On this episode of Leading by Nature, Jayne-Louise Collins, Founder of Deeply Living into your Leadership, joins Giles Hutchins to talk about what it means to be human in today's world of work, and how leadership can be life-affirming rather than extractive.
Jayne-Louise shares the thinking behind her work, an invitation to dissolve the separation between work and life and move beyond a purely mechanistic, rational mindset towards a more intuitive, felt way of knowing. Drawing on a long career in education, she describes the tiredness and overwhelm she sees in leaders, and why slowing down, pausing and presencing are often the beginning of meaningful change. She and Giles discuss the power of micro leadership practices over manuals and quick fixes, bringing leaders into nature to learn with and from it, and why courage is less about heroics and more about a heartfelt participation in life. Jayne-Louise also reflects on her time in the woods at Springwood, where decay, letting go and composting became something she could touch and feel.
