Generous Design, 2023
Year-long circle between coaching and Critical Business School. We will use the Principles of Generous Design as a focal point for our exploration and discourse. In hindsight, I realize this manifesto articulated personal philosophy in a time of change (from corporate innovation to coaching).
Each member will produce an artifact embedding a personal philosophy, and practices to support it.

January: Interests
Ask yourself what you are interested in at least once a month.
Feb: Answers
Never try and learn answers. Always reflect on how you ask questions.
March: Challenges
When someone challenges you, take it as a compliment. They could have kept their mouth shut. Silence is the biggest offense.
April: Order
Order is overrated, and so are rules. Machines do both best.
May: Learning
Learn to identify moments of discomfort. That is learning.
June: Looking
Look at everything upside down.
July: Dance
Learn to dance with your words and thoughts.
August: Traveling
Be a traveler, not a conqueror.
September: Actions
Don’t think about the cause and effect of actions, focus on the design of environments.
October: Knowing
Love the unknown.
November: Caring
Always Care.
December: Feeling
Listen to Feelings.
