A roadmap for integrating mindfulness into every aspect of social
change: how to lead transformation with compassion for the needs
and perspectives of all people. Gretchen Steidle knows first-hand
the personal transformation that mindfulness practice can bring.
But she doesn't believe that transformation stops at personal
wellbeing. In Leading from Within, Steidle describes the ways that
personal investment in self-awareness shapes leaders who are able
to inspire change in others, build stronger relationships, and
design innovative and more sustainable solutions. Steidle argues
that both personal and societal transformation are essential for a
just society, and with this book she offers a roadmap for
integrating mindfulness into every aspect of social change.
Conventional methods attempt to compel people to change through
incentives or punitive measures. Conscious social change calls for
leading with a deeper human understanding of change and compassion
for the needs and perspectives of all stakeholders. Steidle offers
mindfulness practices for individuals and groups, presents the
neuroscientific evidence for its benefits, and argues for its
relevance to social change. She describes five capacities of
conscious social change, devoting a chapter to each. She writes
about her own experiences, including her work helping women to
found their own grassroots social ventures in post-conflict Africa.
She describes the success of a group of rural, uneducated women in
Rwanda, for example, who now provide 9,000 villagers with clean
water, ending the sexual exploitation of disabled women unable to
collect water on their own. Steidle also draws from the work of
change agents in the United States to showcase applications of
conscious social change to timely issues like immigration, racism,
policing, and urban violence. Through personal stories and
practical guidance, Steidle delivers both the inspiration and tools
of this innovative approach to social transformation. About Global
Grassroots: In post-conflict Africa, Global Grassroots equips
emerging women leaders, including war survivors, subsistence
farmers, and the undereducated, with the tools and resources to
create conscious social change. Our core program is our Academy for
Conscious Change, a social entrepreneurship and mindfulness-based
leadership program that helps vulnerable women design their own
non-profit solutions to address priority social issues. In our
first decade of operations we have trained over 650 change agents
who have designed 150 civil society organizations benefiting over
150,000 people.
