Join us a for a Deep Democracy Leadership seminar, in which we discover how numinous moments in our own lives are not just accidental, but follow a deeper pattern.
Beyond Leadership
Unpredictability, Resilience, and Following the Unknown
Learn how our own moments of transformation bear the seeds for our change leadership. Experience for yourself, how seemingly magic moments in groups and teams are organized by the marginalized information in whole system. Crises and peak experiences show individuals and teams the power of the unknown, and can be tracked to co-create the emerging future. Traditional leadership concepts suggest that a leader must be bold and push ahead to achieve results. While this aspect of leadership is important, and will also be developed in this seminar, the path of leadership is at times unknown and surprising.
We will introduce tools that assist in guiding us through the at times terrifying, at times awe-inspiring journey. This workshop aims to provide inner work tools and group facilitation instruments to add to your faith in unfolding pathways, and use awareness of the moment to detach and lead by following the unknown.
In this workshop, we will show tools to discover the magic of your own personal leadership path and its underlying structure. We will study transformative moments in your life, and learn to access personal leadership power, embedded in these numinous moments. We will practice tools to “get out of your own way”, and flow with the energies that are moving you. Through this process will result a new kind of faith in your own ability to co-create a tangible path that is aligned with the tides of change.
In this seminar, you will learn Process Oriented methods to:
- Discover your personal transformational leadership style.
- Find meaning and energy in difficult transitional moments and use it to enhance your facilitation style.
- Use your awareness in group work to notice moments that catch your attention, and use them to guide your strategy building process.
- Align yourself with events that are “trying to happen” by opening up to the unpredictable.
Day 1: Transformative Moments: We will focus on important moments, and the new energy that came into your life at this point. We will discover how that energy was somehow always present, and how can you use it now in your everyday life and in your process of personal growth as a leader.
Day 2: Leadership as a Mystical Path: We will study how your projects have a “life of their own”, and “draft” you and your energy for their process of completion. We will practice a process oriented approach to dropping identification with your personal history, and following a “higher calling”, your deep and eternal aspects. Work in the world becomes a meditation to connect with your deepest parts.
Day 3: Your Fate - You and the Unknown: This day will focus on your relationship to the unknown, why fate has picked you for that path, and how you can play along to enhance and strengthen it.
