Generous Design

Year-long circle between coaching and Critical Business School. We will use the Principles of Generous Design as a focal point for our exploration and discourse. In hindsight, I realize this manifesto articulated personal philosophy in a time of change (from corporate innovation to coaching).

Each member will produce an artifact embedding a personal philosophy, and practices to support it.

More on the concept of personal philosophy in this image.

what is personal philosophy?

Current plan:

1. January: Interests
   Ask yourself what you are interested in at least once a month.

2. Feb: Answers
   Never try and learn answers. Always reflect on how you ask questions.

3. March: Challenges
   When someone challenges you, take it as a compliment. They could have kept their mouth shut. Silence is the biggest offense.

4. April: Order
   Order is overrated, and so are rules. Machines do both best.

5. May: Learning
   Learn to identify moments of discomfort. That is learning.

6. June: Looking
   Look at everything upside down.

7. July: Dance  Learn to dance with your words and thoughts.

8. August: Traveling
   Be a traveler, not a conqueror.

9. September: Actions
   Don’t think about the cause and effect of actions, focus on the design of environments.

10. October: Knowing
    Love the unknown.

11. November: Caring
    Always Care.

12. December: Feeling
    Listen to Feelings.
