Leadership development via Center for Social Impact

Today I attended the Center of Social Impact session on:

Risktaking and Prototyping Professional Learning Session


By Louise Marra from Leadership New Zealand http://www.leadershipnz.co.nz/louise-marra/

I was lucky enough to be able to attend for free as part of the Foundation North's provision for the PETER Collective. Along with me were follow collective team members Manawa and Honey.

Why Should We take RISK?

We started with I wish.... I fear.... I know..... I dont know
I reflected on these sentence starters and came up with the following.

I wish that the education system valued failures as part of the risk taking
I fear that students don't get to fail safely
I know that prototyping and design thinking is a normal part of risk taking
I don't know how to explain this (concept) to others yet

Key WORDS:
Recovering perfectionists, culture of "get it right the first time", failure and success, Risk taking, learning edge

Introduction notes:
Risk taking is actually counter cultural and being able to take risks is a privilege and in a position so that when the supportive factors allows those risks that could be taken safely. Alternatively there is also the paradox, that some risk takers are forced to take risk as well i.e some people are desperate and therefore their innovation is made out of necessity.

Lets innovate from within:

What are the paradigms are we changing?
EGO (little islands of perfection) moving towards a ECO model i.e ecological and creating a new way of seeing eg known plan to fast fails. An example of this was the shift in the social sector becoming more competitive based on the government funding model and the need to based it all on performance outcomes.

Don't live the same life 75 times and call it life! Robin Sharma

Reflective questions:
What is our self perception of our vulnerability?
Can I accept my self and let others truth sit with them?
What Paradigms are we in?
What might we want to change?
How do we move towards love?
What do we need to risk ourselves with>
What do we do with learning?
