Project Report 7
Working with people
This project will develop slowly over the coming months, and fits very nicely in with my project 4 which is a design for a public garden- perfect combination! For the moment as I brew this idea, some basic thoughts and initial actions based on permaculture principals are below...
Designing my way in...
Finding and taking opportunities to develop my ability to work with people. Permaculture to me is about awareness of our part in the world and applying conscious design to how we live based on what we can find out around us. Perhaps I am not naturally inclined to teach or know heaps about soil and growing and compost but I am inspired by permaculture and I want to develop my ability to convey ideas and offer learning to groups of people. Through observation in this project so far I have discovered that my niech is actually as a supporting plant, a creative support to permaculture practitioners and conveying permaculture ways of doing things through my work in general. If the ethics and principals of permaculture can underlie all my work then that is great.

Goals Articulation
Design from .:'*pattern*':. to detail
I have a desire to develop my leadership and mentor skills and generally more helpful in my connections with others. Not just a desire but in my integral quadrant this is part an area very empty! I find the subject of mentors to be very poignant, something I wish I could have benefited more from growing up, but also knowing for certain how the few mentors I did have had a major impact on me. I would like to make effort to develop mentorship skills. It is also part of my long term goals to eventually be self employed and make a living from things I love, and as such, I am doing this PR with the aim of pushing my edges and seeing how I would fare running workshops - if I have the potential to provide myself another income stream from it. And also just improve my confidence working with a range of different people. That is the pattern, -the main aim. The detail is how I design myself into organizing the workshops and the formulation of the events themselves.

Principals in this projectApply self regulation and accept feedback It will be very important to find ways to monitor my performance through certain indicators and change the way I work accordingly Integrate rather than segregate Of course an important principal here. Learning how to encourage those on the edges is very interesting to me. Produce no waste Look at my habitual patterns and work with them so I am not wasting energy on fear etc. Also create clarity in design so not to waste efforts. Work with nature, not against it What do people want? What is the niche? The problem is the solution! Yield is limited only by imagination Learn about people, about how they want to be treated, about mentoring to develop their amazing potential, yesssss! Also if I can bust out a few successful workshops and events then I could potentially take this anywhere, who knows... |
Catch and store energy
This project is in keeping with my life design PR2 in that I wanted to develop elements in my life that were valuable in money, yes, but also held their value in other ways. These are things such as developing my communication skills, mentoring skills, improvisation, leadership and confidence skills in a way that will keep on serving me and build into my future goals. Observe and interact A great way to do this will be to go to other workshops that are being held and see how they work. One of these will be experiencing and learning how people teach at the PDC I'm going to in March, what good ways people have of working with a group. Also when it comes to designing the workshop, to spend time observing the environment in which it will take place. There is also some great advice in books and online, see below. Creatively use and respond to change There are many variables when running a workshop or event that I can foresee. Things about the venue, resources, the participants, energy levels...all sorts. I can develop the ability to be adaptable and open to the changeable nature of a group...especially a group of children! Obtain a yield? In what way will the event itself produce a yield? Getting a group of people together has potential for awesome things! |
PR 6
Observe/ Boundaries / Resources
(combined!)
I have had some time to think about this project now, and I have made some observations of the starting point -myself!
Firstly, this project seems to entwine with the zone 00 design a lot...below are a few ways I've seen this
"You start with your nose, then your hands ... your back door, your doorstep - you get all that right, then everything is right. If all that's wrong, nothing can ever be right. Say you're working for a big overseas aid organization. You can't leave home in a Mercedes Benz, travel 80 kilometers to work in a great concrete structure where there are diesel engines thundering in the basement just to keep it cool enough for you to work in, and plan mud huts for Africa! You can't get the mud huts right if you haven't got things right where you are." Bill Mollison
I have a drive to work with people, but I wont be a very effective mentor if I don't have a good grasp of myself.

I have realized throughout the past few projects that I am not naturally inclined towards permaculture teaching or deeper learning about land-based design, however much I really enjoy and believe in this, I am more inclined to the creative and social side of it all. So I have to go with nature and not against it.
So what is the result of this observation? In developing leadership skills I need to look for opportunities for creative collaboration and factor the wheres and whats of this into my design. One example of how I could do such a thing is to collaborate with permaculture designers and spaces to offer the creative side of the teaching, promotion and creation. And this focuses this design back into a main aim of the diploma, to disseminate ideas of permaculture, this design would develop my skill so I could better do that.
Here is a little plan for the future about how I could get this collaboration happening, I'll just put it here for the moment.

It is also interesting to ask why I want to work with people...
There is a business idea called the golden circle (click on the right to know more) it's kind of basic but nice... that to be a successful leader or have a successful buisiness or product you must always start why a deep undestanding of WHY you are doing something, and then the rest works from there. Then people will get a far clearer idea of who you are, and so whatever you do will be covered by an ethic and feeling. This helps for me because I very likely will not end up with one job, one thing I "do", but a real idea of why I do the things I choose will link them all. |
I love communicating and learning how to connect with all different types of people. I used to be painfully shy and fearful of people's responses to me, so now it's really fun to develop this and challenge myself. But maybe that's also the reason why I find it quite easy to alter my communication style to suite different peoples needs and situations trying to fit in. In fact at some points too easy, I tend to at some points lose my sense of self or overview of a situation because I merge too much. I had thought this to be a bad thing but I am starting to see it as a skill so long as I am conscious of what I am doing, and really want to develop my communication more. How can I develop this to put it to best use? Hm, I need some resources...
Resources
Resources for connecting with people and developing leadership skills
I have mixed up the memes and observed myself changing through spiral dynamics in the past few months. This is a potential resource to develop communication that is open and able to see the bigger picture. Click here to see my journey in this, but the short of it is that I see people a lot more clearly now for their atributes, whatever walk of life they are, and being able to spot these healthy elements of others can be very useful to connecting people to each other, their environment and empowerment. I am excitied about this, and I think it may be useful to learn the memes and memorise how to connect with these people for best effect.

Books
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" This book has been recommended to me by lots of people, I realise it's been around for a long time but, I'm hesitant because of the title! But it is about having sincerity, so I'll give it a read. Other books for refrence "More indoor and theatre games" "Mentoring and coaching" "Discovering Nature awareness" "Presence, How to use positive energy for success" Amazing, I love this because it is written by a theatre coach. It comines my passion for performance, the reason why I love it is that it brings you into now, full on, intense now with audience and others. Amazing. So this will be a great tool for developing my interactions. Here's a little video by Patsy, what a woman. |
The insights wheel. I was told about this when I was being a shift manager at a pub, I think it may be useful to see where I fit on it and what kind of people I work well with...and how.
Question now is, what resources do I have?
Theory- Books see above personality and communication tools People- Friends with leadership insight Other artists Permaculture forums, people and places Communities- Lewes, plot, shop etc to offer events Knowledge- My learnings of theatre and connection games from uni A bit of savings to do some courses? Networks On line People who know people |
And what do I need?
People- Mentors Opportunities- To practice leadership skills Web resourcesThere are lots of resources online, including many blogs by people who want to share their knowledge. For example on the left is a slideshow by a lady called Sacha from a blog called Living an awesome life
|
Boundaries?
Bounderies are my fertile edges and also barriers
I have a lot of choices and new areas I could spread myself into
What courses to take
Where to visit / volunteer…(caution, has to be productive exchange)
Who to contact
Shadow
Choice also:
What to find work as that would add into my repertoire healthily for the long term
Who’s doing similar things I can see and build ideas
Social business, how to push my communication skills
A fertile edge could be seen in my creativity and eagerness to use this more in my working life. Developing leadership skills in conjuncion with this would give lots of energy to this design I think.
Possible barriers
Some barriers may be:
Confidence
Time- I have taken on quite a lot- can I stack functions?
Right opportunities
Evaluate
I have found from observing that I am inclined to a more flexible, emotional and creative way of leading, so I need to find elements in my learning that support that. Learn ways of leading that use the people I lead as the stimulus.
I work well in structures, and am limited for time as need to make some money, so if I can stack these leadership learning experiences with income that would be perfect. (i.e- a job or traineeship)
Working on my own wouldn't work for this project, and I learn well from following example so I need to find some people and places that I can visit, shadow, interview etc and learn through that.
And on that note, treat this as a serious project that I have been set, -research and development. Because I won't get this chance to approach people under the studying banner again in a while....

Design
This design follows the pattern of a river or flowing fractal. A journey through visits and learning placed in time to build towards a catalogue of skills and experiences in leadership. This, I hope, will lead to my ability to run workshops, and work well with groups of people in a way that I can share ideas of permaculture.
The aim of this design is to plan in little activities that are easy to achieve but that fit together to build into a more solid whole. Learning from doing, documenting my findings, looking at others way of working etc. In this way I hope to create strenght by using a diverse method of learning. I need to keep a long term vision in my mind of the impacts of what I do here on my learning and career. Energy can be lost if I go about imputting into lots of different experiences but the out puts of them are few or lost.
The three ethics are important in this design
Earth care -understanding of self and other, access to this can very much come through creativitiy, and I think this is totally necescary in order to develop a concern for why we need to look after our home-earth. Empowerment and wonder.
People care- I want people to be able to experience connection and togetherness as apposed to what we get in soceiety at the moment. Individualism and fear! And this feeds right back into earth care.
Fare share- I dont have monetary resources, but I do have a surplus of compassion and ability to use my mind and body for creativity. And an urge to work with people. I want to develop this urge into an ability. If I can develop that there is a change I can offer to both over and under privileged people at a cost that they can afford.

Reading
I will be reading: How to Win Friends and Infulence People by Dale Carnegie Presence by Patsy Rodenberg I will also be dipping into lots of other books that I have and have been suggested by my mentors. This will be placed a few hours a week- bath time is good... Mentorship By acquiring mentors to help me with my own projects I aim to gain support and learn from them not only about leadership and how to work with people but also about good methods of guidence and support that I could in turn give others. Open Sesame Perfectly timed, I got a place as a trainee artist on a project called Open Sesame. This runs from November to March, I will learn how to use my art for in early years settings, work under a mentor and attend creative sessions with the other trainees and lead artists. And get paid, perfect! This will be a great step on to the ladder of working with people. Education An important strand of learning leadership skills is to acquire some education, as I work well with this...but then to transfere what I have learned into active situations. As part of the Open Sesame project I have the option to do an arts award, so I am pursuing this. It involves developing my own art practice to involve a new skill, I have chosen leadership. And then to organise an artistic event. This will interconnect with this project. I also have options of training abroad which I must research into. Organise an informal event This is a good chance to start to understand leadership with adults and prepare for organising a larger event. I really would like to organise a woman's evening to show The Moon Inside You, share and meet people. This event could also happen at the garden, or give a talk about permaculture... Learn from others This means contacting and meeting people, seeing shows, going to events, and asking people about how they work. There are already companies I like...someone put me on to these guys, Tea Dance for Little People... Create a toolkit Summerise what I have found from research, others and my own experience and create a toolkit of supporting reseources that are known to work for leadership with people. This can be physical- My suitcase full of stuff! Theoretical- a list of games, activities, general leadership principals, communication ideas Research Spend some time researching into potential pathways to follow with art, permaculture and now leadership skills. How can this form into a more long term pathway? How have other people done it/got into it? Artistic Event This combines my learning about leadership, working with people and art. It is a requirement of the arts award, so that will give me the push I need. I will organise to lead a workshop or event, free, or pay what you can...there are lots of decisions to be made about this! Where next? This is the Maintain, Evaluating and Tweaking stage: looking back at what I have done how can I maintain this learning, how well have I done and what can I do to continue to initiate more leadership opportunities? |

Implement
Over the coming weeks this area and the appendix will fill with documents of how I have implemented my design...this is just the start!
Reading
I have read How to Win Friends and Influence People. It was massively useful and there are skills in it that work amazingly well. I have remembered the main principals that feel the most important to me and have been using them as much as possible. Most useful: Smile Develop a genuine interest in other people Be of honest and sinceare appreciation Really understand what it is the other person wants Talk in terms of their interests Remember their name, it's the sweetest sound to them As a wise person once said: "you get more with sugar than you do with salt" So true. |
I've been given this, and recommended to read:
The Foundation stage forum Look up Gail Ryder Richardson The Learning Brain Cultivating Creativity Tina Bruce Emmotional intelligence- Daniel Goleman |
Mentorship
I have been lucky to have a leading artist mentor as part of the open sesame project for six months. Jane has lots of experience working creatively with children and adults and it has been a real support having her to guide me. At the beginning her input was a lot and I asked many questions, we started to really work very fluidly together with creative ideas, me using fresh eyes and her using experience.
We had check in sessions in which we would spend time just us, as well as working together in the settings and having really fluid ideas and problem sharing through emails and phone calls.
Much of what I have learned about leading work with early years has been through her, ideas of The Wave, Reggio approach, drip feeding, craft, possibility thinking, following the lead of those you are working with, tool kit and more. Developing a way of thinking that is outside or aware of the situation, whilst maintaining leadership has been something I have seen from her and has been quite a tricky one to learn. I will include details of all this in my appendix. Jane has a great knowledge of resources and has given me lots of good things to look at at the right times.
Mostly her positivity and caring and genuine excitement about creativity with children is really inspiring. She doesn't get too hung up on anything, linger, so to speak. I guess attachment isn't a thing that occurs in this kind of work because everything comes and goes quite quickly. It has been great to have a female mentor who I really respect and I am on the look out for another. Although the project has nearly finished I think we have created such a bond that we would always try to help each other out.

Open Sesame
In a few weeks it will be the end of the project so I will include evaluations on leadership and feedback from the placements.
Interestingly in this project I have learned a lot about collaborating with adults as well. Having the opportunity to work along side three very different nursery practitioners has really developed my collaborative skills. Sometimes people may be nervous, over-dominant, or not so eager to listen etc etc, everyone is different, but this has given me a chance to adapt my communication in a way that will bring out the best from them and me FOR the situation...in this case the children. I have found through this project that actually I thought the children would be difficult but it is actually getting through the barriers of the grown ups and myself to be able to be creatively effective with the children. Things I have found to be effective tools are:
Clear communication- sending emails just before the event to say what I will be doing and ask if in their unique position they can support this, ask for their help
Point out what they are good at with honesty- these people are proud of their work/nursery and it's good to hear praise for it
Be genuinely interested in their needs...it makes it easier for me to explore mine and the children's.
Don't mess people around and dont overload them either. Be trustworthy and independent but engaged.
More to follow soon on my evaluation on making workshops for children...

Learning from others
I have started to see more shows, to get inspiration and experience (but already sooo inspired!) The reviews of these are in the appendix. The video on the right is really worth watching, it is about "how to build your creative confidence" He speaks of small steps to get through a fear of judgement, which is really what I have encountered in the nurserey leaders. They see creativity as right or wrong, good or bad, you either have it or you dont. And worse still, some of the children already feel this. This is a really nice stimulus for me to employ additive prototyping, design thinking and observation to create ways that create a series of small steps to help people unlearn these fears. Helping people to retrieve their creative confidence can do amazing things for people. Not about being 'the artist' but to lead people in creating together. This is what I feel very passionate about. |
Create a toolkit
I have my suitcase! Lovely, I'll start building a list of what works. Meanwhile...this is a very useful thing to have as part of it, it's a sort of evaluation form for workshops, it's been working really well for me, I then share it with the practitioners.
|
Research
I was invited to an Open Space event with many artists, people from the arts council, theatres etc to talk about family friendly theatre, (it's part of a new government initiative) It was a really interesting day, meeting people and learning about how to make theatre accessable to families. I'll include the feedback from this ASAP...needless to say, a really useful experience, I met a lot of great people.

Artistic Event
It's interesting, for the arts award we've been given this template for a 'systematic approach' to organising events, which is incredibly similar to the permaculture design cycle...I think it will help me begin to ask questions and design my way into the event. Luckily I have used stacking functions to team up with a fellow trainee and we will be delivering a series of workshops together. This means I will get experience of doing this but it will be half the work for both of us and our CVs and confidence in our abilities in this area will both benefit. |
Insights Wheel
I plotted myself on this to see what kind of person I am in groups/working environment. It is very interesting, and by looking on here I can also plot the ideal person to work with. Someone similar to me wouldn't be a very useful team as together we wouldn't naturally cover all bases so we would have to work harder, or things may be lacking. So people I would work best with would be someone who finds it easy to conduct people and projects, to persuade people to be involved etc, someone who likes to implement my and their ideas and likes to co-ordinate. This person may be more of a strong-willed 'red' person. This is a useful little bit of info to remember! |
Where next?
This question will be answered mostly towards the end of implementation, but here's a thing...
Jane gave me these books to look at that have been made by workshop leaders and artists after their event to creatively document an experience which was more about experiential creativity rather than final product. I like them because they have to present themselves in a fun way that represents quite an un-linier journey. It calls to muy mind the graphic design of David Carson (but for a younger audience!) and reminds me how much I love to document with photos and placement of text. I have many photos of the Open Sesame project, I think it would be beneficial for me to create some books, I can give them to the nurseries but also show people the work I have done

Now that open sesame is drawing to a close it is time to corrolate what I have done with what I want to do and start putting myself in positions where I can make that happen...applying for jobs I have to unlearn the subconcious voice of my parents which pushes me to just go for any job because I 'can' do it. I need to stay aware in this and persue work that I want and that enables me to use my skills and nature to be of most benefit. I have to remember that playing it safe is actually a rather selfish thing to do, as Martin Luther-King pointed out...
Next Achievable steps...
Artistic event- start to think about where, for who, who will be part of it/what help do I need etc
Read read!
Look at insights wheel- what types of people are good to collaborate with?
Look for people to interview, meet etc, learn from others
Start to research what routes I can go down when Open Sesame is finished
Get a nice notebook for my toolkit
I dont think it is appropriate to do the process review just yet! x
