Regenerative Leadership Program

Experience a new level of energy and creativity and unleash your leadership potential

It’s time for a new kind of leadership that unleashes the potential in people, organisations, and communities where everyone plays a role.

Health is at the centre of every living thing. The food you eat can be a powerful form of medicine or you can slowly degrade yourself with the decisions you make regarding food.

The mindset that you bring to the living systems you are a part of makes a huge difference, whether it’s your family, friends, teammates, co-workers, or community.

The team from nRhythm and Dr Hugh Jellie from Ata Regenerative have teamed up to bring you this exciting Regenerative Leadership Course which focuses attention on creating the capacity within any system to support the emergence of health and potential within organisations and communities that can thrive.

Now more than ever organisations and individuals across New Zealand and the Globe are conscious of new ways of doing things. New ways of producing healthier, more sustainable, more eco-friendly organisations, and new ways of leading and collaborating in business.

If you want to be a leader in this revolutionary regenerative movement that can be applied in all aspects of life including how to lead in business, then register your interest here.

What you’ll learn

We know that guiding our projects into the world requires a new kind of leadership. One that unleashes the regenerative potential in people, organizations, and communities.

It requires all of us to move away from command-and-control strategies that maximize performance and efficiency to focus on creating the ideal conditions for health and potential to emerge.

The Regenerative Leadership Program will challenge your current leadership assumptions and invite you to radically shift your mindsets, behaviors and practices. This immersive three-month program will provide you and your teams with the foundational understanding, personal reflection and mindfulness and practical experience to fully “bring forth” your regenerative vision.

We will cover the following topics during the leadership practices workshops.

  • Understanding Regenerative
  • How do I start?
  • What shifts do I need to make?
  • The opportunities for a local, health-driven food community
  • The benefits for New Zealand

 

To increase your understanding and capacity, we created these RLP’s using nRhythm’s six guiding Regenerative Design Principles:

  • Holism
  • Evolutionary
  • Interdependence
  • Developmental
  • Nodal
  • and uniqueness to manifest a different way of leadership.

 

By participating in these practices, you can build upon each one of those principles and generate the capacity needed for new potential.

Programme Design:

The Regenerative Leadership Program is an opportunity to challenge your current assumptions about leadership and develop your capacity to lead regeneratively. With a variety of different engagement opportunities, we will support you on an intentional journey using Regenerative Design Principles & Regenerative Framework.

Designing Shifts: Your Regenerative Leadership Project

In the second month, you will apply your foundational knowledge by designing a Regenerative Leadership Project to implement in your organization, network, or community.  This could be reimaging team structures, making meetings more empowering and meaningful, creating more effective communication structures, or something completely new in your context.

We will then lead you through our Regenerative Design Framework to bring your project to life.

Here’s what people have to say

“Using nature as an example where everything is interdependent on each other, it became easier to understand that when we start working together to support one another and allow individuals to shine collectively we can achieve great things. It was hard to move away from problem base decision making to potential based decisions but once the shift happened it opened the way for purposeful intelligent decision making.

 The ongoing support from the Design Lab team and Āta Regenerative is truly amazing. You become a member of a wonderful worldwide community with regular zoom catchups to touch base and hear what is happening around the globe. Though if the time doesn’t work there are New Zealand friendly time zone meetings. It is a lovely way to keep connected with everyone and be supported through your journey.”
