Regenerating leadership: indigenous wisdom for transforming the world
In a time of ecological, social, economic, political, geographic, and leadership disruption, a new kind of leadership is being called forth, one that remembers, reconnects and regenerates what humanity needs most right now.
Join Dumi Magadlela, regenerative leadership and team coach, speaker and systems thinker, for a deeply reflective and transformative session as part of the “12 x 12 Research Project – Coaching for a Regenerative World”.
The session will be hosted by the CCA Africa chapter.
Drawing from indigenous African wisdom, the philosophy of Ubuntu and nature-based ways of knowing, Dumi invites us to reimagine leadership beyond extraction and performance, towards wholeness, interdependence and life-affirming systems.
This session will explore and share lessons such as:
· Ubuntu and indigenous knowledge systems for navigating complexity and uncertainty,
· How leaders can embody regeneration in organisations, communities and personal practice, and
· Reconnecting and embracing who we are (part of nature) as a guide for humanising and regenerating genuine transformation in our world.
This is not just a nice-to-have conversation. It is a call to remember who we are, where we belong and how we can lead with humanity at heart in service of all life on the planet.
The session invites leaders to move beyond extraction toward connection, wholeness and life-affirming impact. This is a timely call to lead in service of people, planet and future generations!
Blow the horn and let the whole global village know about this gathering in our circle of life.
