Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones for Transformational Leadership 

The Stepping Stones project seeks to empower leaders to experience healing as an asset and discover the impact it might have within themselves, their communities and greater society. The project introduces resilience skills and processes to enable leaders to mobilise their communities with innovative, appealing and challenge based measures to foster wellbeing  and healing both on individual and the collective levels. The project is based on a holistic learning model that combines neuro-linquistic learning progression impact on change with embodiment practices, peer-based and individual coaching, and cohort experiences to elevate collective awareness in all three human dimensions - the intellectual, physical and incorporeal (which some define as spiritual or missional). 

 

We aim to equip leaders with limited healing and wellbeing experience with knowledge, techniques and competences to examine patterns, both immediate and historical, that are impacting the connectedness and wellbeing in their cultures and communities. 

The overall aim of Stepping Stones incorporates four key dimensions: 

Benefits
Overcoming internal, cultural and societal challenges requires an alteration in leadership’s awareness and how they perceive culture.  Leaders who recognise the value of an equitable, healthy and engaged culture are more likely to invest in policies, programs and initiatives that not only promote healing and well-being but also normalise conversations about the impact of healing within their culture and discern if their  actions, policies, and initiatives contribute to a more accepting and supportive society and beyond.
 
List of benefits includes:

 
Possible Beneficiaries
Stepping Stones was designed for leaders and future leaders who are both experiencing and holding  oppressive paradigms simultaneously, whether consciously or unconsciously, but desire to understand the impact it has on their wellbeing, relationships, work, community and society.
 
These are people who are working within organisations and desire organisational change. They may be people in management positions, human resources, C-suite level, entrepreneurs, leading teams or allies who are interested in:
 

Evaluation Process

We consider it highly relevant to include a process of internal Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) to track the delivery and the effectiveness of our learning journeys. The data and internal monitoring will support an internal evaluation exercise and eventually provide proof of concept. 

Our evaluation process is based on five levels or dimensions: 

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
 
Through the process of the training, we will identify participants who might serve as potential facilitators and coaches of Stepping Stones in the future.  These candidates would be equipped with our methodologies and curriculum along with an internship to gain practical experience working with our team and participants of Stepping Stones. The aim is to form a network of leaders who have not only mastered and practice the Stepping Stones, but also become teachers to/for others to do the same in their sphere of influence. 

For those wanting to deepen their understanding of healing world work, we can recommend additional training that would build on their Stepping Stone progress.  We have relationships with Healing Histories, Process Work Institute and Flourishing Agenda certification programs which are ideal next steps to the foundation work of Stepping Stones.
