Business managers are splitting the reality and then trying to manage this self-created separateness. Since separateness is unnatural, it requires a lot of effort. What supports relationships is working with the oneness. Since organisations are just relationships between people, this also supports organisations. Since oneness is natural, there is no effort.
Leaders Forum is a learning process from separateness to oneness.
Our motto: Making a world of a difference by me making a difference in my world.
Our values: Respect, Trust, Presence
Our goal: To develop our presence of mind. To find new perspectives and ways to think. To understand what motivates me and others.
10 interesting questions we want to talk about:
- We play a number of different roles. Is the role ruling me or am I ruling the role?
- We can live by our own and/or others expectations of us. Whose expectations am I choosing to live by? Who created the expectations and why? Are they appropriate for me to live by now?
- “When I'm stressed I think of butterflies and the stress goes. They can fly because they take themselves lightly”, said one member. Why do I take life so seriously? Is seriousness a health hazard? What is seriousness and how can I lessen it?
- What gives me JOY? What is my dream? Why don’t I do more of that? Why don’t I do only that?
- How does co-creation happen? How can I help it to happen, at work and in my life?
- How do I turn what interests me into my work? How am I connecting what is meaningful for me into my life? What is my mission statement? What am I doing? What is working? What is not working? Why?
- Is it true, that by being well one is better able to do well and, does doing well mean creating life-supporting value and increased wellbeing? What is the wellbeing I am creating in my life and in my work, and how well am I doing that?
- Do we transfer problems from one area of our lives to other areas in our lives? If we do, where is the "real" problem?
- What do I fear and how can I let the fear go?
- Who am I, essentially? If I take off everything that isn’t really me, what’s left? Would that be enough, would that be all that I need?

Great work Pekka! I think this forum definitely belongs to the category "Great Work" for all of us, at least for me. It will be exiting to see what comes out of this blog.
ReplyDeletePekka, your questions are very important. As I read the 'Wisdom of Yoga', I better understand the importance of 'looking in the mirror'. I've always emphasized 'looking in the mirror' together, which I consider essential for intercultural understanding. After reading those questions and reflecting back on some very meaningful Learners Forum's opportunities to look in the mirror together, I start to better understand the importance of both ways to look in the mirror. As I reread the text above, I realized that my fingers wanted to emphasize my learning experience, which I appreciate very much.
ReplyDeleteLearners Forum... I like that! Thank you, Mike.
