Evolving collaborative capacieties, within different parts of an organization, different members of an industry/sector, and different sectors in a lifeshed.

I´m entering a new phase of my life, evolving towards a Grandmother role, not only literaly but also metaphoricaly (as understood by the ancient traditions).

3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above?

I aim to design a program that could host the evolution of collaborative capacities of individuals, and organizations around a higher common regenerative purpose.

4. Where do you feel your next arenas for personal growth are?

Evolving my own paradigm and collaborative capacity..

5. And for professional growth?

Deepen my comprehension of the regenerative paradigm,
Having a better grasp as to what it means at the purpose level (what can we envision together, how do we ), at the systems and process level (what shift is needed, what new capacities need to exist), at the agreements/beliefs level (what prinicples/beliefs guide our actions), and how does it all keep flowing to keep the system alive and thriving.

6. What have you invested in to get you where you are?

My whole life and beeing!.
36, 34, 32 years experience as a Mother learning from my 3 children.
40 year work experience (8 as a neurolinguist and psycopedagogue, in the special education field, and 25 as an entrepreneur and leader of a plastics manufacturing organization evolving the business vision and culture, as I evolved as a leader in the paradigm from which I did my work )

7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life?

Ecosynomics.

8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it?

Difficult to summarize but will try.
I believe the gist of life is the evolution of consciousness at the systemic level, which is inevitably tied to the evolution of every living being (water, air, fire and ground included) in it. I believe we are part of an evolving system with many levels of reality coexisting. I sense we play a unique role in its evolution and are in the process of discovering what that role truly is.
