Facilitation & Leadership Development
Experience and research studies have shown that groups and organizations abide by rational and logical patterns as well as irrational and non-linear processes that are difficult to measure. Today's leaders and social change agents need to integrate information from both worlds as sources for growth and development. A comprehensive leadership methodology and new facilitation paradigm is required to achieve following objectives:
- respect differences and embrace diversity
- understand
and facilitate power dynamics underlying conflicts
- facilitate
personal and team/community vision and direction
- integrate
personal development and inspire growth in others
- support self organizing processes to generate new and innovative solutions to protracted conflicts
The new facilitation paradigm embraces logical and emotional components of social change processes to achieve conflict transformation and community building. In a creative process diverse point of views and emotions are shared and debated to increase understanding and gain access to creative directions. It is based on the principle of Deep Democracy.
To develop our individual and collective awareness as communities, we need all our diversity of feelings, ideas and visions. All experiences are validated and needed to co-create the world we would like to live in.
