Presence

The authors' previous work is in large-scale learning, change, and scenario building through storytelling. Their joint effort in this book forms a new theory of 'presence'--a holistic state of awareness in the present while also listening to the past an imagining the future. Seven capacities of the Presencing U Movement can lead to sweeping changes in organizations or societies: 1) suspending old habits, 2) redirecting awareness from the past, 3) letting go, 4) letting come--being open to new possibilities, 5) crystallizing--envisioning the new, 6) prototyping, and 7) institutionalizing--embodying the new.
