Highly Relational Team: Launch Week Mini-Series - Episode #1/3
Hosted by Anni Townend with guest Robert Digings
In this first episode of our special mini-series, Highly Relational Team, we begin with the first half of the model: the Personal Process - how each individual shows up in the team - as a human, colleague and leader.
Guest host Anni Townend interviews Robert Digings about the three core elements at the heart of the Personal Process: Awareness, Congruency and Contribution - exploring how these practices shape presence, deepen relationship and transform the quality of leadership.
In this conversation, Robert shares:
• The foundational value of Awareness to all personal and leadership development
• How the inner work of Congruency supports insight into ourselves and others
• Why Contribution is more about offering yourself than offering expertise
• That being is more important than doing in all developmental work
• How the present moment is full of possibility, awe and mystery
You’ll also hear how the double overlaps - Insight (Awareness + Congruency) and Immediacy (Awareness + Contribution) — support the development of Presence, the outcome of the Personal Process and the basis of relational leadership.
To close, Robert offers a simple practice to begin strengthening your own presence this week: Give a third of your attention back to yourself - to breath, body and inner experience.
In the next episode we move from self to system, exploring the Team Process and how Belonging, Connection and Commitment weave the fabric of Unity.
🎙️ Coming soon:
A roundtable discussion with four experienced practitioners on what really makes teams come to life, a look ahead to next year, and an Ask Me Anything episode where Robert answers listener questions.
