Disruptive situations, which break us out of ‘Who We Are’ – our normal routines, our normal ways of relating, our webs of significance and commitments – can create an opportunity for increasing connectedness.
Real disruption, which is a core challenge to identity (personal and/or organisational), results in an experience of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity). VUCA is highly stressful: the places that were safe no longer seem safe, the things we knew are now unknown, the things we relied on are no longer reliable, the obvious is now questionable.
Disruption creates vulnerability.
Stress, where a person and/or an organisation is well resourced and feels confident, is an engine for creativity and innovation.
Stress, where a person and/or organisation is under-resourced and feels doubt, is an engine for paralysis and entrenchment.
Participants will go on a journey through which they will gain an understanding of ‘disruption’, ‘identity’ and ‘stress’. And then they will learn how the stress of disruption can be oriented, through the rediscovering of meaning and purpose, towards ‘resilience’.
Curiosity grows from the soil of resilience, and curiosity is the key to the lock of connectedness.
This workshop will provide attendees with a new perspective towards disruption and its potential relationship to curiosity.
