In this lively session, global thought leader, facilitator and consultant Michelle Holliday will help us see how the Zebra movement is part of a larger shift in the human story, from an extractive, mechanistic worldview to a deeper alignment with life. With this understanding, we find guidance from “life’s universal design principles” as we shape our projects and organizations.

Lana and Veronica, will join Michelle to explore this topic on Thrivability: A Framework for Regenerative Leadership where she will share a powerful, comprehensive framework that will help you get to not just profitability, productivity and sustainability, but “thrivability.”

In the last 30 minutes, we will switch gears and we will get to know each other through an Online Networking with a SPIN.

This event is organized by Zebras Unite: Amsterdam Chapter, in collaboration with SPIN Ideas.

As a consultant, facilitator, researcher and globally recognized thought leader, Michelle Holliday’s work centers around “thrivability” — a set of perspectives and practices based on a view of organizations and communities as dynamic living systems. On this basis, she supports pioneering, purpose-driven clients across a wide range of sectors, including tourism, agriculture and education, to enable the transition to more regenerative systems and structures. Specifically, Michelle brings people of diverse perspectives together to uncover shared aspirations, tap into their collective intelligence, and allow innovative responses to emerge.

With a Master’s Degree in International Marketing, she brings a diverse experience base to this work. She spent the first part of her career in brand strategy, working internationally for Coca-Cola and H.J. Heinz. The second part of her career focused on employee engagement and organizational development, consulting for a range of organizations in Washington, DC. More recently, as part of the global Art of Hosting community of practice, she has designed and hosted hundreds of strategic conversations, from 5 to 500 people. Now, after living in 19 cities, including Moscow, London, Paris, New York and a small tourist town in Scotland, she combines brand strategy, employee and stakeholder engagement, hosting and more in her home base of Montréal and around the world.

Michelle’s research, perspectives and practical experience are brought together in the highly acclaimed book, The Age of Thrivability: Vital Perspectives and Practices for a Better World. She frequently delivers keynotes globally, including two popular TEDx talks. And she has written close to 100 articles on themes of thrivability and regeneration.
