Spiral Futures and CHE-UK Present

ONLINE: Individual Development, Leadership and Coaching

An in-depth workshop and Spiral Dynamics Level 2 training.

Format now tested and proven

How do we support ourselves and our clients through these most challenging times?

As a coach, facilitator or witness of another’s developmental journey it is a primary skill or capacity to navigate these turbulent times and waves and enable others to do likewise with skill & awareness.

This event facilitates a deep exploration of human development driven by the living systems intelligence of Spiral Dynamics theory and also drawing on the experience and wisdom of participants.  It is the most explicitly psychological of the SDi trainings.  At the same time we delve into the "bio" aspect of Graves' bio-psycho-social model by exploring greater embodiment, learning how to strengthen roots in in our early stages and support increased fluidity in later ones.

Over recent centuries, humanity has increasingly believed in the power of reason and the dominance of the analytical mind.  It has relished the success of technology and the illusion of mastery over the material world.  Two large and visible flaws have become apparent, even more so since the pandemic arrived:  

1) We have neglected the Beige, Purple and Red systems.  

The dominance of the mind has diminished our respect for our somatic systems and intuitive knowing, reducing our sense of connectedness to nature and each other and suppressing our human spirit.

An overriding key to our success in navigating the new conditions that face us, it is in our development of the capacity to surf, not analyse the wave.  That means living in the instant, in this NOW moment, willing to be in the unknown, sensing and choosing on a continuous basis, ready to see the results of our choices and make adjustments.  It is the fail fast and fail often, agile mind-set turned into a way of being.

It requires all of our capabilities to be on stream.

2) The Blue and Orange systems have become hubristic, rigid and dominating while Green thinking struggles to break out of disempowerment.    

The supremacy of a mechanistic and matter-based view of organisations and society has caused us to ignore contexts, antecedents, stories, beliefs and emotional responses.  Many are trapped in trying to control the world’s chaos and turbulence, unable to adapt to a Volatile, Uncertain and Chaotic world or to thrive on the liminal edge.  

We will explore all of the stages in depth.  You will gain insights into how to understand yourself and become more equipped to work with others in ways that will support them to break through their barriers.  This will add to your ability to coach, mentor and give them insights into how to become more conscious and capable as individuals and as leaders.
