Human Nature is the regenerative practice of coach and consultant Al Kennedy. Creating and holding ‘spaces’ for men to navigate the inner and outer landscapes of your professional and personal life.
“The most exciting breakthroughs of the 21st century will not occur because of technology, but because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human.” — John Naisbitt
As a coach, I work with the human being (not just the human doing). I support individuals, business leaders, creative innovators, business activists and social entrepreneurs; who are looking for support in finding a deeper connection and purpose through their work.
We live in complex and confusing times. Now more than ever, the calling is for men to confront our ‘shadows’ , reconnect our human nature and embody the regenerative qualities our world so urgently needs for healing.
Around the globe, ecological destruction, biodiversity loss, war and unfettered industrialisation has marched in unison affecting massive social inequities. As we become more awakened in understanding that the exploitative systems of this unjust violence, are perpetuated in the main (although not only), by privileged white men in the Global North.
It is abundantly clear that the ‘stories’ of separation and the dominant patriarchal control which accelerated us into the multi-crises world we inhabit, are simply not evolved enough to guide us towards what Joanna Macy calls 'The Great Turning’.
We need to radically shift to a heartfelt awareness and rebalance our disconnected and destructive reality toward regenerative futures. To embrace what it means to become better men, good elders and ancestors for both human and non-human relations.
Human-led transformation is about believing in our capacity to adopt new behaviours, and coaching can help to intentionally design the conditions to make change possible in service of a higher purpose.
As a privileged white cisgender man, I am very much on this journey too. So, I do hope we can work together and I can be in service to you.
Warmly, Al
