Process Work and Organizational Excellence:
Addressing Power, Conflict and Tension in the Workplace
With
Dr Stephen Schuitevoerder
February 27th - March 2st, 2009
We
are excited to announce that Dr Stephen Schuitevoerder, a well
known international facilitator and trainer will be continuing
his series of trainings in Process Work in Japan. This workshop
explores Process Work applications to organizational development
with a focus on communication, relationships, conflict and tension.
This
seminar: Effective relationships are vital to the health of any system, whether a family, community or organization. Interpersonal tension and challenging relationships have resulted in the poor performance and closure of many organizations. And yet so little emphasis, value and focus are placed on the cultivation of effective communication. In this seminar we will use the models of Process Work to focus on the dynamics of communication. We will explore how interpersonal tension and conflict, when approached with skill, awareness and curiosity, can offer profound insight and learning for all parties involved. We will explore how these very tensions when unfolded, can transform an organization into a dynamic and fulfilling workplace. The seminar will address all levels of organizational tension: on an interpersonal level, within a team or group, and in addressing the whole system and greater culture itself. The seminar will be experiential, with theoretical presentations followed by demonstrations, exercises and group interaction. Participants will be invited to present specific challenging conflict themes as case studies.
What
we will cover:
- Process Work individual, relationship and group work model.
- The value of disturbance as a method of personal development.
- Recognizing our edges and patterns in conflict.
- Signal theory in interactions: hot spots, escalation and de-escalation, accusations and more.
- Understanding the three faces and approaches to conflict.
- Abuse and violence in the workplace.
- Approaches in working with the different levels of conflict: individual, relationship, group and system.
- The meta-skills in working with conflict.
Learning
Outcomes:
Participants will be provided with:
- An in depth analysis and application of Process Work individual, relationship and group facilitation models.
- An understanding of interpersonal communication with a focus on signal theory, edges and hot spots.
- A toolkit to address tension and conflict on all organizational levels (individual, relationship, team and whole organization).
- Skills to work in ‘hot’ situations with potential violence and abuse.
- An understanding of the important metaskills in working with tension and conflict.
More
on Process work: Process
Work is a cross-disciplinary approach to support individual and
collective change. It developed in the 1970s and 1980s in Zurich,
Switzerland by Dr. Arnold Mindell, a Jungian analyst. Process
Work, also known as Process-Oriented Psychology, offers new ways
of working with areas of life that are experienced as problematic
or painful. Physical symptoms, relationship problems, group
conflicts and social tensions, when approached with curiosity and
respect, can lead to new information that is vital for personal
and collective growth.
With its roots in Jungian
psychology and physics, Process Work believes that the solution
to problems is often contained within the disturbances
themselves. Process Work provides a practical framework through
which individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations
can connect with greater effectiveness and creativity. Process
Work adopts a sense of deep democracy whereby each aspect of
ourselves is seen to be meaningful and important and offers
valuable information for us when explored and unfolded. Similarly
within an organization, each member holds important and vital
contribution to the group's well-being and effectiveness.
