Christine McDougalls value offering

Christine is a founding partner of ‘The Constellation’, a global guild of incomparable thought leaders, practitioners and institutions who partner with organisations and enterprises committed to systemic change in their unending quest to create better, more sustainable futures for all.

Christine McDougalls value contribution includes;

*a personal commitment to her own integrity, and to supporting the integrity in people, relationships, enterprises, artifacts and systems, macro and micro, in all domains, without exception. She holds herself to account, and is open to be held to account. She speaks truth to power in a way that adds value to all. She teaches others to speak their own truth in support of the highest level of integrity available.

*the ability to perceive and understand the world at a systemic level, and to address our most pressing issues from this place first and foremost. In so doing, she challenges people to shift their own perspective, inviting a comprehensive and considered response to all actions and designs.

*a commitment to allowing for the emergence of natural design in all projects and relationships, respecting all stake-holders in the unfolding process. In implementation, the ability to continually let go of egocentric ‘self’ needs, collaborating with others and with what needs to emerge. Open to being called on any possible egocentric needs that may become present.

*a desire, motivated by curiosity and respect, to seek deep understanding of people and systems. From understanding, Christine has the ability to translate the complex into a simple narrative without loosing the integrity of the original, allowing complex thinking to become ever more accessible to ever more people without being reductionistic.

*showing up as fully human, without pretense or artifice. To be vulnerable, imperfect, not have all the answers, or know all the ‘right’ questions. To be moved by emotion in all shades, from anger to love, willing to embrace all. To not be intimidated by power, or the perception of power. To accept her failings with grace.

*endurance, in the spiritual, physical, emotional and universal domains. Christine is a warrior, and expresses this through deep passion for her work, for the success of all of humanity and for truth. Physically, she is an endurance athlete, having run many marathons and ultra marathons around the world. She understands endurance of spirit, the conscious choice to stay in integrity against all odds. As a single parent, she understands and has integrated the solo journey, recognising its strengths and limitations, as well as its illusions.

*staying in the larger conversations occurring globally, including in the domains of politics, economics, pop culture, business, science and spirituality. Christine does this via reading, listening, and deep dialogue. Her commitment to her own learning and understanding of the historical, current and future events allows her to synthesise the many and diverse into coherence and relevance, revealing the pattern integrity in so doing. As such she has a strong sense of the emergent future. She is visionary in her approach to the future, seeing possibility and plenty, deeply respecting the ingenuity and resourcefulness of humankind.

*innovation of thought and action. Christine is a pioneer and rebel, unafraid to question current and historical models of business, economics, governance and relationships. She does this to support a more integrally informed future.

*being motivated by an intention to serve the success of all of humanity that transcends self.

In her blog Christine shares with an open heart, her experience of a life path centred around integrity, speaking of her challenges and fears, her lessons and reflections. She also writes for her web site, Positive Deviant, exploring how the world needs positive deviance - a different level of thinking – in order to support the success of humanity.
