Inner Challenge 5 – Accept Diversity and Complexity

One of the biggest challenges we as humans seem to have is to accept that we are different and that it is rarely so simple that there is a right answer. Life is complex, and both birth and death happen every minute. As a coach, I meet many clients with this challenge. Among other things, it expresses itself in narrow-mindedness, conflicts and imbalance – in combination with a lot of suffering.
Even our language is filled with concepts that emphasize separation and duality.
My saddest example is when a manager starts keeping a record of the bad behaviour of an employee (to justify a dismissal eventually) as if that were the only thing to note about this person. Please don’t. 

Something to consider:
Are there conflicts within you?
Are there people whom you do not want/cannot forgive?
Do you often judge others?
And how is it in the teams you are part of – have you managed to get past the conflict phase?

If you recognize yourself here, I hope, firstly, that you get help from the outside.

In Leading from Joy, I give six different inputs, including how we can train our brains and handle conflicts. Curiosity and openness are a good start in any meeting.

Those of you who follow this series – what inner challenges do you know of that I haven’t yet addressed?
