Developing the elusive genius in ourselves

David Whyte describes;
genius originating from the latin meaning "the spirirt of a place". So genius is something that is itself and no other thing. For a leader the task is simple to inhabit our life fully and in that inhabitation, let everything ripen to the next stage of the conversation. The core act of leadership must be the act of making conversations real. The conversations that forge real relationships between the inside of the human being and their outer world or between an organisation… Continue

What's the elephant in the room?


There's a real art in sensing the tensions in a meeting and then drawing peoples' attention to the unspoken. It requires real self-awareness of what's going on in the moment, to unearth what needs declaration. By drawing on peoples' energies one can find a touch point that brings attention… Continue

About

Rosanda McGrath Rosanda McGrath created this social network on Ning.

in brief

Emerging blog post themes include;


Rosanda completed the 3 Peaks challenge, climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in dreadful weather conditions. As David Whyte describes in "Crossing th unknown Sea" I was living on the edge doing different work that was challenging me both physically and mentally

in situ Rosanda's meeting place in Kew. Delegates commented "you manage to offer a sense of being “looked after” along with a refreshing informality" and another said "Rosanda’s is a very good venue to work. It is very personal and comfortable and has nothing of the sterility of those hotels that seem to train their staff to give every guest such a replicated personal “experience” [and everything seems to be an “experience” these days] that is anything but."

And for food lovers below is a delicious flapjack recipe, and a few further recipes that I've cooked for recent events
