Stewardship

Collective Transitions offers hands-on, engaged, and customized solutions for leaders and organizations working at the forefront of social innovation and systems change. We help you navigate challenging and delicate dynamics to both achieve your goals for the systems you engage with, and your own leadership development. 

In a stewardship, we provide care for the whole by paying attention to the multiple aspects of a system, issue or organization and their relationships to one another. We help clients find points of leverage –– where shift is possible or tension can be released and/or where restorative moments or connections can be made. We work with you to create and cultivate the right preconditions for the work to succeed. 

The interconnected four spheres framework is our compass for creating long-lasting, transformation and collective change. By reconnecting with nature, becoming aware of patterns created by our cultural inheritance, developing ways of navigating complexities, and creating collaborative learning spaces, we enable clients to reach their full potential.

Organizational Crisis Management

As the leader or member of a team or organization, you may find yourself “lost at sea,” or at a point of breakdown where operations shift into survival mode. Collective Transitions will work alongside you, like another boat bringing stability, orientation, and buoyancy so you and your organization can navigate to “calmer waters.”

Using our System Sensing approach and other tools, we help you to better orient in the unknown; understand and shift current and deeply ingrained dynamics; and account for what’s working, while clarifying options, strategic pathways, and concrete actions to take. Depending on your needs and context, we can also curate an interim support team from our expanded network with specialized skills in management, communication, design, operations, or other areas, to provide short-term crisis relief.

Program Options: 

This package involves a close collaboration for several weeks, with full time access to Collective Transitions leads.

Let’s explore together in an initial consultation on how Collective Transitions can support your organization to navigate through a moment of acute stress and difficulty or unique time-bound challenges.

Conscious Start up

How can you ensure your new initiative is relevant, successful and impactful, and, most importantly, aligned to your deepest purpose? What learnings do you, as a founder, bring to your new venture, and what needs to be first cleared and acknowledged from the past, for this new intention to fully land, take root, and thrive? 

Precision, right pacing, and integrity are important elements in the initial stages. With our System Sensing approach, we work closely with you to design, develop, and fine-tune your project, organization or business concept and co-create the conditions for a generative inner work culture. By integrating and distilling the valuable learning of previous experiences, and taking time to shape the blueprint of the initiative or organization consciously together, we ensure setting the right tone for a long term success, both as a team internally and how your effort is expressed out in the world.  

We provide stewardship, accompaniment, and support for the translation of an organization’s values into action, aligning the “what” with the “how.” 

Program Options: 

This package involves an individualized and tailored design process for 6 weeks or up to 6 months.

We can discuss in our initial consultation how we can help provide you the best foundation for meaningful and relevant success aligned with purpose and integrity.
