Leadership is a journey without final destination and with few reliable maps. To honestly face today’s challenges we need to be creative, resilient, resourceful, and courageous. Leaders need tools for working in complex, shifting environments. In times of unstable resources, they need to invite and empower everyone’s leadership, including their own.
So how do we do this. Authentic leadership in the ALIA context focuses on three aspects,
Mindfulness and authenticity to cultivate our own capacity to be genuine and courageous and to lead
Tools for working with uncertainty and transforming situations we find ourselves in
How to give space for others to develop and to empower them.
These topics are explored in this Presentation

Leadership is Simple. Followership is a Challenge. Lehigh University Guest L...Joe Hessmiller
Asked to give to talk on Leadership at Lehigh University for an upperclass Leadership course. Rather than focus on 'good leadership', talk focused on what it takes to be a good follower. Effective leaders need effective followers to be successful. Offered students some ideas on how to become leaders by showing that they understood what it takes to be an effective follower.
Lead 9102 Authentic Leadership Jones, Kuehn, Marquise, WesleyShaniqua Jones, MA

The Psychology of Brexit, Trump & The Alt RightGlobal_Net
Brexit, the election of President Trump and the rise of so-called populism and the ‘alt-right’ has been a shock to the prevailing groupthink that has dominated politics for decades. In this webinar, Dr Nicholas Beecroft will explain the psychology of this seismic political change with reference to value systems, emotional wounds and the many new forms of bigotry, which are limiting our ability to adapt to current life conditions.
This Presentation is one of a series where we look at the innovative work of how through working together, housing associations and social landlords can make a difference in the employment prospects of their residents and have an influence on policy.
Breaking The Cycle of Despondency For Vulnerable MothersGlobal_Net
Here we discuss with Katherine Hewitt the plight of vulnerable mothers whose children have been taken into care and who are left alone to cope with a series of complex needs.
we discuss with Hugh Atkinson the central position of the USA in tackling climate change and whether they will become a part of the solution or remain a part of the problem.
Modern Media - Society Watchdogs or Poodles to Power?Global_Net
Questions of failed public accountability and governance lie at the heart of serial crises facing today's societies. Rolling economic breakdowns, rising inequality and looming environmental disasters all highlight the gulf between popular will and politicians' responses. Our media seem blind to this mismatch, unable to link the many problems to their common cause in the loss of people's influence over government.
Patrick Chalmers, an ex-Reuters reporter and author of Fraudcast News, lays out the charges against his chosen profession. He presents an insider's account of how mainstream media are far from being the watchdogs of power they like to pretend. Quite the opposite – the bulk of their output blinds people to their powerlessness in the face of modern politics, at every layer of government.
Yet his is a hopeful story. It includes a plan for how people can make their own media and lay claim to their political voices.
Patrick Chalmers is a journalist and author of Fraudcast News — How Bad Journalism Supports Our Bogus Democracies. You can listen to him talking about Fraudcast News in a “pop-up” interview from last year’s Rebellious Media Conference.
In this Presentation Senake Atureliya will lead us in a discussion to find out how we can regain control of our civic lives and recreate a cohesive society, put a cap on spiraling prices, tackle dwindling pay and pensions, save the 'lost generation', improve the outlook for our children and give them back their childhoods.
An ambitious aim but Senake argues that through “Food, warmth, shelter...collectively, as consumers, we are empowered. Senake’s book COMPOPOLY describes a "consumer owned and empowered democratic ecosystem" that could work for all of us - every day - rather than just serving the 1% on polling day.
Senake Atureliya is a forward thinking innovator, engineer and startup entrepreneur. He set up Joint Venture Hubs (www.jointventurehubs.com), an innovative crowd ReSourcing solution that enables collaborative innovation, enterprise and job creation. His new book, Compopoly takes this quest further by suggesting well aligned reforms to tackle the root causes - not just the symptomatic problems manifested in our society today.
In this Presntation we look at social enterprise as one means of providing both business and social value opportunities to groups and segments of the population that are either often overlooked or in some way marginalized.
This presentation looks at how social entrepreneurship could provide a form of transition or an alternative to retirement, providing an alternative or ‘middle way’ between ‘mainstream’ entrepreneurship and voluntary work. At the same time, older people’s involvement in social entrepreneurial activity could make a contribution to tackling issues of an ageing society, such as social exclusion
This presentation is based on a study that aimed at examining these trends in more depth and also explored what older people gain through their social entrepreneurial activities.
Bianca Stumbitz from Middlesex University will present this Webinar and place it in the perspective of not only the social enterprise movement itself but also other initiatives relating to employment, social value and overall policy on equality.
You can find out more about what Bianca's presentation on our CitizenZone Blog. You can view it here now.
Bianca Stumbitz has been involved in research on social entrepreneurship since 2008. Her project on 50+ Social Entrepreneurs is part of the Social Enterprise Capacity Building Cluster at the Centre for Enterprise and Economic Development Research(CEEDR) at Middlesex University Business School.
Social Enterprise: An Engine For Social Change? The Migrant CommunityGlobal_Net
This presentation discusses the role of social enterprise in working with migrant groups either as a way of supporting them directly or as a way of establishing business opportunities and self-help.
It was taken from a presentation by Alessio D’Angelo from Middlesex University who comments on this and place it in the perspective of not only the social enterprise movement itself but also other initiatives relating to employment, social value and overall policy on equality.
Alessio D’Angelo is a Lecturer in Social Sciences at Middlesex University. He has been working for several years as a freelance researcher and consultant for various Third Sector organisations and in 2009 was appointed Business and Community Interaction (BCI) ‘Champion’ for the Department of Social Sciences (Middlesex University), promoting and coordinating a number of activities in partnership with private and Third Sector organisations, including events, evaluations, consultancies, knowledge transfer and capacity building. He is a member of the Social Policy Research Centre (SPRC) and the TSRC Social Enterprise Research Capacity Building Cluster.
Religion and Politics: Perception & BeliefGlobal_Net
By looking at the relation between beliefs and politics we can begin to see how religious beliefs often take on a political nature – sometimes violent and sometimes peaceful. We can also begin to see how often these beliefs develop because of a vacuum in the secular world.
As a way of illustrating this Dr Alexandre Christoyannopoulos explored with us “Christian Anarchism” because it highlights many of these points.
Talk of religion and politics tends to conjure up images and memories of religious intolerance and political violence, especially if the word 'radical' is added in. Yet many religious radicals are non-violent.
Gandhi, for instance, was a strictly non-violent religious and political radical. What few people know is that his inspiration for this strict non-violence was Christian anarchist Leo Tolstoy.
These slides are associated with a webinar where we discussede nonviolent religious radicalism using Tolstoy and others Christian anarchists as a starting point in order to reflect more broadly on the interaction of religion and politics, on where that leaves the intentions of secularism, and on why nonviolent activism tends to be eclipsed by violent alternatives.
This slideshow focuses on personal capacities required for leading in a fast changing environment. It is being presented by Christopher Baan.
Today’s complex sustainability challenges call for a new generation of leaders and a new paradigm of leadership. Sustainability leaders and change agents need to steer their way through complex change processes in an environment that is characterised by high stakes and high uncertainty. Increasingly, leaders need to be able to facilitate participatory processes and engage a wide variety of stakeholders.
In most cases, the sustainability challenge requires engaging people in profound change, an inner shift in people’s values, aspirations and behaviours guided by their mental models, as well as an outer shift in processes, strategies and practices. Sustainability and CSR managers, change agents and facilitators need to be adept at engaging individuals and groups in a collaborative and dialogical manner, unearthing the group’s collective intelligence and assisting employees to gain a whole system perspective. Facilitating this type of transformation depends first on the authentic leadership of the facilitator.
In March 201, GlobalNet21 ran a workshop with the Migrants Resource Centre on Podcasting to encourage them to use podcasting as a tool of citizen journalism
The 21st Century is likely to be marked with increasing instability and security challenges across the globe, as the combined impacts of resource shortages, climate change, ethnic and religious polarisation and societal inequalities bite ever deeper. More and more displaced communities seem inevitable. This is the prime focus of ReBuilding Lives.
In this Presntation Robert Pye describes how the organization Ethos is keen to work with interested and concerned members of GlobalNet21 to “rebuild lives.” By developing infrastructure capability building, Ethos is are eager to recruit individuals and organisations with first-hand experience and to uncover some approaches to funding pilot projects and experiments.
This is a great opportunity for Globalnet21 to partner with Ethos, through access to the many conversations we are engaged in, as well as the rich resource found in our members, amongst whom we undoubtedly have people with the necessary attributes who want to make a difference.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

7. WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?
And what is it NOT?
Many models of leadership exist
• Leadership is one of the oldest professions in the world…
• A long history of wisdom on leadership exists from 5000 years ago to
today
Leadership adapts to the situation that it finds itself in
• Leadership, followers and the situation are interdependent – none exist
separately from each other
Leadership is not just exercising authority – although many such models exist,
especially in the early years of corporations
Leadership is not the same as management
• One view: Leadership is doing the right things, management is doing
things right
-7-
8. CURRENT THINKING ABOUT LEADERSHIP HAS MANY COMMON
THEMES
And what is it NOT?
Leadership starts with self-leadership
• Especially in todays high speed, quickly changing world without clear or
strong ethical systems
• Many leaders fail because they lack an inner maturity
Leadership has a lot to do with empowerment
• Workers require high skill sets and high flexibility – and have own access to
information (knowledge workers)
Leadership has a lot to do with helping others grow
• Maslows hierarchies of needs – peoples basic needs are often taken care of,
and success is increasingly being questioned
• Emotional intelligence of leaders seen as more important than pure
functional skills
Increasingly the lines between personal leadership and leading others is blurring

11. MINDFULNESS IS INCREASINGLY PRESENT IN THE BUSINESS WORLD
Quotes from Leaders
Modern office life and an increasingly common condition called “attention deficit trait”
are turning steady executives into frenzied underachievers. Caused by brain overload,
ADT is now epidemic in organizations. The core symptoms are distractibility, inner
frenzy and impatience. People with ADT have difficulty staying organized, setting
priorities and managing time. These symptoms can undermine the work of an otherwise
gifted executive. Edward Hallowell - Overloaded Circuits: Why Smart People
Underperform
A successful approach to sustained high performance, must consider the person as a
whole. An integrated theory of performance management addresses the body, the
emotions, the mind, and the spirit. Each of its levels profoundly influences the others,
and failure to address any one of them compromises performance. Loehr and Schwartz –
Making of the Corporate Athlete - Harvard Business Review
Meditation, typically viewed as a spiritual practice, can serve as a highly practical
means of training attention and promoting recovery. Practiced regularly, meditation
quiets the mind, the emotions, and the body, promoting energy recovery. [Loehr und
Schwartz – The Making of the Corporate Athlete in Harvard Business Review]

12. MINDFULNESS IS INCREASINGLY PRESENT IN THE BUSINESS WORLD
Quotes from Leaders
“When the 75 members of Stanford Graduate School of Business’s Advisory Council were
asked to recommend the most important capability for leaders to develop, their answer
was nearly unanimous: self-awareness.” - Bill George - Discovering your Authentic
Leadership, Harvard Business Review
“Meditation has been the single most important thing I have done to improve my
leadership. It has helped me become more self-aware and more compassionate toward
myself and others. It has also enabled me to remain calm and clear-thinking in the face of
pressure and uncertainty.” Bill George – CEO Medtronics and Author of “Authentic
Leadership”
Contrary to popular belief, cultivating the capacity for mindfulness is not just a nice-to-
have or something to be done for private reasons: it is actually essential for sustaining
good leadership. It can be one of the most important things we do, resulting in a stepwise
change in our effectiveness as leaders. Mindfulness – An essential aspect of resonant
leadership – Harvard Business Review – Boyatzis and McKee

14. WHY AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP?
Demanding times
• High competitive pressure – Globalisation, Speed, Saturated markets, and high
expectations of return.
• Focus on financial goals and associated loss of other values, de-humanisation of
companies and weakening of leadership
Courageous and authentic leaders necessary
• Leaders are required to contribute to growth in values in their companies and
also societies
• Realisation that success is more than financial/material returns – but material
well being is crucial to survival for companies.
Inner work is necessary
• Tremendous internal fragmentation of leaders (attention deficit disorder) –
focusing and raising of energy necessary
• Mindfulness, personal discipline and ethics as path to cultivate inner strengths
and appreciation
• Proper vision and values brings energy and strength
- 14 -
15. WHAT IS AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP?
In order to develop oneself as a leader, one has to train body, heart and mind
• Body: Strength, vitality and presence.
• Heart: Passion, Ability to motivate and emotional intelligence
• Mind: Inner peacefulness, Wisdom, clarity of understanding
• INNER PATH as well as ACTIVITY IN THE WORLD
Congruence of vision and values
• Personal, team, organisation values supporting societal values
• Without vision it is not possible to motivate people – money alone is not a
vision
• Without values one cannot realise the heart of ones vision
Harmony of being, action and results
• Mindfulness, thoughtfulness and reflection as part of leadership process
• Ability to take decisions to the benefit of all (people, results)
