me thinking: 💡 If systems have bodies, what do they feel? How do system feel from the inside? And how can we, as leaders, cultivate the “neurons” of our systems? Leadership is not just about observing external systems—it’s about feeling their internal dynamics. This requires: 👉 Shifting from structuring to allowing. 👉 Cultivating the felt sense of a system. 👉 Co-creating environments where relational intelligence thrives. This is the heart of Leading With Your Whole Self. Curious to explore? 🌿 Join us in Bali, March 15–21, 2025, for a transformative immersion into leadership, embodiment, and systemic intelligence.

🤟 Cultivate the courage to go forth, and ride the momentum to make it real. 🤟 In the fast pace and complexity of corporate life, it’s easy to feel stuck, weighed down by the routine and the constant demands. But what if we learn to shift from duty to service? From feeling overwhelmed to feeling aligned? From feeling bogged down by the system, to be an open system ourselves! 🌿 Our upcoming 6-day immersion in Bali, "Leading With Your Whole Self," is about cultivating the resilience, clarity, and emotional intelligence to navigate challenges with grace. Imagine finding sets of simple practices that keeps you grounded and energized, empowering you and your team to act with purpose, dignity, and clarity of mind.

What is Emergence—and why does it matter for leaders today? 🌱 Emergence is more than a concept; it’s a living phenomenon, a flow that shapes everything from nature to our personal interactions, and the dynamics within our teams and organizations. Some of you have probably read theories on how to tap the power of emergence to transform how we approach visioning, strategy, and action. But moving beyond theory, how do we embody this? How can we learn to sense, adapt to, and harness the emergent forces at play in our relationships, organizations, and our own bodies? 🌌 At Leading With Your Whole Self, we guide leaders on a journey through the "acknowledging–knowing–being" trajectory—teaching practices that let you tap into systemic intelligence. This isn’t just intellectual understanding; it’s about developing an attuned, grounded approach to leadership that empowers you to act with resilience and clarity in the face of complexity. If you’re ready to step into this new way of being--and subsequently, leading, join us for our 6-day leadership immersion in Bali from March 15-21, 2025. Co-facilitated by Michael Dowling and Nurvitria Mumpuniarti, this experience is designed for leaders who are eager to cultivate presence, adaptability, and authentic engagement with the world around them.

Creating a Kaizen culture requires leaders to embody and champion continuous improvement principles, fostering an environment where incremental changes lead to significant long-term benefits. Here are some interconnected thoughts on leadership in building this culture: 1. Lead by Example Leaders must model the behaviors they wish to see, consistently demonstrating Kaizen principles such as humility, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. By actively participating in improvement activities, they set the tone for the entire organization. 2. Empower Employees Effective Kaizen culture thrives on empowering all employees to identify and solve problems. Leaders should foster a sense of ownership by encouraging team members to take initiative and make suggestions, which builds a sense of responsibility and pride in contributing to continuous improvement. 3. Foster Open Communication Open dialogue and transparency are crucial. Leaders should establish channels where employees can share ideas and feedback without fear of retribution. This transparency helps uncover inefficiencies and promotes collaborative problem-solving. 4. Create a Learning Environment A culture of Kaizen thrives on learning from both successes and failures. Leaders should celebrate improvements and view mistakes as opportunities for growth, reinforcing the idea that every experience is a chance to learn and improve. 5. Recognize and Celebrate Small Wins Recognizing incremental improvements reinforces the value of continuous change. Leaders should celebrate even minor achievements, which motivates employees and demonstrates that all contributions, no matter how small, are valued. 6. Establish Clear Goals and Metrics Defining clear goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) helps align the organization towards common objectives. 7. Encourage Cross-Functional Collaboration Kaizen often involves breaking down silos and encouraging collaboration across departments. Leaders should facilitate opportunities for cross-functional teams to work together, address issues collectively, enhancing the organization’s problem-solving capabilities. 8. Provide the Necessary Resources and Training Continuous improvement requires knowledge and tools. Leaders should invest in training programs that equip employees with Kaizen methodologies and ensuring they have the resources needed to drive change. 9. Demonstrate Patience and Persistence Building a Kaizen culture is a gradual process that requires patience. Leaders must be persistent in reinforcing Kaizen principles, even when progress seems slow. Their long-term commitment signals that continuous improvement is not a passing initiative but an integral part of the organization's DNA. 10. Adaptability and Flexibility As the organization evolves, leaders must be adaptable, willing to refine strategies and embrace new approaches. This flexibility encourages a mindset that welcomes change and innovation, essential for a thriving Kaizen

To effectively manage and lead others through organisation change, you have to know where you are going, and what you have to do.   That is the easy part.   The real challenge is bringing your people along with you on the journey, moving them from resistance to acceptance of the change.   That is where your leadership comes in.   On 10 and 11 Oct 2024, I worked with three senior leaders in their respective organisations on the ins and outs of change management, how they can employ their leadership to lead their people through the journey regardless of the size of the change, and cross sharing of ideas and perspectives.   As one participant shared in his feedback:   “I flew in from Jakarta for this programme, and found the sharing and ideas generated from the discussions very helpful.”   When it comes to leading through change, it is always about the people who are experiencing the change, and what you can do to do rapidly shift them from resistance to acceptance.   What is your experience of organisation change?   #firsttimeleadership #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leader #leaders #firsttimeleaders #frontlineleaders #teamleader #leadingfromthemiddle #leaderofleaders #managerofmanagers #lftm #hod #headofdepartment #hods #headsofdepartments #changemanagement #changeleadership #changemanager #changeleader
