From Atlas to Gaia: Resources for resilience

Lynn — Thu, 01 May 2025 23:55:53 +0000

You are invited to be in community in a beautiful seaside rainforest and resource yourself for this critical time. Many of the things on which we assumed we could rely have been shifting or crumbling around us. The pace of technology, the multiplicity of information channels, a barrage of news can threaten our capacity to absorb, process, and respond. In the face of so much information…

The Wheel of Awareness

Lynn — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 18:44:02 +0000

The Wheel of Awareness is one of those very simple models that can be the practice of a lifetime — a practice I have found immensely valuable in better understanding myself and others. Essentially, it’s a method of separating our experiences into their components: Our perceptions of what happened, the thoughts we have about it, the associated emotions, our desires for ourselves and others…

The practice of change

Lynn — Thu, 22 Jun 2023 13:59:09 +0000

When you look back at the major changes you’ve made or wanted to make in your life or organization, how does the outcome you wanted to achieve compare with what actually happened? There are, of course, many unpredictable variables that play into those eventual outcomes. When we begin a change journey, we can’t anticipate everything that will happen as it unfolds. And yet who we are and what we…

Not a moral judgement

Lynn — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 13:14:37 +0000

Many of us in the western, industrialized, educated, rich, democratic (WIERD) world have a tendency to speak of change as if it’s generally desirable. We value persistence and malign resistance. I noticed this attitude sneak into my last note post. And this is something else I very much appreciate about Virginia Satir’s model — that she explicitly recognizes that change is not inherently good or…

Embracing the unknown

Lynn — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 13:51:55 +0000

The first challenge in making a change is that whatever change we want or need to make is not just an external event. Our way of seeing ourselves and relating to our environment also has to change. The next challenge is that once that change happens, we enter the unknown. William Bridges calls this place The Neutral Zone. Virginia Satir calls it Chaos. In this place, we have lost the familiar…

Our immunity to change

Lynn — Thu, 25 May 2023 17:34:07 +0000

Why is change so hard? What can we do to make it easier? And should we? In 1978, systems family therapist Virginia Satir identified a process of change, developed from her years of family therapy work, that provides valuable insights into these questions; insights that complement and enhance the many business change management theories that have been developed since. Last week…

Why we don’t change

Lynn — Fri, 19 May 2023 16:30:35 +0000

Having worked for over a decade with models such as William Bridges’ Transitions and ProSci’s ADKAR, I have considered myself quite fluent in the language of change management. But a month ago over dinner, a neighbour, friend, art teacher, illustrator, and lawyer (now retired) introduced me to Virginia Satir’s process of change — and I found I still have a lot to learn. Virginia Satir was a…
