014 Steve Onyett Interview Part 2

In Part 2 of this extensive interview Steve Onyett explores his work interests and influences. With a focus on the current challenging and exciting times faced by health and social care services he discusses ideas around leadership, the role that solution focused approaches have played in his practice as well as development of others, and the 'bonkers' nature of the system that has emerged across the last couple of decades. In relation to the priorities of the 'system' the question arises as to whether there is a place for the Sacred Fools to make a real impact? As for the next steps in his journey he explores the importance to him of becoming involved in the 'Way of Council' approach to personal development, and also outlines the true meaning of listening as he explores the idea of 'listening from the heart'. Steve embodies an excellent example of how and why we should honour both our ancestors as great influences on our own development, but also our successors through our care for the planet and the legacy we pass on to the next generation.
