Episode 34 - Tim Malnick - Different Space - What's at the centre ?

In this episode I’m in conversation with Tim Malnick. Tim is a coach, learning guide, activist, author, ex politician and Buddhist. He provides creative, thought provoking and highly impactful learning and development for individuals, groups and organisations who are waking up to the realisation that the way they work and do business contributes to the ecological, social and economic crises that we face today. He was a faculty member of Ashridge Business School where in addition to research and consulting work, was a core member of the team teaching the MSc in Sustainability and Responsibility and was my tutor when I completed it in 2010. This programme described in Harvard Business Review as ‘path breaking’  and ‘transformative’ maintains an international reputation for transforming people’s thinking and doing, allowing them to act more creatively and courageously for change within their professions and organisations. Tim has one foot in academic settings and one foot in practical settings – once referred to as a ‘scholar activist’ - he likes deep thinking connected with practical and bold doing. A core belief underlying all his work is that individually and as a culture, people are waking up to the realisation that current patterns of work, organisation and business are unwittingly contributing to the ecological, social and economic crises that we face. Many people in every type of organisation now struggle with how to balance the demands of ‘making a living’ with their own sense of values, and a deep wish for their work to contribute to wider flourishing of communities, cultures and the planet. He offers safe and structured space, proven frameworks and powerful practices to take that question seriously, and to help people use it as a gateway into more meaningful, creative and empowering ways of working and running organisations. We talk about Tim’s story, and reflect on how his work is showing up in these times of interconnected crises. We also explore Tim’s work with Money, helping people makes sense of their relationship with money and the barriers and issues it creates in our lives. Tim speaks with wonderful wisdom and encourages a curiosity and awareness with ideas and practices to help reveal who we really are, to embrace that and go forth to co-create the more beautiful world. Do check out Tim’s work. I hope you enjoy this and please share and review if you do. https://differentspace.co.uk/ https://differentspace.co.uk/events/ @differentspace1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crystal-Mirror-Stories-Tim-Malnick/dp/1908363096
