Nourishing the Professional Self: Working from Essence

A Genuine Contact Exploration

As professionals who help people to organize getting things done in better ways, it can sometimes be pretty tough to keep going. Almost inevitably, at some point, we will all experience a ‘dark night of the soul’, where nothing we’re doing seems to be working, nothing is changing, and we’re finding it hard to even still care...

And yet, we continue to find ways to show up again and again with the energy to inspire others, the patience to step back and see what emerges, the wisdom to understand what’s happening, and the strength to continue learning - and helping others to learn - truly valuable lessons from the whole experience.

One of the things that can nourish and restore us in these moments is uncovering, connecting to, and exploring the essence of our work, and drawing from the deep well of what really matters to us.

At this meetup, you will be offered an opportunity to experience how some of the methods and tools of the Genuine Contact approach can add value to your professional and personal life, by explicitly working on the ‘essence’ that drives you: your deeper perspectives, beliefs, and principles; and the conduct and attitudes that they require.

You will come away with:

• An understanding of Genuine Contact as an approach
• Experience of a participatory meeting method
• Experience of working with one Genuine Contact tool applied to your own situation
• The potential to adapt pieces of what you are learning into your own practice
• Information on how to learn more about the Genuine Contact approach.
