Book

Reclaiming Our Humanity in the Workplace

What if the workplace problems we keep trying to solve are being recreated by the way work itself is designed?

In this book, we invite leaders and change-makers to question the inherited mindset and structures that treat people as replaceable cogs and nature as a commodity, driving survival behaviors and perpetuating the problems we struggle to solve.

Human-Centric Leading offers an alternative: seeing people as whole humans with inherent value and designing work to unleash our distinctly human capacities to think, create, care, collaborate and innovate.

Let's not solely imagine a better world. Let's design it by putting people first, in harmony with nature.

The Mindsets Toolkit names how mindsets are composed of three elements: thoughts, feelings and behavior and how they’re interlinked and interdependent. You learn how to identify your habitual and desired mindsets so that you show up at work representing your best self. By choosing your mindsets, you learn to shift from reacting to responding and
as a result, amplify the value you create and contribute.

The Needs Toolkit points to the invisible, internal human motivators that drive what people think, feel and do. When these universal needs are unmet, we react instinctively in a self-preservation mode instead of doing what we know is essential in any given moment. When these universal needs are met, we feel grounded and become more resourceful, therefore,  cultivating our own transformation that leads to team transformation that “sticks.”

The Wisdom Toolkit invites you to “Go to the Acropolis”
to access new perspectives and reconnect with the big picture of what's happening. With it, you can detach yourself from emotional contagion and an “I’m right, you’re wrong” mentality so that you see more options and sense what’s needed to move forward most effectively.

The Emotions Toolkit expands our emotional intelligence using an approach called, "Use your emotions as data." In doing so, we use all parts of ourselves (and mindsets), which reinforces our self-trust and self-confidence. Instead of allowing emotional drama such as tension, conflict, and resistance to block trusting and collaborative interactions, you learn to identify emotions' triggers to solve core problems instead of merely symptoms. Doing so streamlines the understanding of emotions without getting entangled by them.

Emotions
The Emotions Toolkit expands your ability to use emotions as data so that you understand all of the elements of the mindset whether it’s yours or someone else's. Instead of allowing emotional drama such as tension, conflict, resistance and pushback (that often result from the use of criticisms, judgment and blame) block collaborative interaction and trusting interactions, you learn to use emotions as data to decode which needs need to be met. Doing so streamlines the expression of emotions without getting tangled by them.
