We have become adept at relating to our world in a ‘doing mode’; we attend to action, often focusing through a narrow, instrumental lens of short-term productivity onto targets, metrics, agendas and to-do lists. This is a vital capacity for survival. Whilst we couldn’t live without this mode, its value to us and our society is deeply dependent on us also being able to employ what we call a ‘spacious mode’, characterised by an expansive, exploratory attention where interdependencies and relationships are foregrounded and, in the absence of pressure for immediate expectations of action, insight becomes possible. This talk will share Megan’s most recent research examining how, whilst still attending to the task at hand, we might reclaim space for conversations that matter at work.
