Everyday Habits for Change Makers: insights from Change Facilitator Adam Kahane

<p>“Every single one of us has bells that we can ring; that are within our reach. They may be hidden. They may not be obvious. They may be unfamiliar. But there is something every one of us can do within our reach. What it requires is to forget your perfect offering. Forget the hope that it will be perfect, or we know what will happen, or our collaborators will be perfect, or we will be perfect.” - <strong>Adam Kahane</strong></p><p>Adam Kahane is a facilitator of processes through which organizations and leaders in society and business collaborate to address the biggest challenges. He is a co-founder of the consultancy agency Reos Partners and the author of six books on topics such as facilitation, power, collaboration, and transforming systems.</p><p>“I’m grateful to see a person who has such a positive influence on how people can work better, how people can see things from a different light, but also how we humanise our approach in collaborating and facilitation. How can we not only look towards war, but also see the love that is connected with that. I see you having a lot of influence, and with influence and power comes great responsibility. The way that you carry that responsibility is admirable.” - <strong>Vivian Acquah</strong></p><p>A thoughtful, honest, and deeply curious person, Adam explores complex collaborations with unlike others, power dynamics, and lasting ways to work on systems change. </p><p>Based in Montreal, he has explored the systems change in South Africa after apartheid, learned from peace negotiations in Colombia, and much more. He talks with change makers all around the world.</p><p>“Try to take care of yourself and be properly you know, grounded in all physical and mental and spiritual respects, it doesn’t have to be something complicated or esoteric, but take care of yourself, because if you’re seriously out of balance in any dimension, you’re not going to be of much help to other people, and you’re not going to be able to do your job.” - <strong>Adam Kahane</strong></p><p></p><p>In this episode:</p><p>* <strong>Adam Kahane and his work</strong></p><p>* <strong>What made Adam say yes to the work he does</strong></p><p>* <strong>Key everyday habits for change makers</strong></p><p>* <strong>Acting responsibly</strong></p><p>* <strong>Ingredients that shape your impact in the world</strong></p><p>* <strong>Ubuntu and community thinking</strong></p><p>* <strong>Stood points and changing your mind</strong></p><p>* <strong>Persevering and resting</strong></p><p>* <strong>Adam’s inspirations</strong></p><p>* <strong>Working with cracks</strong></p><p></p><p>🎧 <strong>Listen to the full episode</strong> You’ll find it on your favourite podcast app or via the player at the top of this page.</p><p>“We will be using the habits in the book Everyday Habits For Transforming Systems throughout this season to talk with other guests. We’ve been learning so much about how all of these habits are important. We mentioned a few of them in this conversation, and there are more. I warmly recommend this book.” - Marjolijn Vlug</p><p></p><p><strong>About Adam Kahane</strong></p><p>Adam Kahane is a facilitator of processes through which business, government, and civil society leaders collaborate to address their most important and intractable challenges.
