Day 1

Key to understanding why people ‘stand by’, on the one hand, and why people make a conscious choice to act, on the other, is an appreciation of the hidden mental structures that unconsciously disempower most people. With this appreciation we can look for and adopt more enIbling mental structures that support engagement, empowerment and action.

Participants will experience the impact of these two types of hidden mental structures (pyramidal and parabolic) on their everyday behaviour. They will see how a change in their mental structure facilitates a mindset change which in turn underpins behavioural, organizational and whole systems change.

Outcomes

Many people have come to this workshop wanting to know how to get others to change. They leave with an emerging new perspective; not how to get others to change but rather how to work with people so that in partnership they can instigate sustainable change.

This shift in consciousness appears subtle yet is significant and core to the processes and tools you will learn in the workshop.

Integrating this new consciousness will increase your capability as a leader and change agent, and give you a greater sense of well-grounded optimism about what is possible.

Day 2

New mindsets form the foundations for new organizations that are more capable of responding to the challenges of a rapidly changing environment. Parabolic mindsets can help people work more effectively within traditional structures. In addition they can facilitate an evolutionary change from the traditional organizational structure to a new parabolic structure to further enhance an organization’s capacity to work with complexity.

Participants will experience how parabolic mindsets help people align their hearts and minds to achieving their organization’s purpose. They will experiment with a range of tools that make the best use of their people’s intelligence and creativity and better equip them to handle uncertainty and complexity. They will develop insights into creating more resilient and innovative organizations.

Outcomes

We have found that outcomes differ according to the individual. People tell us that they learn about a range of empowering tools and strategies that help open up dialogue, understand the complexity of systems and the role of partnership, and make better use of everyone’s intelligence and creativity. They tell us they have greater clarity about the steps they can take to help facilitate organizational change.
