Tool Gallery
A set of tools for co-leaders and is based on and accompanies the research. Each tool complements the ‘Emerging’, ‘Nurturing’ and ‘Evolving’ sections of the research. It is inspired and informed by many other sources and we hope for it to be a live list that grows and evolves as others add to it.
Developing a self & collective care plan
Creating a self and collective care plan is a way to stay accountable to yourself and with your co-lead(s). This plan should be revisited throughout the year, perhaps when you are together in person and can spend time together exploring self-care practices or building rituals.
Diagnosing challenges or what is going wrong
This exercise encourages you to reflect on your own ego through practising self-awareness. It then provides practical prompts to guide you and your co-lead(s) to develop a conflict resolution plan.
