In The Business of Healthy Masculinity The common patterns of politics and business (and possibility)
This podcast is mainly narration of a blog that I wrote after the May 4th 2023 UK local elections, layered with further insight as we see workplace and political narratives worsen with regards to their binary nature, shutting down possibility and imagination.
This podcast episode is offered as a reflective, slowed down, constructively challenging space to try and open up our thinking and curiosity beyond the conditioned binary.
What could be possible for people, business and planet if we came from a place of imagination, wonder, curiosity, vulnerability and connectedness more often?
Above is a picture of the Dartford & Gravesham Green Party team who attended the local elections on May 4th 2023 when Cllr Laura Edie was re-elected as the first Green Party councillor in their own right in the Dartford area. One of the biggest challenges that we had as a party was navigating the local Conservative parties push on binary either/or thinking around topics such as ULEZ.
Below is a tweet from Conservative MP Grant Shapps from Tuesday 1st August 2023 where they share a range of binary either/or messages with no space, nor desire to have space, for nuance.
I would like to add that there is no intention to try and sway you in any direction politically. This is just my experience, but I cannot ignore the intimate crossover between politics and business.
I invite you to get curious around your own narratives and beliefs as we together navigate the Western collapse that is clearly unfolding.
Shall we connect?
