Stepping up to shape the direction of a social change initiative can feel exposing \u2013 you\u2019re holding lots of uncertainty so others don\u2019t have to. The Integralead Intensiveis designed to create a space where you can shed the load of your day to day engagement for a while, immerse yourself in a social context of peers from other initiatives, learn from each other aswell as our experienced trainers and experience different leadership styles first hand. You\u2019ll return home with fresh perspectives on leadership, practical tools to try out and a load of new relationships you can lean on when the going gets hard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is this for?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This training is for you if you recognize yourself in this description:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are part of an initiative or organisation for the common good. You feel (co-)responsible for the success of your initiative. Often you find yourself reducing the complexity of the experience for others by bringing proposals, helping to structure the work, pointing out risks or asking people to uphold agreements. When your initiative is not doing well you are one of the people who are likely to lose sleep. At the same time you are unsure how much power to claim in your group. Ideally you\u2019d like to work on an eye level with everyone, but it\u2019s not always easy to find ways of doing so that feel good. Sometimes you feel under a lot of pressure to bring clarity because you are one of the ones others tend to look to for orientation when the going gets hard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><i>Leadership is the collective practice of enabling each other to act for a shared purpose in the face of uncertainty.&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What you\u2019ll get&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Integralead Intensive is designed for 3 main purposes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provide a space for people like you to take a breath, reflect and learn in a relaxed environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support the forming of peer relationships across initiatives and borders, that you can lean on beyond the duration of this training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expose you to useful frameworks around leadership that can inspire your development as someone who takes responsibility for a shared vision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Topics we\u2019ll focus on this time:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leadership as 5 collective practices: telling stories, cultivating relationships, structuring teams, strategizing, facilitating action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relational Practices: how to cultivate psychological safety in your team so everyone is able to contribute fully?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Establishing a Feedback Culture: How to help each other grow more effectively?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conflict Transformation 101: What to do when mutual understanding seems impossible?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;What PRevious Participants have to say<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1920\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1080 \/ 1920;\" width=\"1080\" controls poster=\"https:\/\/civilaction.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2025-06-25-at-10.40.54.png\" src=\"https:\/\/civilaction.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immersion-Weekend-Recap-Kubra.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1920\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1080 \/ 1920;\" width=\"1080\" controls src=\"https:\/\/civilaction.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Immersion-Weekend-Recap-Laila-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1920\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1080 \/ 1920;\" width=\"1080\" controls src=\"https:\/\/civilaction.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-WAYS-INTEGRALEAD-WILL-LEVEL-UP-YOUR-GROUP.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve participated in our online training series \u201cIntegralead Essentials\u201d some of these topics may sound familiar.

In the years 2007-2015 he worked as an educator in Warsaw in a socio-therapeutic youth center for young people at risk of social exclusion. Since 2016, he has focused on creating spaces for social activation and supporting social movements through various projects using art, pedagogy and other approaches. To combine his knowledge in facilitation and political education, he co-founded the Civil Action Network. Over the years he\u2019s found that challenges in groups often arise around questions of power and leadership.

He sees that the world around us is becoming increasingly uncertain and that great leaders are those who can help others to act in the face of that uncertainty.

We really believe in creating a space of inquiry, reflection and transformation together. Those goals require more focus and people coming and leaving throughout the time doesn\u2019t support a transformative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I haven\u2019t participated in any Integralead trainings before.

We will give our best to create a level playing field at the beginning of the gathering. If you have any doubts, please let us know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does leadership have to do with grassroots groups?&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In some grassroots communities, leadership has become synonymous with outdated models of hierarchy and exclusion. People may reject concepts like \u201ctop-down leadership,\u201d meritocracy and instead champion equality, consensus, and inclusivity. While these values are vital, they can sometimes lead to environments where leadership itself is viewed with suspicion, causing a lack of structure, clarity, and shared purpose that hampers the group\u2019s potential. We understand \u201cleadership\u201d as <strong>accepting responsibility for creating conditions that enable others to achieve common goals in the face of uncertainty<\/strong>. We want to support a process of integration past oppressive leadership paradigms and emerge with a clear, grounded and skilled, developmental approach to it. In our experience this perspective on leadership is highly relevant also for grassroots groups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A full day in person leadership development deep dive for changemakers.
