Initiatives
U-Academy by Otto Scharmer and the Presencing Institute
Otto Scharmer scharmer@mit.edu via presencing.ccsend.com launces the U-Academy
Peter Burgess
Dear Peter,
Last week, I shared with you the launch of the GAIA initiative. GAIA has since activated a global community with more than 10,000 registered members.
Today, I'm writing you with the exciting announcement that we are launching the U.Academy this week. The U.Academy will complement our free online offerings (e.g., GAIA, u.lab) with a second pillar. This new offering focuses on high-end, online capacity-building modules, designed for professionals from across all sectors. Born from a long-held intention, we feel that this is the right timing.
The purpose of the U.Academy is twofold:
- 1) to better serve the capacity-building needs of professionals and their institutions in order to lead transformational change in times of profound disruption, and
- 2) to generate revenues to cross-fund our various free online offerings such as GAIA, u.lab 1x, u.lab 2x, etc.
All programs featured on the U.Academy are digital offerings, and provide in-depth, targeted trainings:
AWARENESS PRACTICES IN LEADERSHIP
Awareness Practice in Leadership provides a 3-week online journey focused on training our 'muscle of awareness', deepening our ability to pay attention to our attention, and embodying a leadership that is grounded, while being able to hold and expand the horizontal connection.

DIGITAL LEADERSHIP:
ACTIVATING AND HOLDING TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE ONLINE
Whether you are an executive, a manager, an educator, or a movement maker, the capacity to blend digital technologies with state-of-the-art systems thinking and awareness-based leadership tools is at the heart of most big leadership challenges that companies, governments, international institutions, and institutions of education are facing today.

SOCIAL PRESENCING THEATER: THE ART OF MAKING A TRUE MOVE
A 'true move' is an action that arises from openness - a space in which our body, mind and environment are synchronized and not at war with one another.
