Key themes
- Presencing: sensing and actualizing emerging futures
- The U-process: downloading, seeing, sensing, presencing, crystallizing, prototyping, performing
- How the quality of leader attention shapes organizational possibility
- Moving from problem-solving to genuine innovation
- The role of stillness and inner work in systemic change
