This training is for you if you recognize yourself in this description: <\/p>\n
- \n
- You are part of an initiative or organisation for the common good.<\/li>\n
- You feel (co-)responsible for the success of your initiative.<\/li>\n
- 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.<\/li>\n
- When your initiative is not doing well you are one of the people who are likely to lose sleep.<\/li>\n
- 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.<\/li>\n
- 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Leadership is the collective practice of enabling each other to act for a shared purpose in the face of uncertainty. <\/i><\/p>\n
What you\u2019ll get <\/strong><\/h3>\n
The Integralead Intensive is designed for 3 main purposes: <\/p>\n
- \n
- Provide a space for people like you to take a breath, reflect and learn in a relaxed environment<\/li>\n
- Support the forming of peer relationships across initiatives and borders, that you can lean on beyond the duration of this training<\/li>\n
- 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
Topics we\u2019ll cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Leadership as 5 collective practices: telling stories, cultivating relationships, structuring teams, strategizing, facilitating action.<\/li>\n
- Scales of Collaboration: what are groups of different sizes good for and what do they need to function well?<\/li>\n
- Minimum Viable Structure: How much structure is just enough, but not too much?<\/li>\n
- Shared rhythms: How do we settle into a shared rhythm as a team, to reduce scheduling overhead and make sure we spend time on the things that really matter?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you\u2019ve participated in our online training series \u201cIntegralead Essentials\u201d some of these topics may sound familiar. It\u2019s worth joining the in person training anyway – we\u2019ll dive deeper in to each of them during the Intensive. If you haven\u2019t participated in the online training, don\u2019t worry – there\u2019s no pre-requisites to joining.<\/p>\n
In our participatory and experiential learning approach our main priority is to meet you and all participants where you\u2019re at and shape the experience together with you. You\u2019ll have a chance to contribute with your own knowledge and experience as well as shape the direction of the training by asking for what you are most interested in.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\nJonas Gr\u00f6ner is a professionally trained and certified leadership coach, community-builder, and facilitator strongly committed to the regenerative paradigm. He\u2019s been working in self-organized contexts from permaculture farms to start-ups, co-ops, and non-profits for the past 10 years and is passionate about supporting people with a vision for a world that works for all life, to find ways of putting that vision into action by cultivating resilient relationships, networks and communities. 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.<\/p>\n
