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.
Manage Strategic Change
Finding patterns across many stories isn't easy, and it is often misleading. Active Sensemaking automates the process and also ensures that the patterns stay true to the tellers' intentions.
When is a change a real change? When it is a paradigm shift!
The term "paradigm shift" gets tossed around. Its meaning has become more and more hazy since 1962, when Thomas Kuhn first applied the term to The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (University of Chicago Press, 2012).
In this short video, Glenda Eoyang explores four signs of a true paradigm shift. She looks for those signs in human systems dynamics and other complexity-informed disciplines in social sciences. In the process, she explains why teaching complexity is often much more difficult than understanding it.
Build Adaptive Capacity
Radical Inquiry is a process of reflection and exploration that helps you build system-wide clarity and coherence. As you become clearer about the patterns you want, you find ways to engage with others and your environment to set conditions to influence the emergence of those patterns. It's a process of looking deeply into the roots of a system to identify actions that can bring you to best fit.
Teaching & LearningLead in Complexity
When we work in schools, we work to explain how complex systems work, and we engage in dialogue with people in the system to identify the patterns coherent with their shared identity, tasks, priorities, and practices. As a result of this deep dive into exploring their patterns, educators then identify options for action to generate and sustain the patterns they want to see.

What can you do to help yourself and your team leverage the stress you feel into creative tension you can use?
