Ira Mollay about an encouraging space for change. In today’s episode, we talk with Ira Mollay, Chief Encouraging Officer and Founder of the Mutmacherei, about what fascinates her with Solution Focus, about the Mutmacherei and how it started with the good news initiative, and about focusing on progress towards a preferred future for the world. Ira shares some of the initiatives that go into that direction, her preferred future, and her contribution as chief encouraging officer directing the attention to what is already working. She talks about the „Mut in the City“-walks and how seeing positive initiatives encourages people to participate, her „soil“ metaphor, and how to contribute to a fertile common ground. Check out how Ira’s space fascination – iridium flares, iridium satellites, orbital mechanics, the overview effect and more – informs her practice, how you can apply space metaphors in coaching, and the differences her space knowledge makes for her and the Mutmacherei. Ira stresses that there is beauty to be found everywhere and that it needs practice to see it. Let’s try that out with the challenge of the week: „Go out into the world and notice what you notice. What captures your attention? And then consciously try to spot the positive things and find the beautiful things.” The post SFP 80 – Looking up: An Encouraging Space for Change with Ira Mollay appeared first on SF on tour.

Circle 00008 (r=4): Courage. Why don’t we design what we know?Designers are, in principle, part of a “courageous” profession: they are constantly searching for alternatives, bringing about new things through their creativity and treading unfamiliar paths.We have long known that the sustainable development of our society is only possible through a course change in our lifestyle habits and designed offerings.Particularly in a discipline such as classic product design, where the customer is the industry, it is difficult even in times of economic difficulty and high competition to transform oneself from a pure service provider into an emancipated, courageous partner to the customer and propose sustainable solutions.So what does courage mean in the context of Design for Sustainability?
