One of the main ways that complexity impacts all of us is the continuous change that we face.  

We all experience the discomfort of facing an uncertain and unpredictable future.  But in that uncertainty lies possibility; we need to reclaim a sense of agency and befriend change to capitalise on these opportunities.

Whether you are a CEO, a parent, a teacher, a student, or a call center agent ... we need to reframe how we think about change and become "fit" for it.  

• Do you feel overwhelmed and confused by all the changes we face in society, at work, and at home?  Do you often wish for a reprieve and some stability?
• Do you struggle to focus and make sense of the overwhelming information coming at you from everywhere?
• Do you feel like you don't have enough hours in the day for what you need to do?
• Do you feel called to make a difference in the world, but the problems we face seem so overwhelming you don't even know where to start?
• Do you have a sense of possibility amid all the uncertainty, but you don't know how to make the most of it? 

If so, you are not alone.  Join us, and other explorers from all over the world as we explore how we can befriend uncertainty and reclaim a sense of agency as we become more fit for this ever-changing world.

We created these offerings to enable ANYONE to become FIT to navigate continuous change and uncertainty.  We believe it starts with becoming fit for complexity, so in a way, we seek to democratize complex thinking ... because we believe the world needs people who are comfortable being uncomfortable and able to move from feeling future fatigue to having the agency to co-create a better future.  That is the only way we will thrive in this beautiful, messy, discombobulating world.

1. We acknowledge that learners come from different contexts. They need and bring different things, we, therefore, provide multiple paths, choice, and agency. 
2. We don’t believe there are ‘best practices’ for complexity fitness. Every situation is different. We honor and build on context, what others already know, and different forms of knowing.
3. We see learners as nomads traversing their personal learning networks in their own ways.  We are a community of co-learners, working to co-create wonderful and unique learning networks. 
4. We value questions and curiosity over answers and ‘being right’. 
5. We learn out loud … our aim is to enable (and be) active learners and sensemakers, not passive consumers of content.
6. Our role is not to provide answers, but to provide new language, provocative questions, and a safe container for learning.

In designing and facilitating our learning journeys, we too commit to being über COOL:

• • We Courageously enter the unknown space of learning together.  We question the Status Quo.  We mindfully navigate the creative boundary between knowing and unknowing.  We cultivate the ability to respond despite our fear, and not react mindlessly.
  • We are Open to the ambiguity of multiple perspectives, paradoxes, and questions we don’t know the answers to.  We engage difference with curiosity, not judgment.  We learn and unlearn continuously.
  • We are keen Observers.  We notice moments, patterns, our environment & our own internal responses.  Continually zooming in & out is a habit we intentionally cultivate.
  • We practice Lightness. We don’t take ourselves (or others) too seriously.  We hold our own opinions lightly.  We show up with humour.  We value beauty, non-doing, play, and imagination.

“A purposeful pause is a mini-break in the momentum and speed of our mind and our days. Purposeful Pauses give us the space to reset and re-centre, and when we do, we’re more likely to make conscious choices about our work and our activities that are productive, creative, and compassionate. A purposeful pause interrupts the fog that gathers when we’re on autopilot, pushing our way through the day. It’s not all that hard to bring about a break in the clouds and when we do, we can gain a new perspective on each moment.” - Forbes Magazine

The exponential rate of change and information overload lead to lives of ‘continuous partial attention’. In a world with ever-increasing demands of deadlines, budgets, projects, diary-juggling, family, and school, it’s a miracle we’re not all batsh*t-crazy. We might not be entirely certifiable (yet), but we’re certainly not operating optimally.

Our sustainable performance is dependent on our ability to pause, to find time to reflect and observe our world.  When we become the observer, we develop an increased ability to RESPOND rather than REACT to the demands of the external environment.  Not only are we cleverer, but we also have a positive impact on burnout and resilience.  

This ability to pause and observe is a skill, not an attitude, and needs practice.  And we should practice it as often as possible.  It is a fantasy that the long weekend and or the upcoming holiday could be our time to recover and rest.  We must find that recovery time every day.  Yes, there can be a small holiday in every day.

Hopefully you noticed the purposeful pause when you entered this website the first time. Maybe you just closed the pop-up.  Next time, embrace the power of the break. ;)
