i.d.lumination – shining the light on the power of our humanness

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

We grow up believing that all the scary, bad things happen in the dark – the monsters in all the stories live there after all. As adults we keep that fear alive in our own personal and professional narratives- we have skeletons in the dark recesses of our closets, and we avoid looking at the shadow-y sides of ourselves. BUT…did you know that a lot of growth happens there as well?

The great connective tissue of the earth – mycelium – use the dark to create transformation, facilitate ecosystem communication and more!
Valleys – which are associated with our darkest times – are historically places of connection, community, life, growth, fertility and abundance!
That despite being buried underground, tree roots are able to perceive light and this transmission and light/dark collaboration triggers growth!

Learning to play in – instead of fear – the dark is the key to embracing and accepting our whole selves and to changing our lives, our workplaces, our businesses, our communities and the world.

Hiding who we are hurts us, others and our organizations. By understanding our full story - the good, the bad, and the ugly - we get to bring our full selves to all we do to make an impact.

Allowing vulnerability, emotion and the human condition into the workplace is no longer a nice idea…it is an imperative to the new norm. Today’s organizations and their leaders need to be able develop and maintain cultures of acceptance that not only minimize workplace trauma but are designed to address existing employee trauma as well while maximizing the benefit of our unique designs and individual lived experiences to create value for every individual and entity.

The i.d.lumination approach uses the i.d.lumination framework, Jungian Archetypes, the work of Carol Pearson (who brought the archetypes to the modern business world), the VIA Character Strengths Classification, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and other psychometric and personality-based systems, and our proven processes to help individuals, teams, and businesses shine a light on the power of our humanness to improve today’s workplaces and how we work in them.
