EP 142: Theory U & Social Transformation | Otto Scharmer, PhD

In this Radical Responsibility podcast, I chat with Dr. Otto Scharmer, Senior Lecturer at MIT and co-founder of the Presencing Institute. We chat about accessing our own agency to transform society and finding hope in the presence of the human spirit.We also discuss:-​​​The amazing awakening as seen in Ukraine, and how “awareness-based collective action” has created hope for transformation-How to attend to challenges by activating our own agency, and finding ways in which to move from “ego-system” awareness to eco-system awareness-How self-care can help us be less reactive and exhausted and more resilient in relation to the complex and disruptive challenges that lay ahead-A way forward for re-building social connection and exposing the mechanisms (dark money and tech) that are creating anger, outrage, and fear
