An introduction to the steps in a meaningful dance: center, enter, turn. Practice in pairs learning the routine and building anticipation of dancing to the music of your org.

Excellent for expanding your tool box. Lots of practical experience with using the models and tools.

It’s great if you’re feeling like you’re stuck. The class gives you some tools to look at a problem in different ways that lead to new insights and a confidence that there are things you can do to be useful.

It is very practical – not much theory. Low tempo with time for reflection (a good thing). It actually about coaching in the team and outside the team.

Sometimes (most times) the problems we face are multi-faceted and complex. The workshop gives tools to pause & observe, analyze the system & determine what experiments you want to take.

It was such an intimate setting and a great collaborative learning experience.

The workshop offers a framework and process to assist with effecting change – in small groups, one-on-one, and at an organizational level – in an experiential and thought provoking way.

If you have a chance to participate in Esther and Don’s workshops, do not hesitate and go for it. The style of learning throughout the workshop was amazing with its simplicity yet undoubtedly difficult to establish in such short period of time that two days gives us. The setup of the physical space not as much as the emotional comfort that their approach just emitted on its own. They have set up the emotional space for us to be as open as possible and vulnerable yet at the same time have the feeling of safety. I have not experienced that style of knowledge sharing/exchange in a long time. So much information was shared and exchanged without the feeling of material heavy session. It was all done through carefully thought out exercises that almost seemed to mask that this was learning and it didn’t feel like a torrent of data poured on my head, even that it was 😉 

Powerful / Pragmatic / Contemplation / Experiential Learning

Like a fireside chat / mountain retreat with Esther & Don.

Learning with the best of the best.

Energizing, safe environment.  You can work with 13 separate partners in 2 days.

The workshop will introduce a bunch of useful tools when you are in the position of implementing a change in an org.

Lots of hands-on exercises that help you see and depict a very complex organizational situation in systematic metaphors.

Instruction on tools that can be used to help teams and others throughout the organization see the big picture more clearly and how things affect the big picture.

Taking a systems view to complex organization problems (without going to crazy).

Concepts and tools for working with the rest of the organization.

This workshop teaches a framework for change and gives you experience in using that framework to solve real problems in real organizations.
