We all want a different relationship with the work we do for our livelihood, but where might we start? What might we try? How do we do it? What if it was possible to radically transform how you work together with others? To find meaning and impact together with your peers? To consciously organise how you startup, grow, or transform your organisation? The answer is yours to discover in the what, the why, and The HOW. It’s time to practise a new kind of leadership, to interrogate hierarchy, wrangle with power and centralised decision making, and subtract ‘management’ from change management. You don’t have to wait for the future of work: we’re already broadcasting it here and now on The HOW. www.commonground.now

Affectively - The Enspiral transformation process with Hailey Cooperrider | The How
In this episode, Alícia interviews Hailey Cooperrider about the transformative process of Enspiral, focusing on action research and the importance of care and collective intelligence in organizational transformation. Hailey is a game designer, workshop facilitator, and all-around collaboration geek, with a mission to take the advanced collaboration techniques used in large organisations and spread them out to the edge. One day, while playing Dungeons and Dragons, she realised that tabletop role-playing games might hold the key to realising this goal. In 2019, she co-founded Amble Studio with four fellow adventurers to realise this big idea, and explore the borderlands between ways of working and games. This in turn led to an epic collaboration with Ben Pederick to create TAG: The Adaptation Game - a tabletop climate drill. Hailey and her fellow Amblers regularly share their serious game journey on The Amble Podcast. To know more about Hailey you can visit her work here: https://amble.studio/

Affectively - Why our collectives hurt us with Sarah Durieux | The HOW
In this episode of "Affectively" on The How, Alícia talks to French activist Sarah Durieux. Sarah shares her insights on activism, emphasising the importance of community organising, emotional engagement, and the need for healthy relationships within activist spaces. She critiques the dominant culture's influence on activism and advocates for a new approach that values the process of activism over mere outcomes. Sarah introduces the archipelago model of organising, which promotes decentralised collaboration among activist groups, and highlights the necessity of healing trauma within collective spaces to foster resilience and solidarity. Note from Alícia: in a moment of the recording I say "I translated this", obviously, I mean I translated the title, not the whole book...sadly! This episode opens up a new series, in this case, still strongly related to Affectively, but additionally "This is Political" - every now and then we are going to make more obvious links between the importance of organising and our political context. 🔎 Learn more at https://www.greaterthan.works 👍 Please like and share 🔔 Subscribe ⚡️ What spoke to you today?
