Session: Authentic Inaction: Undoing the Doing in a Do Crazy World
This keynote inspires organizations and teams to support more meaningful and sustainable ways of leading and taking action that optimize engagement, commitment and impact at all levels.
Renee is a self-proclaimed doing addict and work-a-holic - a woman who has regularly sacrificed her way of being for the reliable high of ‘doing.’ She is deeply committed to increasing awareness of this systemic addiction giving individuals and organizations a pathway to achieve greater authenticity and connection to what they do within their personal and professional lives, no matter where they are in their career or life journey.
Renee took her doing addiction story one step further - she shared it on the TEDx Stage. However, she is not alone. Many suffer from doing too much. This crippling addiction is affecting all of us to the tune of billions of dollars a year in health care costs, corporate burn-out, and wasted effort. It has contributed to broken relationships and a loss of our truest sense of who we are in the world.
What makes this dilemma between doing and not doing even more difficult to overcome, is that this idea of taking action, being in the world as doers, is not only accepted - it is honored, encouraged, and expected. It is an identity, rooted in our culture. While we absolutely make an impact on the world through our actions, our actions should be a natural extension of who we are. Instead, what we do has become the definition of who we are.
Renée shares 4 essential steps to move from Inauthentic Action
Action - optimizing focus, commitment and impact. Authentic Inaction, a key practice introduced in this keynote, invites us to consciously and resourcefully question our dominant culture of constantly doing - staying busy and doing it all, to Authentic
achieving and improving. It ultimately asks us to choose a less productive life, a life that acknowledges the limits of our attention, energy and time. But in return, brings into sharper focus what it is we are truly meant to do with the clarity and commitment to fully make it happen!
