Virginia Macali, JD, MS,
is the founder of High Point Transitions. www.macali.com.
Virginia is a Certified Integral Coach who is dedicated to the full development
of leaders, managers and independent contributors in organizations. Virginia
is a lawyer who holds a master’s degree in counseling and has worked
with a wide variety of people in government, business, education, and
non-profit organizations.
Virginia works from the premise that to work and live with greater effectiveness,
authenticity and satisfaction requires working and living in new ways.
This sounds simple, yet, through our habits, both successful and unsuccessful,
we have found a way to be “good enough” in our work and lives.
Sometimes, this is not enough. Openings for transformation occur at the
edges where different forces meet. For example, where challenging demands
meet the commitment to the organization’s mission; where the need
to change meets resistance; where economic realities meet creative vision;
where increased pressures meet activated capacity. In this meeting, our
commitments come apart or come together. It is here where the development
of people within the organization is vital for success.
This development calls for ways to work and live with greater effectiveness,
authenticity and satisfaction. It requires new practices such as self-observation
in which we become accurate and competent observers of ourselves, others
and the situation at hand. It requires new distinctions that bring new
language and new understanding. This creates new possibilities for action.
It requires adherence to principles, behaviors and habits that bring out
the best in self and others, bring forth integrity, and create systems
that support transformation. When transformation is embodied, the learning
becomes natural, not a checklist from a seminar or book. An integral approach
includes perspectives and actions that include the individual, as well
as the culture and environment of the organization.
