July 2022
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” – Victor Frankl
Time to celebrate!
Time to hit the beach, lake, park, or backyard and enjoy a BBQ with family and friends.
So, what do we celebrate? From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American Independence. On this day, we remember the country’s fight for freedom and celebrate with friends, family, food, and fun.
Happy Birthday, USA !!!
This week, let’s celebrate! Let’s have fun but also pay attention to what the word “freedom” means and what it allows us to do. In a polarized country and a polarized world, we can still find our center. We can find common ground for conversations, starting from dignity, respect, and regard for others. I chose these three words from Dan Newby’s book, Emotional Literacy.
Dignity means feeling worthy, deserving of respect, and protecting personal boundaries; the related emotions are respect and honor/regard. These emotions open us, allowing us to create a safe space for each of us and the conversation with the other. What do they mean to you? What role do they play in your everyday life?
Let’s think of how we can protect our values and boundaries as well as others and speak and act from our hearts.
No matter what we believe in, we can still stand for our values, but let’s rise above the challenges and come together with our hearts open, with our minds open, and have conversations, despite feeling angry, sad, and lost…. our hearts open… I believe this is the way… the only way.

As many of you have reached out and asked to be hosts in a “Dojo Space,” where learning together with the rest of the community takes place, we have combined both conversations into one. We will be offering one Community Conversation a month starting in July. Therefore, the Community of Practice for the third year and alumni will not take place on the third week, but we will continue with the conversation on the first Thursday of every month.
We want to work on some new offers for the Alumni Community and are always open to suggestions, so please don’t hesitate and reach out to me if you have any. We love to hear from you. Your voice is important!! You can contact me at vfacci@generateleadership.co
Many thanks to Duane Spivey for hosting a powerful conversation on the vision of the Generative Leader. We had an intimate group that allowed us to go deeper into knowing, doing, and being and what skills are needed for each. We looked at the different stages of learning, from the unconscious and incompetent to mastery, and how this plays an important role in our conversation. Thank you, Karen, for bringing this to the table. It was a profound discussion on what the generative leader pays attention to create a shared future of meaning, satisfaction, and value with others. Thank you, Duane, and all those who participated. We definitely want to hear more on this topic!
