Executive Thinking Program

This one year program consists of twelve modules and an introduction that address skill building in each of the six areas of knowing. The rest of the sessions are devoted to real world applications and in depth self-discovery and growth.

• Who am I?
• The Mental Acuity - Three Parts: Critical Thinking, Systems Thinking, Creativity: Inventing As We Go
• The Emotional Acuity: Exploring the Heart of Business
• The Subtle Acuity: Intuition As A Working Asset
• The Mind/Body Acuity: Being Present At Work
• Time Sensitivity: Evolving A Sense of What's Important
• Group Wisdom: The Whole Exceeds the Sum of Its Parts
• Working With Dichotomies: Integration, Synergy, and Innovation
• Creating Meaning: The Core of Motivation and Alignment
• Individual and Organizational Renewal: Staying Ahead of the Game
• Dialogue: The Laboratory of the Heart
• Journaling: Ira Progoff Method for in depth self-reflection

This program is designed for both intact work groups and small groups of individuals. Group size ranges from 10-16 people to allow for personal attention and close interaction. The focus of the program is on personal change and skill building, so there is a "fallow" time designed between each segment of the program to allow for real life experience, the practice of skills and self awareness through projects involving normal work issues. This program brings together three new tools to help managers and leaders in the workplace, Holistic Knowing, the Transformational Learning and Performance Matrix, and the Spectrum of Human Needs. This leadership experience will form a solid platform upon which to build a sustainable approach for change. During this program participants can expect to:

• Clarify their relationship to control and power
• Understand the relationship between leadership and strategy
• Discover the relationship between leadership and corporate culture
• Explore the relationship between resistance, excellence and leadership
• Strengthen team interaction and capability
• Sharpen their leadership abilities
• Strengthen their decision making capacities
• Improve their creativity and problem solving abilities
