Seeing That Frees: Shifting our perception from a world of objects to a web of relationship
In this podcast, Katie Churchman speaks with CRR Global faculty member Janet Frood and systems worker Tom Mansfield about the Cards for Life project and its applications in coaching and organizational development. The project was designed to bridge personal development and environmental awareness, serving as “permission slips” or “portals” to shift perspectives, access emotions, and facilitate deeper conversations in team and organizational settings. Throughout this conversation, Janet, Tom and Katie explore ways to synthesise different concepts and experiences, leverage the wisdom of nature within systems coaching, and embody metaskills. This fascinating conversation invites us to connect our inner personal work with outer systemic concerns, offering coaches practical ways to shift emotional fields in their work.
