NOETIC: Noetic Leadership and Noetic Psychology
Noetic Leadership: a Conceptual Model of Leadership Integrating Spirituality with Affect, Cognition and Physiology for providing a framework for further research into Leadership and Spirituality

Spirituality is a key and fundamental aspect of our human existence and evolves from our natural inclinations as human beings. Thus, spirituality is inevitably connected to our emotional (affect), intellectual (cognitive) and physiological selves. Yet, ideas regarding spirituality as a function of leadership have lacked a framework that describes the relationship between spirituality, affect, cognition and the psychological dimensions of our existence. This paper fulfils that need by introducing the Noetic Leadership model which integrates affect, cognition and physiology with spirituality. The creation of the Noetic model also provides a new and innovative structure for exploring and examining leadership and leadership skills as a function of the fulfillment of fundamental human needs and drivers.

The Noetic Model of Psychology: A Conceptual Model of Psychology using Values to Integrate Spirituality with Affect, Cognition and Physiology

Meaning and Purpose (MaP) is the second trinity! It, like the trinity of affect, cognition and physiology (ACP i.e. feeling, thinking and behaving), is a dimension of our human existence that evolves from core human values and our natural inclinations as human beings. As such, how do we understand and explain how values interact to foster meaning, purpose and spirituality (MaPS) within a leadership context and in relation to ACP?

One solution is to develop a model of psychology which encompasses MaPS through values themselves and ACP and then examine the implications of this model for leadership. This paper provides such a model in the form of the Noetic (Meaning-Based) and Persona (ACP) framework which integrates affect, cognition and physiology with MaPS.

It needs to be noted that the use of the word Spirituality is based on the psychological definition of the word which fundamentally states that spirituality is the discovery of meaning and purpose and, as posed in this paper, this discovery is made possible by living according to core human values. It is in living by these values that we discover meaningful and purposeful lives which provides psychologically based spiritual fulfillment.

GROUNDED THEORY: The WEBs, WOEs and JBWs approach to Grounded Theory
In 1986, prior to discovering Grounded Theory, I conducted an analysis of an early 1900s book for evidence of prejudice and racism. To undertake this, I firstly looked for WEBs i.e. Words that are Emotions-Based such as dislike and like and the WOEs i.e. the difference between dislike and hate. I would then try to identify the subject matter / topic / theme / group associated with thoes WEBs and WOEs and try and see linkages and themes in matrices. I also used JBWs i.e. Judgement-Based Words to analyse where I thought there was a stated (easy to read) or implied (somewhat personal assessment and also based on a cultural context) negative or positive connotation. Although hard to prove my assessment of what was an implied negative or positive connotation, JBWs also helped in the analysis.

Co Design, Participatory Democracy and Services: A Framework
CO-DESIGN and PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY

From my research, key steps for Co-Design using a Participatory Democracy approach are:

1.	Frame the Question / Problem internally as a starting point using evidence available 2.	Establish community “jury” i.e. co-design input group 3.	Ask community jury if the right people are in the room 4.	Community jury assesses problem statement and evidence and redefines and makes “more” relevant as required 5.	Conduct more discovery as required involving jurists where possible 6.	Ask different groups to propose solutions / actions 7.	Community jurists attend session to hear proposals and choose solution 8.	Assess impact of solution to whom (people, groups) and what(e.g. environment) and how. 9.	Go back to jury to and paint picture of impact and the how 10.	Community jurists endorse or otherwise. If otherwise, review

Key question, what phase do you engage the "jury"?

SERVICE MODEL

Here’s a service model that may become relevant when using a Co-Design and Participatory Democracy Approach.

1.	Below is the “service cycle” i.e. the parts of services incorporating co-design and participatory democracy thinking from current and (personal) and past research I have conducted. I call the model ED-DOER for Service:

a.	Expectations b.	Design c.	Delivery d.	Outcomes e.	Experience f.	Response

2.	Voice is key in Expectations and Experience as end-to-end through what I call the IOC: input, Output; Care Factor.

a.	Expectations are the “input” Voice b.	Experience is the “output” Voice c.	Response is the care factor

Neuro-Diversity and Mental Health: Models and Ideas
'''As someone with both Autism and Bi-Polar One, here's some key ideas that I have used so that I can "help myself" through better understanding of "me".  TRAIT AMPLIFICATION (TA)''': in high stress environments (for Autism e.g. sensory overload, physical touch or closeness; values being challenged, my traits are amplified and I am less able to mask / hide.

EMOTIONAL LOAD and EMOTIONAL VOLUME (EL-EV): when there are "many" emotions in a situation and those emotions are "high" I am likely to have more problems.

GUILT OVERLOAD (GO): where those with neuro-diversity make social and relationship mistakes and cannot forgive ourselves

SOCIAL INEBRIATION (SI): getting caught in overwhelming social situations such as parties and work functions.

STIMULUS OVERLOAD (SO): where there are a range of stimuli all occurring at the one time e.g. sensory, social and intellectual.

OVER ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY (OAR): where we take responsibility for everything we see as wrong in ourselves or the world or the way in which others like us are treated. It's all about balance.  LOST SELF and FINDING ME (LS-FM): I spend so much time hiding who I am and masking I sometime can't find the real me.

CANARY IN THE MINESHAFT: sometimes folk with neuro-diversity will react more quickly to poor workplace cultures and practices and unaccepting or discriminatory social networks and people.

NOTE: I like to refer to Autism as Awe-tis-some (© Leigh Kibby 2017) as I believe we with Autism are awesome and all th abovee are copyright.
