‘Growth is the stupidest of goals, it’s not a a goal, it’s a means of going somewhere but where do you want to go? Growth of what, for whom, + how long + at what cost to others. Nothing in nature grows forever + well’ @KateRaworth
We are all tiny nodes on the big map of things that will in their own ways move us forward, but if the micro connections between those nodes don’t have relationship, love, trust, collective general direction. Other stuff fills those gaps.
I was reminded this morn that everything is energy. The more you focus on something, the more energy you feed it, the more it will grow - whether it's through love, fear or hate.
My little intention for today:
To focus my attention and energy on things I wish to grow ♥️🌱

Pop into @__TheFrontRoom this week between 1100 - 1430 for lunch, fruit, hot chocolate, cake, books + activities. We’d love to see you or a neighbour who might not see this, whether you pop in for one sarnie to take home or hang out with us all week.
💛
Here is the current spec - there's additional documentation and context which we can share with genuinely interested people (we're very open!).

Hello community of #culture#inclusion & #people lovers 👋♥️
SO excited - @TeamVanti are looking for a People & Culture Champion, to take on what is currently a very magical team & make things even better! 🪄
I've written a not-so-concise job spec BUT I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY 😬👇
@megalightheart This is literally magic - so so perfect and I'm SO excited for you!! You are going to totally rock this and bring so much love to something that's very needed! ♥️♥️♥️
Lastly, I feel equal measures of fomo and pride for not being involved in putting this together.
Mostly fomo... 🤷♀️🙂
Huge thanks to @riaface for holding the space to pull this together with @TeamVanti 🤗 🧡
⚠️honest feelings:
I'm sad we didn't do this 2 years ago when working with @megalightheart.
I'm so glad we've invested the time to work through it properly now.
This isn't a HR dept thing. The ppl responsible for driving & shaping this represent all areas @Vanti, which I ♥️...
After George Floyd's murder on 25/5/2020, we realised we needed to do more to actively tackle racism.

... I'm excited that we're focused on real change; to seek the help and wisdom from as many people as possible - because we still know very little.
I'm keen to share our learnings (most likely all the F-ups) with other businesses who want to grow profitably AND inclusively.
Pretty sure @MastinKipp is becoming my new best audiobook friend.
"Claim Your Power" is *just* what I've needed to hear.
Recommend for anyone who feels stuck or relying on survival patterns such as distraction, addiction, perfectionism, procrastination, needing approval...
@AliceMEvans Happy to share how we're applying it to @TeamVanti in real time? Taken tonnes of inspiration from the book, but making it our own.
I was also inspired and encouraged by lots of stuff in: "the systems view of life: a unifying vision" 👌
@AliceMEvans Highly recommend reinventing organizations (get the illustrated version for a quicker read) - lots in here about decentralised structures (that work in real life) and non-hierarchcal leadership
