Thought Leadership
Measuring, translating and shifting human consciousness in society, economy, and politics - in every area of life that requires meaningful collaboration.The three key focus points of Teresa Zimmermann’s work are:
Complexity
To navigate complexity, we need to re-learn the ancient virtue to “sit with the problem” just long enough to diligently gather relevant samples of information – until we’ve understood not things in detail (as that’s obviously impossible) but the main intangible structure of the situation and make it addressable, relatable, discussable and ready for transformation.
In today’s demand to shift fast and agile, this requires a healthy balance between constant process communication with a focus on efficiency and stability, creating an arena of trust, while assessing, designing and translating the structure for change with a very wide, ideally transgenerational scope in mind. Innerstanding complexity requires a felt sense for success patterns and challenges, while using cognition as our initial, most precise tool for making all stakeholders relate to our intention.
Prediction
While complexity research is humbly teaching us, how little we know, deciphering patterns of success allows us to anticipate quite precisely, how to foster growth. And it will also shed light on which areas will grow easily, which will need more attention, and which obstacles will be deal breakers unless elegantly transformed or removed. There is no such thing as certain prediction, but just like a tree grows in rings, water follows the path of least resistance and light comes in through cracks, we can read along the patterns of human growth behaviour and anticipate both individual and collective human movement.
Soft Power
The distinguishment between power and force follows a simple rule: power does never deplete resources – not time, money, energy, human contribution, water, soil, you name it.
People, who truly wield power are creating meta perspectives, that include everyone’s needs involved. This requires a stance of non-rivalry, as in “we cannot compete, because I want you to win too.” The practice of Soft Power describes the path of becoming deeply powerful.
Successfully navigate through change
There are many unforeseen days in the world. Unless...
- Change are happening so fast that our society is becoming unbalanced.
- This loss of security affects us profoundly. We start to resist change and on the other hand force it, so it’s “done”.
Change requires a deep understanding of our patterns in order to develop smart and inclusive methods of adaptation. Teresa Zimmermann's framework "The Core" offers an incredibly precise analysis of the complexity we need to navigate to successfully transform.
Until everything makes sense again
Fundamentally recognizing behavioural patterns is the kick off ramp to a new path.
- Encounters in crisis are crucial to build trust.
- To foster change, we must first understand what we subconsciously need and where our thought patterns begin.
The ability to make meaningful decisions under stress is crucial for individual well-being and the success of societies. Deeply understanding where we come from is the first step to create trust and resilience.
Know Thyself
Own your potential. Face your challenges.
But with the lights on.
- Determining our deep unconscious motivation is the first step towards full transparency about our thought and action patterns.
- This precision allows us to truly activate our potential and experience inner clarity and trust.
Our reactions to change depend on the maturity of our consciousness.
