Play. Tell. Be. Postures for Leading and Living Well

Description

Sarah Agnew has facilitated community gathering since her earliest days playing recorder in church. What is it that others have seen and felt that they choose to follow, or join, Sarah; they ask Sarah to lead them? Sarah trusts a playful process, that ‘failure’ is discovery, even delight. Sarah tells Sacred and human stories: listens deeply to our stories. Sarah is learning to trust in presence, Sacred Presence, and the simple and profound gift of turning up to be with each other. When the dominant voices around her celebrated leadership as charisma-driven in a CEO style, Sarah knew herself to be an artist, creative, alternative. And when chronic pain and illness continued to feature, Sarah knew herself to need a slower, gentler, pace to the way she would lead, would live. In Play. Tell. Be. Postures for leading and living well, Sarah shares stories of exploration, experience, and endurance, to encourage us into our own attentive and authentic living. Playfully, with creativity, this book tells a story of becoming, of developing a Rule of Sacred Presence that enables its practitioner to embody her life’s mantra: we are fully human only together.
