Cohort Assignment | Europe Summer-Fall 2023, Cohort 1 |
1. What do you see as your primary work at this stage of your life? | Helping organizations and teams in their transformation through innovation and strategic design |
2. What role do you see as yours to play? | Helping the team in whatever comes. Playing the role of strategy co-designer by facilitating, moderating, following up, removing blockages, and gathering and analyzing data. |
3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above? | Creating a more self-governed team where people can choose their fields to develop work, and decisions rely less on the management team. |
4. Where do you feel your next arenas for personal growth are? | While 99% of the time I have a structured opinion, I know what to do next, and I can be very persuasive; many times I don't know how I feel about it. This "clarity" of the next steps alongside my personality and strong character, often makes people around me feel left out. I want to work on better blending my rational and emotional side in my day to day. |
5. And for professional growth? | Developing a more systemic understanding to approach and leveraging better the impact of my work in the more extensive systems |
6. What have you invested in to get you where you are? | Hard work would be the first, but it is built with a lot of work on preparation, self-acknowledgment of my mistakes, resilience, perseverance, challenging my ego and my impostor's syndrome, and investing in the right networking. |
7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life? | Innovation, Strategic Design, Theory U, Adaptive Leadership, facilitation, and business. |
8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it? | We are part of a system, and wherever you stretch you will stress somewhere else, meaning whatever you do to others, you will get it back in a shape or form. So you just have to be the best version of yourself and let the system be. Everything is a work in process, and you have to trust the process. |
