Discounts available through April 10, 2009
=A0 =A0 =A0 To: Sheila Damodaran <dmsl@...>
Dear Sheila,I'm sure you've quoted these words yourself or heard=20=20
them at one time or another:
"TOTO, I'VE A FEELING WE'RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE."
Dorothy Gale (to Her Dog Upon Finding Herself In Oz) In /The Wizard Of Oz/
When I'm feeling a little unnerved by the degree of change and=20=20
uncertainty these days, I'm reminded of this favorite childhood story.=20=20
For me, Dorothy's journey from Kansas to the land of Oz and back was=20=20
simultaneously a terrifying and empowering adventure, best negotiated=20=20
in good company with genuine curiosity.
In the spirit of this story, we invite all aspiring sustainability=20=20
champions to join us in Portland, Oregon in May to improve our=20=20
individual and collective ability to effectively promote intelligence,=20=20
compassion and courage in our organizations, and the larger systems of=20=20
which we are all part. Based on Peter Senge's new book, /The Necessary=20=20
Revolution/[9], LEADING & LEARNING FOR SUSTAINABILITY will=20=20
incorporate not only the ideas from the new book but will also feature=20=20
some of the revolutionaries themselves. (See the attached brochure or=20=20
download if from the SoL website.[10]) IF YOU REGISTER AT OUR=20=20
PUBLISHED RATES BY THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 3RD, GET 2 FREE NIGHTS AT THE=20=20
HOTEL MONACO DURING THE WORKSHOP; IF YOU REGISTER BY NEXT FRIDAY,=20=20
APRIL 10TH, YOU'LL STILL GET 1 FREE NIGHT AT THE HOTEL. Just mention=20=20
"OZ" on your registration form.
Why is this worth your time and money? Most organizations are in=20=20
the early part of a journey from reducing unsustainability to=20=20
increasing sustainability - there's lots of low-hanging fruit waiting=20=20
for someone to harvest it. HERE ARE SEVEN CONCRETE BENEFITS OF=20=20
EMBRACING LEADERSHIP IN A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY. Savvy internal=20=20
advocates recognize these realities. And their cross sector=20=20
counterparts become better partners when they understand that:
* There is significant money to be saved.
* There is significant money to be made.
* You can provide your customers with a competitive edge.
* Sustainability is a point of differentiation.
* You can shape the future of your industry.
* You can become a preferred supplier.
* You can change your image and brand.
But there's more. The Leading & Learning for Sustainability=20=20
workshop[11] will incorporate many of the basic learning disciplines=20=20
and deepen their relevance for the world in which organizations=20=20
operate today. In particular, we will see how systems thinking tools=20=20
can be used to help people "see" the larger systems of which they're a=20=20
part, how the work on mental models and dialogue is providing a new=20=20
underpinning for innovative collaborations across diverse=20=20
organizational boundaries. Lastly, personal mastery and the creative=20=20
orientation help shift our orientation from being "less bad" to truly=20=20
creating organizations, value chains, industries, and communities that=20=20
align with our deepest aspirations.
We have five goals for participants in this session:
* Balance between initiating and sustaining systemic change in the=20=20
long-term and building momentum and taking action in the short-term.
* Appreciate the interdependence of interior development with=20=20
external action to effectively produce system change.
* Develop more capacity for resilience, compassion and creativity=20=20
in the face of opposition and indifference.
* Clarify your own personal vision.
* Have new insights about opportunities you can act on immediately.
A participant in our February program summed it up this way: /"The=20=20
course offered me a very welcome break to reflect on my personal=20=20
leadership, be inspired and meet a great group of bright, engaged and=20=20
open people. I gained a deeper appreciation for the dynamics of=20=20
systems thinking and the application of a systemic view on=20=20
sustainability which will allow me to take higher leverage actions in=20=20
working on complex challenges in my organization."/
Please consider joining us in Portland in May. We encourage you to=20=20
attend with a colleague, and to pass this invitation on to others. If=20=20
you are not able to attend now, but are interested in future sessions,=20=20
please let me know. Our next scheduled session will be on November=20=20
18-20 in Washington, DC. If you'd like to talk to someone about this=20=20
session or anything else related to SoL, please contact me or Frank=20=20
Schneider[12] (+1 (617) 300-9535) at SoL.

(no cost!) to his blog[13] on SoL's website. (Use the RSS feature of=20=20
your web browser so that you can be automatically informed of new=20=20
postings.)
At the end of the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy discovers that she could=20=20
only take the step home because of what she learned on her journey. We=20=20
hope that you will find SoL and its many offerings a good occasion for=20=20
practice, companionship and insight on your journey to realize your=20=20
heart's desires. So many people like you tell me: there's just no=20=20
