Less Is MOre
Whether you are already a Degrowth advocate or you have never heard of the term, we value it and are equipped to help you slow down to speed up. Even if we decarbonized the world’s energy today, we’d still be living outside of planetary boundaries and on the verge of various collapses. Ending planned obsolescence, restoring the commons and our global ecology, rehumanizing, and decolonizing all have a place in our individual and collective pursuits.
How can you seek funding that won’t demand hypergrowth to deliver the expected returns? What limits to growth can you set that will protect your professional ecosystem? What slowness will it take to fully recognize and nurture the humanity of your team and yourself?
Grief is Normal
Loss happens to us and around us all the time. It has a rhythm in the flow of life that is ever-present and yet it still surprises us. With grief and death literacy improving across cultures, it’s easier and more important than ever to give care and attention to both immediate and distant losses in our personal and professional lives.
What can we learn from our mistakes, and what will you do to ensure it is learned? How will your team survive collective losses with resilience and support? How long can you ignore the grief of missed targets and other professional losses? What does your personal loss have to do with your relationships and professional trajectory?
Repair is Possible
Systems fail us, and yet they can be improved. We make mistakes, and yet we can make amends. Relationships among people, models, and data deserve an opportunity to be repaired.
Why was my apology not accepted? I’ve forgiven—why can’t I forget? Why don’t my good intentions convince my colleague not to feel wronged? When will I stop returning to the same situations for people to get offended at something I say? How can I keep working with my boss if they won’t confess to the harm they’ve done to me?
