PARADIGM

noun (parədʌɪm)

A VIEW OF THE WORLD THAT REACTS TO AND IN TURN CREATES the WORLD

WHAT SORT OF LEADER DO YOU WANT TO BE?

One to one support at DOSE is about personal transformation. Many clients approach us with a question something like this: ‘What should I do now?’ With very few exceptions, in helping them find their way forward, we take a step backward. We help them explore a different question first: ‘Who do you want to be?’ Our one to one support, during which we explore paradigms, sees us working with individual healthcare leaders to help them find some clarity and direction. We investigate work things from a human perspective and human things from a work perspective. Then oddly enough, that original question doesn’t seem so tricky anymore.

Paradigm isn’t something we created. Our clients created it during longer creation and transformation projects. We worked hard on the practical nuts and bolts of the project but something else was happening too. With the questions they were asking and the directions our discussions were taking. The trust and familiarity developed during those times and the kinds of relationships that were forming enabled deeper conversations. That recognised the presence of other questions, other considerations that appear when doing what we think of as professional work. It becomes clear that separating our work from our lives isn’t helpful. Acting in one area without considering the rest of our existence isn’t helpful either.

Our one to one work is for leaders and entrepreneurs, creatives and disruptors, believers and seekers, who want to reconnect with their humanity. So that they can return to their work and their lives a little more themselves and do both better. Live better, more whole and more connected.

working on your life not just in it

This work is about asking ourselves fundamental questions. Getting to some richer, more fulfilling ways of seeing how we turn up in our lives and in our work. As well as talking shop and supporting clients practically with business issues, large and small, we work through an exploration of how they might live well with work as part of their life rather than as a separate thing. How that work might become more satisfying for themselves and others and how the way they look at the world in the first place has profound effects on how they experience life.

Our one to one work is an opportunity to step to one side for a short while. To watch what is happening rather than be in it. To feel safe in a comfortable, non-competitive environment, to be a little vulnerable as necessary and work on yourself.

There is no curriculum. We work with a framework that looks at creating and transforming pharmacy businesses, what that is like for the people doing it and designing lives that have meaning. Our one to one work is about seeing what emerges rather than controlling the outcome. We share a direction without the expectation of arriving at a pre-defined place.

Don’t imagine that this is without effort. It’s enjoyable but it’s not just about enjoyment. It’s freeing but it’s not free time. Not working on something dirrectly can often allow just what is required for what is inside you to rise up. What that is will be unique to you. You may develop clear actions in your mind or no concrete outcomes at all.

Now this is either for you or it isn’t. No apologies for that. If you are ready you are ready.

Our one to one work is for those who are striving and reaching and getting somewhere yet realising that there is still something they can’t quite see that is missing. For those on the brink of realising that experiencing a fulfilling life might not be quite what they thought it was.

All we do is spend time together on the brink.
