Individuals create political patterns for themselves and others. At the same time, the political patterns force individual choices and behaviors. That’s part of the complexity of living and working in complex systems. Whether you work with an underperforming employee, transform corporate culture, or advocate for social justice, you must understand the nature of emergent patterns before you can shift them.
In this session, you will learn about powerful, destructive patterns that emerge in complex systems. At the same time, you’ll discover ways to understand and influence them as your future unfolds.

Many people talk about diversity and inclusion. Too often those conversations don’t influence action in real life. What if you give up seeing “problems” of diversity? What if you learned to create “patterns” of inclusion?
Adaptive Action and Pattern Logic help you understand patterns of bias, so you can create generative patterns of engagement.

Self-care is a walk in the woods. It’s the brisk movement of my feet touching the soil and the soft wind caressing on my skin. It’s the sun on my face and the view from each vista I reach. It’s the feeling of enchantment with the natural world. It’s the conversations I have with you along the way. It is in the way we share and listen to each other, and in the encouragement we give as we walk the trail of life.

In the day-to-day challenges of life, we sometimes get caught up in the urgency of the moment, the fear of the future, and regrets of the past. We lose the connections between and among the parts of our life. Each piece begins to stand alone in its impact and challenge.
In HSD we offer a path that allows you to celebrate your life’s experiences:
Remain present to the daily demands and the larger realities that create the whole of your life
Live in the now, with an eye to the future
Remain aware of how today builds the life you want
Watch this webinar to learn about games we all play that can hold us hostage to today or help us move through today’s challenges as we connect to our greater goals in life.
