What does it take to move a system that feels stuck? It requires first addressing stagnancy and pain within ourselves. In a powerful conversation at #skollwf 2025, John Kania, Founder and Executive Director of @CollectiveCLab, reflected on how individual healing creates space for new possibilities across entire systems. Healing brings clarity. And with it, the space to imagine and work toward more peaceful futures. Healing isn’t just inner work, it’s collective. Watch the full session and explore how inner transformation can catalyze change: skoll.wf/wellbeingmatte…

⭐️What can we see when we view trauma through a systems lense? Our latest article in @SSIReview with partners @TheWellbeingP & @Georgetown

In our latest article in @SSIReview the Collective Change Lab propose that “to truly transform systems, we must apply a trauma lens to the conditions that hold problems in place, take a healing-centered perspective, and explore experiences that can create collective healing.”

How can we shift our traumatized & traumatizing systems toward systems of compassion and care? The healing power of relationships is perhaps the single greatest leverage point to fundamentally re-wire a system’s behavior and the outcomes it produces. 🔗 lnkd.in/em7JGDcV
