Join us for the second in our series of global thought leadership sessions led by leadership consultant Susan Long, doctoral candidate Margo Lockhart, and organisational consultant Fiona Martin.
The Topic
In the Eco-Leadership webinar, we will deeply explore our relationships with animals and the conscious and unconscious psycho-dynamics involved in relation to both our workplaces and our personal lives.
We will be exploring our attitudes to, and emotions about, animals within our workplaces, animals we connect with as pets, animals that end up as food on dinner tables, and ‘wild’ animals in our parks, forests, and other natural settings.
We will be taking part in interactive, creative processes to actively explore how we personally connect (and don’t connect) with animals in their lives; discussion about the history of human-animal connection; and suggested possibilities for re-connecting in role and in personal ways with the animals in our lives.
The Agenda
In the first half of the webinar, Susan, Margo, and Fiona will deliver the main seminar. Expect to:
- actively explore how you personally connect (and don’t connect) with animals in your life;
- learn about the history of human-animal connection;
- learn how to re-connect in role and in personal ways with the animals in our lives.
In the second half, we'll move into a reflection-application session:
- 'Composting': experienced peers work the material in small groups to sprout new ideas;
- 'Weaving': attendees gather to collectively reflect and question, weaving our experiences together;
- Discuss how we will apply learnings to our personal practice in Reflection Application Pairs (RAPs).
The Speakers
Susan Long is a Melbourne-based organisational consultant and executive coach. Previously Professor of Creative and Sustainable Organisation at RMIT University, she is now a Professor and Director of Research and Scholarship at the National Institute for Organisation Dynamics Australia (NIODA) and a coach and consultant in private practice. Susan has been in a leadership position in many professional organisations and has published ten books and many articles in books and scholarly journals, is General Editor of the journal Socioanalysis and an Associate Editor with Organisational and Social Dynamics. Susan is a distinguished member of ISPSO.
Margo Lockhart is currently undertaking doctorate research in the ‘social politics of meat’, an exploration of what is talked about and not talked about, concerning the animals we raise and consume. She has a particular interest in the ‘meat paradox’ - the fact that we can both love and eat animals, and the cognitive dissonance and dissociation this entails. Her academic focus combines her extensive experience in leadership development and group dynamics with her love of animals and her interest in sustainability.
Fiona Martin is an organisational consultant and coach to industry and public service organisations, an Associate Researcher with NIODA, and has published papers in scholarly journals. She brings practical experience to consulting and coaching having held senior leadership roles that have been responsible for innovation and change in private enterprise, government, emergency management, and education.
