The world is facing many global challenges, such as: climate change, poverty, unclean air – to name a few – and the UN has developed “Sustainable Development Goals” for the world community to address these challenges.
A group of people has created the “Inner Development Goals” (IDGs) which focus on “cultivating inner capacities such as empathy, resilience and critical thinking – in order to address global challenges.”
My podcast guest, Coach and Rabbi Simcha Zevit, created the Global IDG Coaches Network to bring coaches together to explore how they can integrate the IDGs into their practice and into our lives. For her, the key question is:
How do we pay attention to our inner and relational life in order to make the kinds of changes in this world that we want to see?
This isn’t just a theoretical question, as Simcha shared: I feel the emotion coming up just talking about it, like, we need to – something has to happen here, something has to shift. It’s like a consciousness shift.
The emotion, she explained, is a “sadness and yearning for something different.”
Hmmm – I’m curious if that’s a shared sentiment, and if it is: What do we do with the sadness and yearning?
