This intensive delivers frameworks and practices from the Art of Hosting, Mobius Method, mindfulness and the Leading Change Institute. Participants learn by doing, co-facilitating sessions with trainers, leaving the intensive with a robust set of practices that foster trusting relationships, distribute leadership across teams and communities of service, and generate new possibilities for purposeful action for a better world. The intensive provides an opportunity to pause, meaningfully reflect on purpose and culture, and prioritize where you’re placing your attention.

STATUS QUO – “BUSINESS AS USUAL”

Even with the best intentions, work within mission-driven teams and organizations can involve experiences of polarization, unhealthy power dynamics, and an absence of connection and trust. Teams and organizations often work with limited, outdated leadership toolkits that aren’t adaptive enough for the complexity of our times, making it feel impossible to experience personal fulfillment and make change at a meaningful scale. What results is a culture where individuals and teams are unable to effectively navigate conflict or move forward in a productive way.

POSSIBILITY – “THE FUTURE WE WANT”

The first step in creating meaningful change is to give yourself critical time to reflect: “What kind of relationships and cultures would be fulfilling to me and impactful in the world? What tools and practices do I need to create them?”  Teams and organizations need a robust set of practices that foster trusting relationships and embrace diverse individual perspectives and skills. Healthy teams are able to metabolize the gridlock of conflict into creativity and innovative solutions, unlocking the potential in a system.

Leading Change is designed to transform existing dynamics, introducing a set of flexible tools and strategies from the worlds of facilitation, mindfulness, embodiment, and leadership development for diagnosing what’s needed, and designing conditions for a team to thrive and be effective.
