"Leadership exists when people are no longer victims of circumstances but participate in
creating new circumstances. Leadership is about creating a domain in which human beings
continually deepen their understanding of reality and become more capable of participating
in the unfolding of the world. Ultimately, leadership is about creating new realities."
—Peter Senge
An Invitation to Enter New Learning: Reinvention
This transformative learning program offers
innovative practices for assuming expanded
leadership. The state of today’s world means radical change in human living and working are the
norm, and the result is an ongoing sense of
disruption, turbulence, and reduction of certainty.
Yesterday’s success is insufficient to accomplish your mission possible today. Reinvention
begins with who you are “being,” not what you are “doing.” Your way of being is also known as your observer. You will work with the observer model – the source of your
reality and your actions. Reinvention is not improving, fixing or changing yourself; it’s
about reinventing a whole new you to accomplish whatever your mission possible is, whether your mission possible is business or personal. This learning program is a World
Café and Collaborative Inquiry learning prototype that is suited to revolutionary
change, and to healthier and more sustainable living practices and results.

The Observer Model
Your “way of being” in the world is the alignment between your physical body dispositions, your moods and emotions and your language patterns (speech acts,
always-already-automatic listening and your interpretations). Your way of being is also
known as your observer. Language is not separate from your moods or your physical body and movements. They are linked and this coherence becomes a predisposition for
action, and what is and is not possible for you to accomplish.

The Learning Process
This unique Collaborative Inquiry strategy bridges state-of-the-
art learning theory with practical application in the work place over time. Rather than a one-day workshop where practical
application is limited and workplace experience is non-existent,
this program consists of 3 evenings, followed by 3 full days, spread over 6 weeks to facilitate the integration of theory and
application to workplace challenges. Through the experience
you will learn a fresh social technology to develop collaborative learning environments and address highly complex business needs. In addition, you will
incorporate personal transformative change practices.
You will create and implement new practices both individually, and in groups. In groups,
you will take new actions together, reflect on those actions and potentially shift your
perspective of reinvention in the workplace. Through individual and group work, you will have the opportunity to engage in more meaningful and effective coordinated action. The
program incorporates the following processes:
− Cycles of action and reflection
− Learning, as a whole person, through expanded ways of knowing (epistemologies)
− Using the imagination as the gateway to other learning capacities
− Transformative learning, with the goal of perspective shift
− Integral practices to design new language habits, moods and emotions, and body dispositions
The core learning strategy fosters breakthrough thinking and action and draws out the
highest potential of individuals and the organizations of which they are a part. It is an
action-learning approach that asks you to
observe your current reality, reflect on your interpretations, and act in more meaningful ways
to create a new reality and future.

Program Details
− This program covers six-weeks and consists of 3 evenings, followed by 3 full days.
− It can be conducted as a public program, a program for specific groups, or a program for intact work teams. While the timeframe can be
minimally adjusted, the goal is deeper learning
that only occurs over time.
− The Facilitator is also a coach who will support you to create and implement new individual, group and organizational practices.
− The emphasis is on the integration of practices that enable you to coordinate body dispositions, language habits and mood/emotion patterns that determine your
overall coherence and possibilities for action.
− You will work with a group during the entire event and will receive a learning journal to record reflective notes. You will be making and sharing “new meaning” together.
− Please wear casual, comfortable clothing as physical movement will be involved in the program.

The program is currently offered upon request with pricing based on participants.
Participants will receive:

Criteria for Participation
− You will participate in groups with new colleagues, not necessarily colleagues that attend with you. The facilitator recognizes the importance of trust and has
incorporated opportunities to build trust in the
process.
− You are a volunteer to this experience. If you participate as a requirement of someone else, you will
not achieve optimal learning results, and your
participation could hinder the learning experience of others.
− This is your developmental learning process. Engaging in it fully and taking responsibility for your own learning are required to achieve the results you define for yourself.
− This program is not a substitute for personal counseling or therapy, and will not ad-dress counseling issues such as depression or mental illness.
