Connection
“It’s really all about how a real sense of connectedness arises with one another and with the world. Without that experience of connectedness, real sensing and presencing won’t occur.”
Peter Senge - Presence

Connection We believe Everything and Everyone is
connected. The capacities help us experience the
connections which exist already. As we experience connection energy is available
to all of us Leadership is about evoking, shaping and
sustaining energy in communities and organizations.

Listening
Listening is the first movement in the energy of Connection.
To listen: to be in direct contact with all that is around you.

The Art of Listening
Healing
The field created by a single person listening invites healing. The field created by a community listening invites miracles.
In the history of humanity our capacity to heal through listening is one of our greatest gifts.

in-Learning
Listening is the first movement in the energy of Connection.
in-Learning is the second movement in the energy of Connection.
![Page 12: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stances Consider there are three common states or stances people,
relationships, teams, communities, and organizations create in-Learning , in-knowing, in-wanting.
The world says it values in-Learning and encourages all of us to be in a constant state of in-wanting.
In-knowing is rewarded over in-Learning , especially for leadership.
When faced with difference – lead with curiosity about the nature of the difference.
![Page 13: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Signposts for Stances
Stances are energetic postures we adopt. As energies they are not fixed and we can
shift and move back and forth with the stances.
We recognize the stance by the qualities present

Inviting
Curiosity
Mutual Influence

The power in a question does not reside in the question.
The power in a question flows from the leader’s intention.
(Leaders and Listening)
![Page 15: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Our Questions Each of us carries a set of questions we use to
navigate in the world. Some of our questions run deeper inside us than
others and take time to make explicit. There are questions of the mind, heart and spirit. Presencing invites us to use questions of the
heart and spirit?
![Page 16: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Our Questions
Total Quality Management 5 Whys? Where is waste? Where is error? What happens at
handoffs?
Systems Thinking What are the delays? What reinforces? What balances? What are unintended
consequences?
Most of our learnings are questions of the Mind.
Presencing invites us to use questions of the heart and spirit.
![Page 17: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Questions of in-Learning What stance are we in as we move?
What is our capacity to invite and hold diversity of thought, feelings, beliefs?
What is our relationship with the energy of curiosity?
I am curious - why am I responding this way?
I am curious – why is he responding this way?
![Page 18: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sensing
Sensing – to understand the nature, the qualities, the patterns and energy present in a situation or set of relationships.
Sensing is a practice of noticing.
Holding the stance of being in-learning opens the door for sensing.
![Page 19: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Questions of Sensing
What is the nature of this situation?
What patterns are present?
If it were a piece of music, a color, a fabric, what would you notice?
Are there wounds? What is their nature?
What is the quality of intention in this situation and in me?
What is my part?
![Page 20: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Presencing
![Page 21: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Emerging
It is easy to miss what is emerging when you are busy trying to shape outcomes.
![Page 22: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Emerging Our traditions point us away from what is emerging.
Leaders are rewarded for creating results by “knowing” and “wanting”
Working with the emerging is a process of joining.
In exploring the emerging we hold children, literally and energetically, as an important part of our considerations.
![Page 23: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Questions of Emerging
What is naturally unfolding?
What is trying to come forth?
What is sustainable?
What does this want to be?
What are we missing?
How are the children and the qualities of children?
We learn to trust that all living systems (organisms) share growth as a natural process and so ask these questions.
![Page 24: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stillness
Stillness invites connection.
Stillness supports listening.
Breathing is the first movement of Stillness.
![Page 25: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Stillness
Our traditions point us away from stillness.
We are rewarded for being in visible movement - doing, fixing, creating, destroying, changing.
Movement - physical, mental, emotional, habits, - shapes relationships.
Familiar patterns of movement Talking, rehearsing Multi-Tasking Problem Solving Directing and following Conflict: defending and
attacking Hiding and pretending
![Page 26: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Questions of Stillness How is the organism in movement?
What does the movement contribute to?
How is the movement of the organism helping or hindering its experience of connection with itself and others?
What is the nature of the organism’s breathing?
What is your relationship with stillness?
![Page 27: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Intention Intention is the most underutilized energetic resource
used by all of us – individuals, leaders, communities.
The nature of intention matters. It defines the nature of the field created. (i.e. create wealth – create sustainability)
We often hold more than one intention.
We can be awake, asleep, or on autopilot to our intentions.
![Page 28: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Realizing
![Page 29: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Questions of Intention What are my intentions?
What is the nature of my / our intentions? (i.e. healing, growth, learning, wealth, comfort, control)
Who benefits? Who is harmed?
How is the intention “shared”?
What is my practice for holding intention?
![Page 30: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Invitation Individuals, teams, organizations, communities all have
invitations.
Invitation is most easily recognized around qualities and requirements. (personal space, influence, inclusion, intimacy, opportunity)
Invitations are often shaped by circumstance, history, rules, norms
There is great opportunity in creating and holding invitations explicitly.
![Page 31: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Questions of Invitation? What is our invitation to the group?
For partnership or for Membership
What are the qualities and images of our invitation?
What is my invitation to speak?
What does our invitation create? Are there unintended consequences?
![Page 32: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Balance Balance is an active
process, not an end state or result.
Much energy is spent holding old forms of balance in new situations.
Letting Go leads to learning new balance points.
Fear leads to imbalance and imbalance leads to fear. This is a cycle.
Balance and healing are frequent companions. The energy of listening invites balance and healing.
Seek out points of imbalance there is much to be learned.
Attend to balance at points of transition, transformation, points of disruption, growth and change.
![Page 33: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Questions of Balance Where in the organism is balance sought?
How is balance being sought?
What is the organism holding on to?
What needs to be honored and let go?
What is absent? What is present?
What gifts are needed? What can I offer?
What is the source of fear?
![Page 34: The Art & Practice of Presencing Developing Individual and Collective Capacity Peter Senge Lorri Lizza Michael Marlowe Omega Institute June 13-15, 2008.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649e4e5503460f94b44c37/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
