The US is grappling with multiple crises that disproportionately affect young people. Check out the transformational work my client —National Collaborative for Transformative Youth Policy — is doing by partnering with youth to take active roles in shaping policies that affect their lives and futures. Give them a follow to stay up to date on the powerful work they are doing! #youth #leadership #advocacy #socialjustice #transformative #policy

I am off to Boston for the 61st Annual Association of Family and Conciliation Court (AFCC) Conference. I get to present with superstars Jenni McBride McNamara, MA, LMFT and Jen Joseph. We are having a little fun with a serious topic about asserting leadership when multiple professionals work with complex family dynamics in family court. This is an amazing conference held annually which offers the latest research on serious issues confronting families and impacting children. Yes, Chef! Balancing Leadership and Coordination in the Family Court Kitchen Parties in family court encounter numerous professionals whose roles are to help the family transition away from conflict. How these professionals work together can have an impact on families. This workshop will help practitioners: (1) recognize their role in the multiple systems in which they operate; (2) share information effectively and appropriately with other members of the system; (3) address issues within the “uber-system” before they derail the family’s work; and (4) identify when how the practitioner can assert leadership in the “uber-system” regardless of the practitioner’s role.

We all have biases. How we get better is by identifying and speaking about our differences. Check out this video from the Capitol Area Michigan Works! https://lnkd.in/giwChrjQ

I read this somewhere which hit me harder. and yes this will hit you too👉 " Kyu bhai ladkiya kyu sikhe self defence? Tu jaake apna self control sikh!!! " Is it correct or not? What's your "RAAI"(thoughts) on this?? __________________________________________ 💡 My thoughts about this image... 📌 Safety shouldn’t be about limiting the freedom of women but about changing the behavior of men. 📌 Let’s shift the conversation from “How can we protect our daughters?” to “How can we raise our sons/brothers to be the kind of men who ensure everyone feels safe?” 🔴 You know what... The real issue isn’t what women do or don’t do—it’s how men are raised and educated. Instead of telling our daughters to live in fear, we need to focus on teaching our sons/brothers about respect, consent, and accountability. It’s not enough to protect our daughters, we must educate our sons to ensure they don’t become the problem. Share your thoughts on this. Follow 🌸KUSUM . for more

It's very clear that #sociocracy needs to be combined with other methods to be successful - not every issue can be solved with governance. And governance itself is interrelated and interconnected with all our other systems. That's why we're excited to have this talk on non-punitive harm responses. Things don't always go as intended - but then what? More about their talk: How do we address harm and practice peer based accountability within decentralized organizations? Spring Up is an abolitionist collective of liberatory facilitators and consultants. We use Sociocracy internally, and support organizations in building accountability and feedback mechanisms (and, if they're open to it, implementing Sociocracy!). We will share about the Conflict and Harm, Access, and Community circles we have experimented with to build a preventative and caring infrastructure for harm, as well as lessons from our mediation and consulting. This will be an interactive skill and story sharing presentation with lots of space for questions and resource sharing with participants. Come join us to learn about our experiments and share your own! Hear their talk at the 7th Annual Sociocracy Conference on May 16. https://lnkd.in/dykU9Tcs Program: https://lnkd.in/eSvgCxit

"Dismantling Structural Racism in Organisational Systems." An excellent paper. Resonates from start to (un)finish! A few excerpts: “There is no fixed recipe; each context requires different approaches. This is messy work. There will be failures. These call for humility and a commitment to ongoing learning. Sometimes failure is exactly what is needed to crack things open, including ourselves.” “...we know that the work of dismantling structural racism involves courageously uncovering the systemic roots and origin stories of an organisation, towards co-creating a healthy deep purpose, using power with growing awareness, working to redistribute power in meaningful ways, and unleashing creative expressions of an organisational culture where everyone finds belonging.” “We consider four elements as necessary to set organisational systems on this path towards dismantling structural racism… 1. Convening and enrolling members of an organisation into active commitment to change  2. Engaging people in compelling processes to build awareness  3. Institutionalising structural change and  4. Navigating cultural change “…in practice all four aspects are interconnected and woven into the  overall experience in a nonlinear fashion that welcomes emergence and adaptation.” “Although mainstream organisational norms are shaped by white supremacy culture, the radical call is to imagine new practices, institutional forms and new ways of living that are wholesome and just for all people and the planet we live on.” “In the process, there is much potential to kindle meaning, joy, and connection, remembering those parts of ourselves (individually and collectively) that have been made to feel unwelcome. We warmly encourage your work towards greater wholeness and justice in your organisations.” YES!!! Structural racism reflects an impoverished, chunked-down version of what it means to be (fully) human. This “work” invites us to to embrace our human-ness potential, enlivening, enriching and benefiting us all - humanity AND our living planet. The blatant and often insidious patterns of colonization, exclusion, injustice and othering are ingrained in many ways, over many years. Rethinking, reframing perspectives, shifting the ways we behave - consciously choosing how we want to be wherever we show up - is an ongoing life-long learning journey…ALL of us enrolled in “the school of life… Engaging “wisely” within our organizations, across multiple contexts AND from “the spaces between” - a deep, rich messy explorative interbecoming process. We can all be unstitutional...building bridges...bridging divides, “living into” deep-rooted systemic change and life-affirming patterns. 🙏 💙 Bravo Rebecca Freeth, Akanimo Andrew Akpan and Mahmood Sonday! And thanks Adam Kahane for your longstanding commitment and contributions to understand, extend and amplify our inherent (natural) capacity for “radical collaboration.” #messyhumanness #unimpossible #wisdomwithteeth

Listen to Rebecca Dixon share how jobs and the structure of the labor market shape our lives, society, and democracy. Her blend of wisdom and practical insights point the way to what must be done to build a world where all can flourish. TY Anum Qadir and the The Bridgespan Group team for bringing this to us. Anum Qadir: "What is something considered radical that should not be?" Rebecca Dixon: "That every human has dignity..." Yes. Just, yes. Listen. https://lnkd.in/g2ajnB7U
