Deep Intelligence & Spiritual Intelligence: Why is it relevant for You? For Leaders? For the World? By Cindy Graves Wigglesworth President, Deep Change, Inc. cindy@deepchange. com www. deepchange. com © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 1

All rights reserved. . 2

Executive Summary 1. There are multiple types of intelligence 2. There are multiple stages of adult development 3. Higher stages of adult development enable us to deal with complexity, ambiguity 4. You need emotional and spiritual intelligence to get to higher stages of development 5. These higher stages are related to the Conscious Capitalism model of Conscious Leadership © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 3

Please note… • This is just ONE approach • Consider it a hypothesis – that SQ is a way we can more safely bring Spirituality into the workplace and into leadership conversations • And…also useful in centers of faith • Not intended to homogenize or lose the distinctiveness of each faith • We do not prescribe that you must think all 21 skills are important or that you must believe anything we say or present © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 4

Why Spiritual Intelligence? • Religion triggers fear / defense • A safe language of skills – and • Skills described need to be meaty enough to communicate the power of spirituality • An assessment could be soundly created, validated, researched and improved upon • Faith-friendly, faith-neutral and secularfriendly © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 5

Why I Do This… • These skills have worked for me and my clients • These are sound business skills • These are life skills as well • Previous to this assessment it was very hard to describe, measure and teach Spiritual Intelligence © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 6

Spirit & “Love one another” • The Golden Rule exists in all the major faith traditions and in most philosophies of life (treat others as you wish to be treated) • We want “Love. ” But what is Love?

My definition of Spiritual Intelligence “Spiritual Intelligence is the ability to behave with Wisdom and Compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace (Equanimity) regardless of the situation. ” © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 24

• Higher Power / Higher Self is about Unity, Connection, Service, abundance, Long-term thinking, Win/Win solutions • Ego is about Separation, isolation, self-protection, scarcity, shortterm thinking, win/lose or “quid pro quo” © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 25

Key Language: Ego self • Ego* is the part of us that is – Fearful, angry, separated from others – Likes drama, victim roles, aggressor roles • Synonyms: Personality self, selfish side, lower self, separated self, earthly self, etc. In Islam – the nafs *not Freud’s definition – Ego as used in spiritual literature © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 28

Shift from Ego to Higher Self • Ego as described in spiritual literature – Self-interest is narrow, focused on “me” and “my goals” (low empathy, low wisdom) – Tendency to drama, negative thinking – Equals earlier stages of development and less healthy expressions of the stages • Higher Self – Expanded sense of who I am, sees interconnections, sees systems, sees context – Wiser, calmer, transformational decisions possible © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 29

Quad 1 Skill 5: Awareness of Ego self / Higher Self 1 I have a basic understanding of that an ego self exists and that how it reacts to things is a result of my personal experiences since birth, including the influence of my family and my culture. 2 I can observe my own Ego in operation. I understand there is a difference between the desires of my Ego and of my Higher Self. 3 I can recognize the situations and types of people that trigger my Ego self to want to take charge. I recognize the signals my body gives me when my Ego has been triggered. 4 I can consistently hear the voice of my Higher Self. This may be a “felt sense” in the body, or an auditory or visual experience, or a combination. I may not hear it often, but I know it when I do. I am learning to listen to it. I understand how my thoughts and beliefs are creating the anger or fear I feel. 5 The voice of my Higher Self is now the principal voice I hear. Ego is now in joyful service to Spirit. I no longer feel a “tug of war” between these two parts of my self. © 2011 Deep Change, Inc. All rights reserved. . 31

Complexity of Reasoning 1 • How many items do you take into account and how do you assemble them into a position? • What do you consider as evidence? • Do you assess long-term effects? • What steps do you follow when evaluating? • What data do you use to support your stance? • How do you deal with ambiguity? 1 from Cook-Greuter slide deck © 2011 Deep Change, Inc.

My Conclusions • Higher STAGES are crucial to respond to the Life Conditions we face in the world • Higher SQ is very highly correlated with Higher STAGES • We need PQ, IQ, EQ and SQ to move to Higher STAGES • SQ is a crucial skill set for world leaders and evolved voters and citizens to develop © 2011 Deep Change, Inc.
