to me
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:
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. Faculty: Arawana Hayashi, Julie Arts, Otto Scharmer Read more here 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.
