Welcome to Poetry of Work

This blog is a place to cultivate conversations that matter and to re-imagine work together.

 

 

 

I have been thinking and learning about leadership development and group process for a long time.

It has been a worthwhile journey. 

I'd like to invite you into a question I ponder and study frequently―

What is leadership, really?

 

 

It seems an especially important question to me,

here, now, on the beautiful blue spinning planet earth.

 

 

What is leadership, really? This question has, like all good questions, 

 led me to some amazing observations and experiences through the years.

Continuing that work is what this blog is about―

The reason I write is to re-imagine work, together .

 

 

 To begin this pilgrimage I’d like to invite you to 3 deep intentional breaths and a short journaling exercise.

When you can find some time and space bring along a pencil and journal (or recycle a piece of paper, if you care to).  

The exercise will take about 5 minutes (feel free to take longer). See where it leads you.

 

Find a quiet spot.

Take 3 deep breaths...

breathing in and breathing out…

slowing down for a moment.   

            

 For at least 3 minutes, write,  follow the current of your thoughts with this prompt:

 

What is leadership?  REALLY, what is leadership? 

 

See where it leads you.

 

After you finish your own pondering on leadership
