Your brain on sustainability
Sustainability requires Change - Change requires Leadership
NeuroleadershipIreland is the coming together of three renowned experts in the areas of Change Management, Sustainability and Neuroleadership (the application of neuroscience to the arena of leadership), to provide a highly impactful Sustainability Leadership programme called "Cognitive Shift: Leaders for a Sustainable Future"
Based on the Inner Development Goals framework, this programme will not only supercharge sustainable practices within your organisation, but also nurture and develop a sustainability leadership mindset into the future.
Sustainability requires Change, and Change requires Leadership, so this programme takes a holistic, scientific, and evidence-backed approach to guiding that change, enhancing sustainability expertise, and understanding the neuroscience behind effective leadership.
As a group we offer a unique blend of executive coaching, sustainability and change management expertise and bring a wealth of experience from the corporate, climate change and clinical sectors to the table. All three programme facilitators are experts in Human Behaviour in our chosen fields, and passionate believers in the Inner Development Goals Framework as the ideal means to drive outer change through inner readiness, and empower your organisation to become
Sustainability Leaders!
Our Mission
“To create Sustainability Leaders through education on the principles of inner development - because nothing changes until behaviour changes.”
Organisational culture change happens through the engagement and output of every individual in every team.
Happily, all of our principles and expertise crystallised around an existing framework, known as the Inner Development Goals - a powerful vehicle to drive outer change through inner readiness, and empower your organisation to become Sustainability Leaders!
The Inner Development Goals help leadership teams to role-model successful change principles through interconnectedness, team and organisational development.
Inner Development Goals - Background
In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) gave us a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030. Although much knowledge has been accumulated about the climate crisis, poverty, public health, and other social ills communicated in the SDGs, we seem to lack the inner capacity to deal with our increasingly complex environment and challenges.
The SDGs outlined a vision of what needs to happen, yet progress towards this vision has been disappointing as technical solutions and public policy, which comprise the majority of approaches today, are insufficient on their own.
What has been largely missing from current strategies is a keen insight into which abilities, qualities or skills we need to develop among individuals, groups and organisations that play crucial roles in working to fulfil the SDGs.
Fortunately, modern research shows that the inner abilities we require to complement and accelerate our external approaches can be developed. This was the starting point for the Inner Development Goals (IDG) initiative.
First published in 2020, the Inner Development Goals Framework was created by a team of industry experts and academics who identified 23 behaviours, under 5 key headings, that drive outer change through inner readiness.
The IDG Framework
The Inner Development Goals Framework simplifies a complex field of human development to help us better identify, understand, communicate, develop, and integrate the inner skills needed for sustainable development.
