POLITICAL POD Meta-perspectives on Current Political Trends

Hosted by Dr Katarzyna Schubert-Panecka and Dr Diana Collett

When coaching politicians, change agents, and other clients we not only work with the individuals and teams, but with the contexts and systems they are shaped by and are shaping. Those contexts and systems are both culturally specific and framed globally.

When offering sustainable coaching, we need to try to understand multiple factors, like megatrends and political flows, as well as the group dynamics, individual approaches, and the political history of green politics across many countries. Knowing the political landscape and atmosphere is not just interesting and powerful – it is essential for working effectively with these clients. They expect this level of engagement and competence from us.

This session offers an opportunity to discuss philosophical, sociological, and legal perspectives of the current political climate throughout the world. In the session we will:

• Address the meta-perspectives

• Befriend complexity

• Reflect on our own local contexts and systems.

This dynamic discussion will better prepare us to understand some of the deeper and often hidden pressures that influence our client’s decisions and public actions. It provides valuable insight into several elements of Step 2 Grasping Climate Politics of the Political Pod playbook – Climate Coaching in Politics – A Playbook on How to Cut Through the Challenges.
