Regenerate X - Dare for Peace
Changing our intentions, thoughts and language for new world leadership
As Regenerate X we are committed to addressing global challenges with systemic awareness, re-design and simple practical applications to transform everyday leadership in life and work.
When we chose “Dare” as the superpower of February and our transformation session as the “language of connection”, focusing on peace, growing horizontal relationships and our unity as a community of life of earth, we did not foresee the situation in Ukraine.
We are holding all those affected by the ongoing war in our hearts right now. Especially children, who have the right to live, to play and to grow in peace. How can we expect to grow forests when we burn the seeds? How can we call ourselves leaders of humanity if we chose not to step out of this fight, using all of our superpowers - even for the lives of our children?
We are sending love and supporting energy to all the people in the world who are going through challenges right now. We stand together in solidarity, respecting and honouring each individual’s sovereignty.
Peace is, when we are.
We invite you to dare for Peace. End war wherever you can, whether it is in your thoughts, language, relationships or the way you feel right now, it is our superpower to dare to change for peace.
Please take at least 10 min. today to reflect, on where and when you fall away from peace and take steps towards peace, little or big. Only when we dare to see our role in what we don’t like, we can change both ourselves and our collective reality, for many generations to come. There is no leadership without taking responsibility of what is going on in ourselves and in our immediate relationships.
The level of consciousness that conducts us to war is a type of thought and behaviour from the past that no longer serves us as humanity. We are at the beginning of the next big transition, moving away from the old industrial story and inherent belief systems into a new story of regenerative and technological abundance.
What is next? Can the old patriarchal ego-driven role(s) still outcompete and survive in this transition? Or are we on the threshold of a world where citizens, despite media manipulation, can see the irrelevance of it all and emerge as the new world out of the seeds of trust, cooperation, contribution, community and abundance? We are committed to co-create the latter. And we are hopeful, as we witness the daring talk of the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, with his language of connection and inviting everyday people to stand up for their values for life.
"We’ll see how our modern society has been consciously designed to sabotage our well-being, and how, by learning and applying life’s own principles, we can build an alternative civilisation that could allow future generations to prosper on a flourishing Earth." - Jeremy Lent (The Web of Meaning)
Please reach out to us if you would like to bring your leadership and brand language to align with your truth, and your truth with the peaceful values and regenerative principles of the emerging world.

Be a catalyst, not a planner
Trust and let go (distribute authority, lean on others, curate talent, build partnerships)
Be an explorer
Be courageous
Be present (self-aware, empathic, vulnerable, adept storyteller)
Live values with conviction

Feeling distressed at work? It might be more than burnout
Many workers are feeling intense distress and quitting in droves. The root cause might be something else: moral injury.
Preliminary data from this ongoing research indicate that, conservatively, the experience of at least 25% of those reporting feeling burned out might be better explained by moral injury.
Injurious events may fall into three categories:
Transgressions by others (e.g., managers, coworkers, or clients);
Transgressions individuals committed themselves;
Betrayal—feeling that managers, colleagues, or policymakers had betrayed occupational values, employees, or clients/customers/students/patients.

GENdR: WATER
Why now is not the time to deprioritise your DE&I strategy
In a recent poll, prioritising Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) was the lowest-rated workplace trend of 2022 when rated against other pressing and timely trends, such as embedding hybrid working, retaining and upskilling talent. One could argue that as we face the great resignation and the ending of Covid restrictions, DE&I is less important or urgent. However, we propose that now is the time to take an integrated perspective on the role that your DE&I strategy can play in addressing the pertinent workforce trends of today.

The Metaverse: What It Is, Where to Find it, and Who Will Build It
If there’s anything you want to learn or understand about the Metaverse, read Matthew Ball’s essays on the topic.
He wrote the mother of all Metaverse essays in January 2020. In June 2021, he released a nine-part update, 'The Metaverse Primer'.
“The visions, technologies, and capabilities I’ve described above still feel like science fiction – even if they come to be, they’re decades away. At the same time, many of the pieces are starting to come together. Thus, the questions are ones of who and why and to which ends. And so, it’s helpful to return to the (lengthy) creation of the World Wide Web. Imagine if instead of being designed by nonprofits and technologists looking to share research files and messages, it was designed to sell ads or collect user data for profits.”

DAOism: ETHER
A couple of months ago GUCCI launched its experimental concept store called Gucci Vault and started a multi-directional exploration spanning digital realms, experimental creativity, NFTs and other Web3-based wonders.
SUPERGUCCI is a three-part series of ultra-limited NFTs co-created by Gucci's Creative Director Alessandro Michele and synthetic artists Janky & Guggimon.
With a Discord server at its core, dedicated teams and true business models, the experiment is shaking digital and brand strategies. GUCCI is actually actively recruiting talents, specifically dedicated to Discord.
Read Laurent François’ deep-diving into The Vault article.
“The launch of the Vault is therefore not only a communication exercise and a profound shift in the way communities of customers and passionate creators are handled. It is an exercise at the crossroad of PR, content marketing, operations, branding, product development, finance etc.
It opens exciting playgrounds for brands to test and learn; it embraces very large cultural and consumption territories while applying a prototyping methodology.”
