Diana van Donselaar, Netherlands, Europe
Senior facilitator and coach for individuals and teams. Helping them to show mastery in personal leadership, work from their passion and heart and showing the best version of themselves in a dynamic environment. For this I use the following qualities: energetic, refreshing, simple and effective. I love to connect recent Western development methods with old Oriental and Shamanic wisdom. For example, Appreciative Inquiry and Systemic Constellations with the wisdom coming from Taoism, Shamanic work, Martial Arts and Yoga. For me ‘The circle Way’ is an inspiring and powerful example of such a combination. It invites people really to speak from their heart and center. As the Circle starts, it is astonishing to feel the power and depth of old wisdom, beautifully transformed into daily and present use and conversation. I feel honoured to spread this great work and will do this as sincerely and authentically as I can, together with my dear colleague, Jan Adam.

I am a facilitator, workshop leader, teacher, blogger, and coach committed to improving the quality of collaboration and imagination needed in groups, teams, and organizations — to help us be in times such as these with consciousness, kindness, and learning. My work over 20+ years has been to design and lead meetings in participative formats. From strategic visioning with boards to large conference design to communities just learning to listen again to one another. Lately I have been working with community organizers, faith communities, and educators. I post a daily blog, Human to Human, in which I offer reflection on varied aspects of participative leadership practices, insights, and human to human depth. Living systems, self-organization, and emergence inspire all of my work. So does emptiness, breath, or a fresh-picked garden tomato. My work lineages include The Berkana Institute with Margaret Wheatley, The Circle Way with Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea, and The Art of Hosting with Toke Moeller. I live in a small town where urban meets rural in Lindon, Utah, at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains. I’m originally from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. A new love for me is kayaking.
