Public Narrative: Storytelling for Action
Public Narrative is the craft of telling the story of your 'why' and calling others into action with you. Emotional experiences in our lives and moments of agency teach us the values that lead to our callings. By getting in touch with these moments we begin to access our own motivational moral resources in deeper ways; by communicating these to others we help them understand us and motivate them to act with us. Based in the work of Marshall Ganz at Harvard University, this workshop enables participants to dig into their 'why' and communicate it to others, develop community through narrating shared values, and call a group to action around the urgent issues we face.
Conducted as 3-hour introduction, 1-day full workshop, or 2-day full workshop plus coaching and story share.
Empathetic Leadership in a Time of Crisis
We've all heard the saying 'people resist change,' right? Actually, people resist loss. In this moment, people are grappling with losses all around them -- material losses, losses of competency, losses of identity, and losses of certainty about the future. Without empathic leadership, things can feel dire and hopeless. Yet with a few key tools, we can enable agency in those around us. The empathetic bridge, created by Marshall Ganz at Harvard University, offers a four-step process for helping communities make meaning out of loss. Through experiential and engaging pedagogy, this workshop teaches participants to use the empathetic bridge to help people move forward with new hope, agency, and confidence.
Conducted as 2-3 hour workshop or full-day workshop.
The Four Ears: Empathic Listening for Leadership
Listening involves more than being quiet and letting words wash over you. This workshop presents a new model for deep relational listening, based in emotional intelligence and tying together inner work, team dynamics, and systems thinking. We begin by training one ear on ourselves, our inner monologue, our emotions, and the lenses we use to understand the world. We train our second ear on these elements within the other. Our third ear listens for context and power relations, and our fourth ear listens for shared purpose. Through using these 'four ears' we can connect more intentionally with others across power imbalances. In this workshop, participants will learn the framework and practice it in real-time with peers, then apply it to an upcoming conversation of their choice.
Conducted as 2-3 hour workshop or full-day workshop.
Leadership for Systems Change: Adaptive Leadership and Systems Thinking
On the toughest problems, no one knows the ‘right answers.’ That’s because there aren’t easy fixes to the stickiest problems, there is only progress. To learn to make progress, we need to see and understand the system, then engage stakeholders in creating shifts. Based in the work of Ron Heifetz at Harvard University, this workshop walks through key elements of analyzing and diagnosing leadership challenges, with participants using their own cases as learning material. Participants will gain a new framework for understanding systemic challenges as well as tools for addressing them step by step, unlocking new possibilities for future action. Conducted as 2-3 hour workshop or full-day workshop.
Immunity to Change: Discovering and Overcoming What Holds Us Back
As hard as we try to make certain changes in our life, sometimes it seems we just keep sliding back to our old habits. This pattern often indicates a complex adaptive challenge, in which we are both driving forward and holding ourselves back at the same time. Through the five-step Immunity to Change process, participants detail their patterns and begin to uncover the competing commitments that hold them back from making true change. By the end of this process, participants have identified the assumptions that underlie their competing desires and designed a test to explore these assumptions. Conducted as 3-hour workshop for individuals or full-day workshop for individual and organizational change.
