I work with people and groups to access our collective intelligence by:
• Forming a transition team:
Who are the pepple in our lives that we can call on to support us with things such as our immediate and on-going safety, accountability and transformation of behaviors, or individual and collective healing and resiliency?
• Holding frequent and intentional check ins:
For reflection and connection and to surface
and include multiple voices.
• Paying attention to our inner landscape:
This includes our emotions, mindsets, feelings, competencies, and blockages in order to align with our outer actions and decision-making process.
• Integrating creative practices:
Such as conversation, meditation, reflection, cooking together, journaling, and movement, to
access different kinds of perspectives and intelligence and to enhance group
cohesion and mutual support. We develop environments for re-awakening our creativity, humanity, and capacity to build and grow.
My Experience:
At the height of the pandemic, I consulted with 20 hospitals across the nation and over 1,000 healthcare workers and social service providers on burnout and moral injury. My work focused on individual and collective care as we redefined resiliency through the arts, movement, mindfulness, and play.
The overwhelming response? Healthcare workers quit their jobs. But most working people can’t opt-out of our jobs. How do we hold our humanity as we continue to work in systems that do not serve us?
The correct response to moral injury is not more resiliency modules. My work quickly shifted to workplace advocacy, supporting the development of relationships that enable people to make bolder decisions in their lives.
