Introduction

Discrimination and exclusion are wearing heavily on the consciousness of humanity. Uprooting such practices from the fabric of society is not an easy task. Much progress has already been made, yet the road is full of difficulties and setbacks. There is no simple solution. It will require a unified and sustained effort from people from all colours and backgrounds. To address discrimination of any kind – racial, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious – we have to do this together.

We offer an introduction session on our methodology to address diversity equity and inclusion questions. These are 90 min. online 

 zoom session to introduce our capacity building approach  and to explore how it can help you and your organisation. Select the option below and you will receive a confirmation and a zoom-link.

 has developed a well-structured program called “finding the soul”. The primary objective of “finding the soul” is to give direction and meaning to the organization and build a strong foundation for unity. 

It consists of a series of workshops in which the organization’s purpose, volition, and values are made explicit by sharing stories about its history, culture, milestones, turning points, and victories. Through these stories, the essence of the company is uncovered and defined. 

During this introductory session, we will present our process, use cases and offer a Q&A about our program.

How to create shared values? How to formulate a common purpose within your organization? Meaningful conversation

Changing a culture is not ‘a rigid plan’. It is a refined learning path where each decision and each action matters. The most important thing, therefore, is to become a learning organisation. We have learnt that not one company is the same and there is no one plan for all companies. 

During this introduction session we explore how as an organisation we can align our vision and identify the first step.

Vision is the capacity to see. Developing a shared vision means to develop the capacity to see the reality and potential of the organisation together. During this introduction session we will explore how  using practices of systems thinking, help to gain a clear understanding of pressing matters in and outside the organisation and how to strategically make an impact. 

Introduction session : Building a vision of hope

Climate change triggers different responses in different people. Some people are still ignoring it. Others are close to panic or have already entered climate depression. Some take actions on a personal level, and other people try to move ‘the system.’ The clearer the magnitude of this problem becomes, the more we can get paralyzed. What is the most effective response? And how can we learn to take constructive action in the face of this crisis?Join our meaningful conversation that explores this question in these times.

Meaningful conversation : Hope

Meaningful change stems from reflection. In performance cultures, such as the legal sector, it is crucial to develop the capacity to see the potential of the organization beyond the best practices, in order to make a lasting impact. During this meaningful conversation among lawyers, we will explore different ways to create meaning and share insights on leading change in our communities.

Some form of collaboration happens in every organization, but not every organization has a collaborative culture. Effective and authentic collaboration within teams and organizations drives high performance. 

Any kind of culture shift requires time, patience and continuous reinforcement. Transforming traditionally competitive cultures into ones that foster meaningful connection and collaboration, builds commitment to work towards a common vision. In this meaningful conversation, we will explore how to create opportunities to collaborate within our organizations and share insights on making use of collective knowledge and experience.

What are our attitudes when new people join our law firm ? Do we expect them to simply fit in or does the organisation/team have to adapt to the new colleagues? What is needed to create an atmosphere where people want to stay long term?

We will explore these questions during an interactive 60min meaningful conversation.

Resilience is the ability to recover and adapt when faced with challenges. The workplace presents a different range of stressors, and as lawyers, we are expected to be resilient and agile. But does this mean that we need to develop a thick skin and always be tough? In this Meaningful Conversation we will explore different ways to be resilient, what resilience looks like in a hopeful and patient environment, and how we can help each other become more resilient.

How can we go beyond the supplier-client mode? 

If things go well, we can collaborate with everyone. But when difficulties arise, it is easy to fall back into the pitfalls of how certain relationships are commonly defined. A supplier-client relationship is such a relationship, where after periods of mutual cooperation, you can suddenly find yourself in a strained situation. A situation which is suddenly defined by paradigms such as

Introduction Agents of Change programme: addressing racial inequity​

Racial inequity is wearing heavily on the consciousness of humanity if we aspire to make the world work for 100% of humanity. It prevents many of us from living a meaningful life while humanity as a whole remains deprived of a unique contribution.

Uprooting racial inequity from the fabric of society is not an easy task. However, it is not through conflict or contest that we wish to make a change. Our approach is to develop the required capacities to engage in meaningful conversations about race and take constructive actions.

During this introduction session we will explore the link between creating a vision, hope and unlocking the will to act and how these 3 help to gain a clear understanding of pressing matters in and outside the organisation.

A meaningful conversation online  

 community is hosting a series of meaningful conversations about TRUST. All are welcome to join and explore the different topics together. You can join one or more conversations.

Conversation one: Having uncomfortable conversations

We all know about uncomfortable conversations… Those conversation that can break or strengthen relationships. They can be about small things or major themes. Recent events have brought a number of these conversations in families, friendships and workplaces.

In this conversation, we would like to explore the relationship between trust and having such uncomfortable conversations with questions such as:

Conversation two: What can I do or say to become more trustworthy to others?

Trust is a fundamental cornerstone of successful relationships. It is a quality that people value and look for in others. But instead of expecting other people to be trustworthy, what can we do to become a more trustworthy person? Questions we will explore include:

Conversation three: Rebuilding trust in the workplace

We all have been in situations where trust has been broken in the workplace, which left us paralyzed and unable to move forward. Trust may be broken due to many different reasons, such as being lied to by a colleague, having a colleague steal your idea or project, or seeing that a promise has not been kept.

In this conversation we will explore the conditions that are needed to create trust, how to rebuild a professional relationship after having distrust, and how to strengthen a culture of trust moving forward.

Let's talk about trust

 is dedicated to empowering people and organisations who wish to reshape the world through meaningful work. 

For this purpose, we have developed a systematic training programme that helps people to learn how to make their work and their lives more meaningful. This programme is called “Agents of Change”. 

If you want to learn about meaningful impact at your workplace then join us: 

Behaviour and convictions are personal and cannot be forced upon people through policies and rules. Real change comes when people raise their awareness and start to think differently about a particular subject. We call this creating a new mind. This happens when people have meaningful conversations with each other and translate their insights into action. 

When more and more people start to think and act differently in an organisation, we speak of creating a movement. This makes it possible to create new models, such as formulate appropriate policies, structures and processes in the organisation that reflect this awareness in a systematic manner. Change has become embedded as part of the culture.

The Agents of Change programme is the driving force in creating a new mind, a movement and new models. It brings about a deep change from within which is lasting and sustainable.

Action-based learning or action-based research has proven an excellent methodology in solving complex and uncertain situations. Reshaping the world through meaningful work is such a reality. The Agents of Change programme is an “action-based learning” programme. First, the participants study a particular theme or capacity together and then immediately apply these insights to the workplace. They then come together again to reflect upon their actions and learn from each other. In this way, the impact is made from the start, knowledge is being tested through experience, and actions are adjusted to the reality of the organisation.

Q&A about Soul.com

In a world with so much information, opportunities, and choices, we can easily become overwhelmed and quickly become distracted. In our conversation, we will explore what forces play in our lives and how we can develop our capacity to think calmly, remain focused, and make wise and healthy choices.

Given the importance of this topic, we will have two sessions so that we can incorporate our personal reflections in between and learn together.
