As we are starting a new decade, the Presencing Institute and 300 selected teams are preparing for the kick-off of u.lab 2x at the end of February 2020. In the lead-up to this part of PI’s annual cycle in the context of the Societal Transformation Lab, we’ve been sharing many stories of u.lab-S teams from 2019 for inspiration. Last week, we sat down with u.lab-S Alumna and co-founder of the Leadership Festival (LSF), Karolina Iwa, to listen to her team’s story.
Before she joined u.lab-S, Karolina had been a returning student in the u.lab 1x course with many of her LSF colleagues. She recalled: “We joined the first u.lab in 2015 and this is when we started working with emergence. It gives you the freedom to really follow what you sense is needed. Learning what is emerging and how we might best serve it, has been our guiding question from the beginning.”
Coming from Poland and having lived in Berlin for 15 years, Karolina shared about the roots of the Leadership Festival and how she came to join u.lab-S (this year renamed as u.lab 2x):
“It was completely life-changing for the Leadership Festival. I can say that with this perspective of one year on.”
