The Many Roles We Play

We often think of roles as fixed: titles, job descriptions, places on the org chart. But in this episode, we explore a radically different view — one inspired by the work of Arnold Mindell and Process Oriented Psychology.Here, roles are fluid. They move between people. They rise and fall depending on what the system needs. Today you’re the visionary. Tomorrow, the skeptic. Sometimes, you hold the energy of joy. Other times, you carry the quiet voice of resistance no one wants to name — but everyone can feel.This episode is an invitation to look beyond personality, beyond habit, beyond identity — and into the deeper field of voices, patterns, and polarities that shape every team, every meeting, every change.Because once you learn to see roles this way, you stop asking, “Why is this person acting like that?” And start asking, “What is the system trying to say — and how can I serve it?”The Orange Twist is hosted by Giovanna D’Alessio, MCC — reflections on leadership, culture, and change for HR professionals and organizational leaders.
