This is a time of change, crisis and breakdown. But Otto Scharmer says that small “islands of coherence” are emerging, localized pockets of pioneering thought leaders taking action to being to catalyze what he calls multi-system transformation. He has produced a holistic guide to actions people can take, Presencing: 7 Practices for Transforming Self, Society, and Business, co-authored with Katrin Kaufer.
Scharmer and Kaufer outline 7 contributions they say can elevate our civilization: becoming aware, generative listening, dialogue and co-sensing, presenting, ecosystem leadership, co-creating across boundaries, and building unity.
Can these practices catalyze multi-system change and planetary healing? Find out for yourself when Otto Scharmer joins us in-person in San Francisco.
Bestselling author Scharmer is a senior lecturer at MIT and the founding chair of the Presencing Institute.
