Never Too Far Gone
Hi, I’m Heather, and this is my podcast about how to rebuild communities that have become run-down or unsustainable. I created Systemic Renewal, an action research methodology that I have used in a range of settings in the process of renewal, which I am now sharing with the world through the Academy of Systemic Renewal. This is a little gift to listeners who are working in hard places that may even, at times, feel too hard. I have worked in legal practice, community development, education at primary, secondary and tertiary level, and as an Anglican priest and I believe that nobody and no situation is ever too far gone. http://heathercetrangolo.com

Heather answers a question about how to stay burning when serious setbacks and discouragements happen. This episode offers three tips and a guided reflection about how to metabolise experiences of feeling comprised or betrayed. First, acknowledge what was plain unfair. Second, assign oneself a grieving period. Third, repurpose disappointment so that it becomes a resource in the rebuilding process.

Heather introduces Systemic Renewal, a methodology for changing the software and hardware of systems. She explains that changing software isn't soft, but practical, measurable, brave and sophisticated work. Heather introduces three reasons why changing mindsets can feel lightweight or fluffy, and four methods that make it not so.

In this first episode of Never Too Far Gone, Heather shares the personal story that started her journey towards becoming a 'Renewalist' and theorising Systemic Renewal. It begins with discovering an unlikely thirteenth century change leader, who began his journey in a 'Dilapidated Space.' This podcast offers you half an hour to be renewed in your own practice, and consider the experiences of Disrupted Narratives, Dilapidated Spaces and Disillusioned Corporates in your story.
