We invite you to consider how you intentionally build your personal and communal resilience as you live – and lead in – your life and reflect on what it is supported by.

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up
We don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up
‘Cause somewhere there’s a place
Where we belong

Peter Gabriel ‘Don’t Give up’ (1985)

Just as society can’t exist without a healthy physical environment, we contend – just like Peter Gabriel – that we can’t be resilient, healthy, full-of-life leaders, standing for societal rebirth and profound change during these times of collapse, without attending to our inner worlds, as a communal act.

As leaders we must clearly name and visibly model this whilst building community.

Increasing our mental resilience takes time and intentional effort.

How would it be if we each consistently, even when apparently time-scarce, as part of our daily work attended to

  • building connection and community – resilience is a relational quality,
  • our physical wellness and self-care, and
  • making meaning for our lives, together, identifying consciously as active curious #citizens alongside our system-given ‘consumer’ roles?

Your hosts will be James Barlow, Jake Farr and Kirstin Irving from Leading Through Storms.

We invite you to consider how you intentionally build your personal and communal resilience as you live – and lead in – your life and reflect on what it is supported by.
