“Life is a long journey between human being and being human.
Let’s take at least one step each day to cover the distance”

The Bigger Picture
Beyond the practical, technical and rational there is an ever-present connecting field of our shared humanity. This is the field that as leaders, coaches, coach supervisors and people professionals, we now need to fully occupy and embody to support our clients in our VUCA world.
In response to this call, Elaine Patterson has designed the “The 7Cs: The 7 Human Capacities for Change, Learning and Transformation”.
Origins
Elaine has defined the 7 core human capacities and qualities of Care, Courage, Curiosity, Compassion, Connection, Creativity and Contemplation as a foundational and life long journey. These create the space and spaciousness in which professionals thrive, change and flourish. We can then role model these for the clients whom we serve.
These key capacities have been crafted in the heat of Elaine’s own life and work and are grounded in her research into reflection and reflective learning. They specifically address the stresses and strains of working in our VUCA world. This is a powerful new navigational map that enables us to bring our shared humanity to work. A map to help us to underpin our humanness: WHO we are, WHO we are becoming, HOW we work, WHAT we role model and the DIFFERENCES we can make – large or small – to the world through our work.
Your Invitation
Elaine invites leaders, coaches, HR and OD professionals and people practitioners to join a small supervision group to explore how you can bring more of these qualities to life for yourself, your teams and for your work.
Using the navigational points of the 7 C’s, we will support your personal and professional inquiry and follow our shared curiosities. Drawing from your own reflections, case studies, stories, and journaling, we shall explore together. We shall immerse ourselves in the creative, energizing, inspiring and connecting frontier field of our shared humanity in order to enrich ourselves and to deepen our work.
