nect is what we do when we connect.
With others, with ourselves, with life.
nect is the antidote to toxic behavior.
We won’t get innovation, resilience, and sustainable lives within toxic relationships. It’s high time to learn and spread detox skills. And to bring them to life, center-stage.
Healthy relationships at work and at home are the key to healthy development, from sustainability, digitalization and social cohesion to leadership, education, and family life.
nect institute is a place to learn, spread and research detox skills. nect institute builds awareness, skills and capacity for healthy connectedness and better relationships to ourselves, to others and to the planet, at work and at home.
nect promotes emotional relationship competencies in ways that are joyful, effective, and engaging. To inspire healthy connectedness and aliveness at work, at home, and in society. To build organic capacity for sustainable change from within.
Without understanding relationship, any plan of action will only breed conflict.
(Jiddu Krishnamurti, 1895–1986).
Humans are not machines, and recipes based on mechanical, linear thinking often only lead us deeper into discord.
As in any system, there's at least two sides to tension. Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory and Positive Psychology offer approaches to deeper awareness and healthy intuition and dialogue.
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
(Albert Schweitzer, 1875–1965)
As visionaries, leaders, colleagues, politicians, spouses, parents, children, mediators, coaches, business partners or friends, we cannot avoid the tensions that naturally emerge from distinctive perspectives.
Dealing with conflict needs capacities that we can all grow into: E.g. to separate out what is different, and to integrate it on a higher level. To discern different needs, and to learn that we are not our feelings. To find peace in connecting with with our own deeper needs, and with each other's.
Everything exists for a purpose: only by making sense of what happens we can truly find root causes and deal with them.
