This is a time of unprecedented change. Online work is stretching the invisible cords that bind us, contributing to increased alientation, polarization and fueling conflict. As leasers and change agents we have to suppot ourselves, our organizations and our people through increasingly stormy waters. We do not have to face this alone.  

Join us for this program to explore together how to build the more creative, effective and agile organizations much needed by our stakeholders and society.

In five afternoon sessions spread over five weeks, we wil go on a profound journey together, looking squarely at the conflicts we experience daily in the VUCA world from both a personal and systemic perspective. We'll re-wire our understanding and grow new muscles, enabling us to adopt a systemic lens, and to find our way through conflict into dynamic flow.

We will explore:

• What is conflict trying to tell us that we need to hear in this unprecedented time?
• How do we as individuals and organizations deal with conflict currently?
• How can we think differently about confict so it becomes an enabler for growth and innovation, not a hindrance?
• How do we support individuals in conflict, whilst seeing the big picture?
• How do we work creatively with difference, even those strong and deeply held, to discover the solutions we need in a complex and ambiguous world?

Structure:

• 5 online afternoon sessions spread over 5 weeks.
• One-to-one pre-course interview to help clarify your intentions with Ben and Milly, both internationally renowned facilitators in this field.
• Mid-program one-to-one coaching session on your conflict issue with Ben or Milly.
• Optional 'homework' practice between sessions to help deepen your learning experience.
• Balance of theory, dialogue and practice in each session.
• Belonging to a group of leaders, coaches and change-makers within a richly diverse learning pool.
