NATURE & LEADERSHIP
There can surely be no greater urgency to relook how we are living, than the present hour. The natural world has its own will, its own direction and force, a force no man despite all the technology, wealth and intellect in the world can stop.
Mankind's disrespect of this fundamental law has led to these unprecedented times. I hear of so many people referring to ‘how to save the planet,’ which I consider one of the great illusions of our time … for the planet does not need saving, it is us that does. What requires conserving is our unity of thought, of mass action based on the sanctity of common sense.
It is now time to be this leadership, one that can only come from people who understand the value and implications of living respectfully with nature. As everything is inter-connected, how goes it with nature, goes it with us.

True inspiration comes from within. First inward, then outward. This is the origin of fundamental change.

we need to TRANSFORM A SACRED ATTITUDE
The values of nature are universal, and we urgently need to embrace ecological thinking in our lives. These values reboot our entire physiological and psychological chemistry, defining how empathetic we are with our own ourselves, nature, and our co-inhibitors.
NATURE IS OUR PRIME SOURCE OF UNDERSTANDING
The enforced solitude during the corona pandemic could be seen as meaningful natural moments to examine how we are with ourselves. To think more ecologically, more intelligently about our lives and living. The gateway to this is simple attention to our natural world. A redemptive stillness to reflect.
RECONNECT WITH OUR OWN WILD NATURES
The origin of the genetic memory of all mankind is in a state of union with nature. And nature reminds us that the flow of life force is not only transformational, but most importantly, circular. Through the circuit of producers to consumers to decomposers, energy always returns to replenish the source. What you put out comes back. But in our modern world, the flow is linear; we consume without return. Is there any wonder that we run out of resources and ecological dignity?

LEADERSHIP TRANSFORMATION TRAILS
Our meaningful wilderness and wildlife encounters in remote Botswana create opportunities to explore the sense of wonder nature inspires. And the possibility to play these instincts and ecological wisdom forward into the future. Both personally and professionally. By exploring wild landscapes, we open our minds to another kind of tracking; that of our inner landscape; our values, priorities and legacies. Will we not always be remembered by the tracks we leave? Perhaps the essence of being human is a desire to create more inspiring possibility, in our own lives and for others.

LEARNING FROM NATURE
The simplicity of a stone. It may not be a diamond or emerald; it’s far more valuable than that. |
LOOK BACK TO LOOK AHEAD
