Leadership Support

Social Presencing for leadership provides mindfulness and awareness practices intentionally designed for leaders who are called on to remain responsive in an ever-changing landscape. These methods train the muscle of attention and tap into our curiosity, compassion, and courage — so that we can also do so in more challenging times.

All profound systems change calls for leaders who turn toward the problem rather than turn away out of fear, anger, or ignorance. We need leaders who are able to remain present with disruption.

At the root of this quality of leadership is the ability to pay attention to our attention; to see through our own habits, patterns, prejudices, etc.; to stay grounded and steady amidst turbulence; and to embody the openness and heartfeltness needed to affect wider ecosystems transformation, as well as co-create systems for the well-being of all.

As Bill O’Brien, former CEO of Hanover Insurance, said: “The success of an intervention depends on the interior condition of the intervenor.”

Cultivating this interior condition takes practice. And practice means something we do every day in order to strengthen a particular capacity, much like regular exercise routines to strengthen particular muscles.
