What a year. What a community!
Last Thursday, we welcomed back 18 C3 community members who stepped up in co-creation with us this past year to discuss various topics related to conscious leadership.
Our panelists filled us in on their year, what themes seemed most emergent, and what they see as areas of focus and growth for the future.
Join C3 and watch the replay to see what our panelists said about:
- How the last year transformed how we build relationships, community, and corporate culture
- What change are we keeping and what are we going back to
- How the corporate landscape transformed, and how “the great resignation” threaten companies that try to go back to the way it was
- What hasn’t changed, and what change is still left ahead to make
- How can we leverage the momentum started, the waste we eliminated, and the space we created to tackle this change
- What Nick Dillon meant when he said the focus that came out of the past year was “believing beyond what’s comfortable”?
- What new opportunities, possibilities, gifts, blessings, and new purposes were created or emerged in the midst of the crises of 2020
- How we can get more intersectional
- How we take our shared experiences and share the responsibility of creating the world we want moving forward
Sharon Clinton said, “We have to continue to carry the torch that all are welcome at the table, and all voices have value.”
That’s what the C3 community was created to do! Make your voice count and join today.
A good group of new topics bubbled up for our future Answer the Call to Conscious Leadership events and ConCon 2021, which will be held virtually Friday, November 5th and Saturday, November 6th. Some of them include Unconscious Bias, Anti-fragility, Trauma Sensitivity, and Measuring Social Impact.
Join C3 and let us know what conscious leadership gaps you would like filled in the next year.
We invited our panelists to help us cover more of these topics and step further into co-creation by hosting additional monthly events. We have at least one new host. Please let us know if you, too, are willing to co-create additional monthly events, and, if you are interested in speaking at ConCon, fill out this application. Share it with speakers you know would add value to our community and invite them to C3.
At ConCon, we will be giving two awards, the Co-Creator Award, which goes to the panelist(s) of the Answer the Call to Conscious Leadership event with the most member votes, and the Conscious Leader Award. Nominate someone for the Conscious Leader Award that you feel walks the Conscious Leadership walk by exemplifying and offering:
- Authenticity
- Vulnerability
- Psychological Safety
- Awareness
- Empathy
- Accountability
Below was the final lineup of guests for our Year In Review. We are so thankful to have these amazing leaders come back to spend more time with us and to have these people in our community.
If you haven’t reached out to get to know these people and explore co-creating with them, I invite you to join the C3 community and do so, and maybe next year when we review, we will learn all about waves of conscious change you co-created.
