EVENT: Exploring the Inner Development Goals for new perspectives
Join us for a thought-provoking and practical session where we’ll explore how inner development can unlock your capacity to lead real change—for yourself, your team, and your organisation.
Discover the Inner Development Goal framework and explore your own challenges through the IDG lenses.
Dr Sue Mitchell, co-founder of the IDG Edinburgh Resilience Hub, is facilitating this free event at the University of Edinburgh Business School. It is open to all with an interest in the topic, including business owners, managers, leaders, change-makers, and staff and students in the University.
Transform the stress, uncertainty and conflicts that so often accompany the challenges you face in life and work.
The IDG Edinburgh Resilience Hub community explores how to thrive with long-term resilience through complex adaptive challenges. Together we can make our world a better place, one step at a time.
The IDG events are for you when you have experienced challenges that stretch your inner capacity to deal with them (whether personally or within your team or organisation). The IDGs can help you transform that challenge and the associated stress, 'fire-fighting', overwhelm, conflicts, or 'feeling stuck', to positive and sustainable ways to thrive. Many of our challenges in this fast-changing world are complex adaptive challenges - those annoyingly persistent problems, issues and challenges that don't have easy or obvious solutions, or no single solution. These are the challenges that you might be able to 'fix' or resolve to some extent for a while but then it recurs or just raises another issue. The IDGs support us to enhance resilience with optimism, perseverance and courage to take action - to "dare to do differently."
Resilience encompasses (i) the ability to predict and prepare for difficult conditions, which is why enhancing systems awareness is so valuable to raise resilience, and (ii) the ability to respond effectively and bounce back from such conditions when they occur. The IDG skills are valuable for both these components of resilience. Resilient people, teams and organisations respond to complex challenging circumstances more effectively.
The IDG Edinburgh Resilience Hub is for change-makers, managers and leaders and aspiring change-makers, managers and leaders in any profession and sector, who want to address challenges in life, in work and/or in sustainability.
