This month’s Answer the Call to Conscious Leadership event topic focused on Detaching from Outcomes. The more I thought about this topic, chosen by the C3 community as usual, the more questions arose.

In my quest to secure a panelist to join Doc Cunningham, I spoke with many people with diverse perspectives on this topic, founded on their personal experience. I represented their perspectives by proxy, though I knew Doc was going to provide his own, and in doing so, would open up a whole slew of new ways to see it. He certainly delivered!

If you’re a conscious leader looking for a community that shares your values, hop in the C3 community today! Once you’re a member, you can watch the full replay of last week’s event.

We discussed:

✷ What does outcome detachment mean?

✷ Who or what is impacted if we do or don’t detach?

✷ How does this show up in our work and relationship?

✷ How can outcome detachment be done concurrently to KPIs and metrics related to corporate goals, or does it, by nature, require the absence of those things?

✷ What are the two primary qualities that seem inherent in detachment, and what is the opposite?

✷ How can we balance detaching from outcomes while creating alignment along our journey?

✷ Without measuring outcomes, how can we measure success?

✷ How can outcome detachment and accountability co-exist?

✷ Is it a journey or a destination?

✷ How can one maintain focus without becoming attached to outcomes?

✷ How can we engage our three human assets (calling, purpose, and passion) to promote growth?

You’ll also learn Doc’s amazing analogy to GPS navigation as it relates to outcome detachment.

I would have loved to have continued this conversation for at least another 30 minutes to talk about the scientific method, and the necessity and standard in the scientific community, where publications are peer-reviewed, to detach from the outcome in proving a hypothesis. How much could we really trust science if we did? How could it be nuanced to suit various cultures?

This certainly proved to be a thought-provoking exploration of outcome detachment. I’d love to keep the conversation going by hearing what you think about it.
