Shaping Tomorrow (CCA Political Pod)
registrationexplicit IDG relationmixed90 pp · 6 steps · 25 lettered spreads; 11 runnable activities recorded
A 90-page playbook for coaches, coaching supervisors and consultants who work with political and civic leaders on sustainable decision-making and policy. Six iterative steps — Coaches as Catalysts, Grasping Climate Politics, Climate Science in Action, Holistic Transformation, Amplifying Action, Power of Storytelling — each built as lettered two-page spreads of WHY?, WHAT? and HOW?, where the HOW? page carries the practical activity. Eleven of the twenty-five spreads are runnable exercises and are recorded here; the rest orient the coach in politics, climate science and mindset theory. Step 4 presents the Inner Development Goals framework directly and recommends the IDG Toolkit; the whole playbook leans on the CCA's Eco-Phase Cycle.

The document these records were read from
This source is a file rather than a page, so what was read is pinned by its contents, not just its address. A revised edition at the same URL would be a different document — the digest below is how either of us can tell.

Check it yourself: download the file, then run shasum -a 256 on it. A different digest means the document changed after these records were written, and the records drawn from it need re-reading.
Obtained by hand — the host's robots file declines automated requests, so a person downloaded this rather than our checker fetching it.
