About

This book documents a journey of inner exploration by five self-nominated leaders in education. In contrast to change limited by outer dimensional structure, changing meaning in an inner dimension is seen as the necessary complement in creating real difference in educators and educating. The participants in this project experimented with a changing way of researching, developing a personalised space of changing in which they could truth-test their thoughts and feelings about the multiple facets if leading and meaning. Such a space – interstitial to their outer working and inner personal lives, but deeply connective of both – was found useful in supporting coherent change processes in the participant leaders.
