Last Days To Register!

We are very happy to announce that this year we will be organizing the Genuine Contact Summer Academy in the Netherlands in cooperation with Birgitt Williams and Rachel Bolton of Dalar Consultancy.

This Five Day intensive will explore holistic organizational development from a Genuine Contact perspective.

Constant change in the world and in organizations presents us with the challenge of how to lead into the unknown. Adopting a holistic organizational development approach is one way to meet this challenge. This approach has evolved over thirty years of experience, including with the international Genuine Contact Organization.

Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict.”― Dorothy Thompson

Change is constant and more rapid than ever before. Conflict follows in its footprints. It is the natural consequence of being part of a living and dynamic system. Conflict can drain individual and organizational energy and takes it away from productive work. Within the Genuine Contact™ Program we work with conflict from the perspective that underneath all diversity, humans have some things in common, some universal needs and understandings.

In the Cross Cultural Conflict Resolution workshop, the focus is on the personal preparation of the facilitator, as being essential. Even if you never work with formal conflict resolution, this workshop provides ways to investigate your personal relationship with conflict, your level of self acceptance and what you can create when a climate of conflict arises. 

Join this annual gathering of Genuine Contact professionals, trainers, co-owners and others interested in the Genuine  Contact™ approach.  The Mentoring Circle is designed as a place   to learn together, inspire and mentor one another about living and working with Genuine Contact.

This workshop is designed to take you through a learning journey, posing possibilities and asking you to become aware and develop your own interpretation and perspective to develop an interconnected learning organization that inspires, sustains and regenerates growth while building capacity to successfully navigate the chaos of our times.

It offers you a deepening in learning how to apply Genuine Contact tools and perspectives when working with others in an organization or team endeavor in such a way that the tools can become embedded in the fabric of the organization. 

Since participants are unique and come from unique organizations each facing their own specific challenges and opportunities this workshop’s focus is on assisting you to develop your own perspective, design your tailored tools to develop your organization that meets the needs of your situation. 

Learn how to make sustainable improvements to your organization in times of dynamic change.

Organizations in times of change can benefit greatly if they focus on how to achieve and maintain their balance.  This training provides you with an opportunity to dive into what it would take, both for you as a consultant as well as for an organization to design a plan to achieve organizational health.  You will gain insight into how to enable your organization to stay healthy, resilient and alert in a challenging environment.

Open Space Technology (OST) is a meeting methodology that taps into the collective
wisdom of a group, team, organization or community in order to address concrete business issues, find answers to complex problems, and nurture leadership in times of change. Using the potential of the whole group, whether 5 or 500+ people, OST has the capacity to bring people together around topics that are deeply important to them and thus prone to misunderstanding and come away with breakthrough understanding, learning and action together. OST has proven long term effects in innovation, problem-solving and improving how people work together. Working repeatedly with Open Space Technology has the capacity to transform organizations.

In this workshop participants learn how to do an organizational diagnosis to know what is already in place and what needs to be replaced or cleansed – important knowledge when planning to re-model or re-organize an organization.

The diagnosis is the starting point and with it comes a map for the regeneration of organizational health and balance.
The same multi-functional tools that are used in the diagnosis, are also used in the regeneration process and in many other processes within the Genuine Contact Program.

A pre-requisite is to participate in the 1/2 day training called Path to Health & Balance. We offer it on Jan 11th and/or Feb 9th.

Maintaining your own Health and Balance through these processes is vital, for your self, as well as to be of the best service to the change you are a part of.  During the course of 4 mornings in March and a one in June 2020, you will have the opportunity to build your capacity to work with change as a leader and as an individual. The workshop provides you with time and space to build your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical capacity to take leadership of yourself in your life and work.

I am proud to give this workshop as part of the Genuine Contact™ online Specialty Series. During the workshop you will develop insight into your “conduct” for leading yourself successfully to accomplish your vision. Whether you work within an organization or are the leader of your own business, it is important that the way you act is aligned with your deeper values, purpose, and spirit of intent. When your conduct is consistent each action helps you create what you would like to see in your life and world. When you have developed a conscious awareness of this alignment it will help you in each decision you make as you move as a leader on your path.
