Sharing Power Community of Practice

Is your business, org, or working group facing a challenge on your journey toward sharing power, leadership and decision-making? Sign up today to connect with GWI and other orgs engaged in practicing democracy at work and ready to listen and offer feedback and support.

Good Work Institute shares and celebrates your commitment to a democratic workplace! And we know it’s not easy. There’s a lot of learning and unlearning to do along the way. Thankfully, there’s a growing community to learn from and with. Alongside other opportunities for learning and support, including weekly discovery calls focused on org-specific challenges and our annual online series of workshops focused on democratizing work, we’re excited to offer these quarterly facilitated discussions to connect, and give and receive support. Bring a challenge to share, an openness to listen to others’ struggles, and a willingness to share from your experience. Together we’ll cultivate a healthy ecosystem of democratic workplaces in our region (and farther afield). This offering is intended for those in the Mahicantuck (Hudson) Valley who are actively engaged in the practice of sharing power, leadership and decision-making, including those who have participated in our online workshop series Democratizing Work: Ways of Sharing Power, Leadership and Decision Making or Shared Leadership and Democracy in the Workplace.

Just Transition Primer

Let’s come together online to align understanding and action in support of effective, collective responses to the moment we are living in.

We’ve been through a global pandemic. Soaring prices for housing and food make it increasingly difficult to secure our basic needs. Wildfire smoke and damaging storms are commonplace. Our entrenched political divides are laced with conflict and create a sense of insecurity. How do we make sense of these realities? Where can we glimpse the kind of possibility worth coming together to work for? This workshop provides an opportunity to connect, explore a shared vision of Just Transition, and consider the question: What will it take to build systems centered on care for each other and our shared home? What would it mean for many of us in the Mahicantuck (Hudson) Valley to be focused on social and ecological well-being? Join us online, in community, to deepen your understanding of the Just Transition framework, principles and practices. Through video, reflection, story sharing, and small group discussion, you will:

  • See people from across the country describing aspects of Just Transition
  • Hear how other participants respond to the framework
  • Connect your own experience to extractive and regenerative economic paradigms
  • Gain a sense of the framework, principles and practices, and where they come from
  • Discuss ways you are drawn toward weaving one or more Just Transition principles and practices into your Good Work
