“Insightful, moving. The best training I’ve ever taken part in.”

Emma Kenny, Head of Strategy, National Citizen Service, UK

Future Considerations is delighted to offer this one-day, high impact simulation workshop centred around four critical questions:

• How can I generate greater partnership and engagement across your organisation?
• How can I create a more empowered, collaborative and innovative work culture?
• What difference would it make to act systemically: seeing how context and ‘structures’ drive behaviour?
• How can I deepen your insight, cultivate your compassion and enhance your effectiveness?
  

The workshop is based on the highly acclaimed work of sytems theorist Barry Oshry.

What to expect from the workshop?

• High impact, experiential learning.
• Practice mindfulness skills relevant to leadership.
• Simple, strategic frameworks that offer deeper insight and wiser action strategies.
• Time for reflection to relate the learnings to your unique circumstances.
  

The centrepiece of the day is an organisational exercise where participants enter a fast- moving, turbulent environment as either a top executive, middle manager, worker or customer. The experience closely mirrors day-to-day organisational life so that there’s no backing away from the impact that your behaviour has on others and the organisation’s performance.

What you will walk away with:

• Gain a whole system view of the organisation.
• Strengthen your capacity to create resilient partnerships: up, down and across organisational boundaries.
• Address the root causes, not just the symptoms, of misunderstandings, communication problems and conflict.
• Understand more and blame less.
• Bring a deeper wisdom, compassion and effectiveness to your life and work.
• Produce better results for yourself, your organisation and all your stakeholders.

The workshops starts at 9am & finishes at 4.00pm.
