Day 2, 11:00 AM "Radical Inclusivity"


Hosted by Jean Richardson (@JeanAtAzureGate)


Discussion of Radical Inclusivity: Expanding Our Minds Beyond Dualistic Thinking by Jeff Carreira and other consciousness-raising topics


Radical Inclusivity

  • There is no inside.  There is no outside.

  • "Dancing on the edge of the wormhole"

  • Dualistic thinking in Western culture

  • Integral consciousness: We live in metaphor all the time (like software)

  • There is only one reality

  • Speculative realist space: Experiments around consciousness raising (like Agile transformations and personal transformations)

  • Systems thinking

  • Consciousness as "gel"


Butterfly effect: We're already connected beyond the system

  • Jill Bolte Taylor TED Talk.  Author of "My Stroke of Insight"

  • "Consciousness Explained Better" by Allan Combs

  • The poetic nature of integral consciousness

    • Poetry leverages ambiguity to move to metaphor

    • See also "clean language"

  • Outcomes when people realize that they are not separate: Bonding, collaboration, breakdown of preconceptions, breakthrough improvement, self-realization

  • Consciousness in the workflow

  • Become a "Changed" Agent


Coming out of the wormhole…

  • What happens when you come out?

  • How do you got back to the "real world"?

  • "Re-entry"

  • Is it a calling?


Jim and Michele McCarthy's "Core Protocols"

  • "Live in greatness"


"Consciousness Hacking" by coders (see Mikey Siegal's video)

  • Meditation, mindfulness apps, pairing TDD

  • Is there a similar concept for coaching?

    • A moment of mindfulness before a meeting


Greater consciousness can result in being able to engage in respectful conflict
