Unearthing Your Conduct as a Leader
Unearthing your Conduct as a Leader (Self-Study Program)

This workshop will provide you with insight into your “conduct” for leading yourself successfully to accomplish your vision. Whether you work within an organization or are the leader of your own business, it is important that the way you act is aligned with your deeper values, purpose, and spirit of intent.  When your conduct is consistent each action helps you create what you would like to see in your life and world.  When you have developed a conscious awareness of this alignment it will help you in each decision you make as you move as a leader on your path.

During this workshop, originally recorded in November 2019, we will use the Deep Essence Tool from the Genuine Contact program to:

  • guide you into clarity about your own conduct to help you see where you are in balance and where you are not.
  • draw to your consciousness how to align your conduct to that which you want to bring into the world.
  • Deepen your understanding of how your unique conduct is linked to your experience, and become clear on where you may want to make adjustments to help you become more consistent

This will help you to DO Leadership – to develop a consequent set of actions that are consistent with your deeper purpose and vision.  It means developing a way to conduct yourself, a way to be that feels in harmony with what you are creating.

The English word Conduct elegantly describes this combination of action harmonized with your deeper values and purpose in the world.  Conduct is what helps you to move in new directions when you don’t know what to do.  It is what guides you in your difficult decisions when it is unclear which path to choose, it is the set of behaviors, structures, assumptions and values that guide you in daily life. It is something you DO internally and something that is experienced by others who interact with you.  When your conduct is consistent with this purpose and vision it acts as a guide you can trust to lead you to the right action.  When it is inconsistent you can enter into confusion, this will be experienced by you and those around you.

culture of leadership
Creating a Culture of Leadership in Communities (Self-Study Program)

What is needed to create a culture of leadership in a community, an association, or a network where people work voluntarily for a common interest? A culture of leadership is a culture where the leadership for taking initiatives and achieving results is shared among many, such as in neighborhood organizations, climate actions, sports clubs, or the church.

Voluntary organizations often engage a lot of people when they begin as a movement or as an answer to a need in the community. When the start-up phase is done, the organization is established and a steering committee is elected, it seems as if other members don´t think they are needed any longer. This leaves a small group of people to carry out the necessary tasks to keep the organization alive and so the members can still enjoy the benefits.

In this workshop, we discuss what you, as part of a steering committee or board, could do to keep the vibrant life in a new organization over time. You will also learn how you can support a dormant organization to be the bustling meeting place it was in the beginning. The organization you support could be a political party, a sports association, an economic association, a choir, a parents’ group, or any other organization, that depends only on engaged people doing the work for the benefit of all members.

You will leave this self-study workshop with:

  • Knowledge about a culture of leadership and how it can support engagement in voluntary organizations
  • Key elements to work with
  • Some first steps to re-create engagement and passion
  • Pitfalls to watch out for

Leading an organization based only on voluntary work requires a somewhat different perspective than working with employed people. The main difference is that you can only count on their passion and spare time to get the work down, and this makes self-organization and shared responsibility keys to success.

Board Governance the GC Way Feature
Board Governance the Genuine Contact Way (Self-Study Program)

In our work with Non-Profits, it’s common to witness well-intended people of a Board of Directors getting bogged down. Good people become exhausted and conform to a status quo of “this is how we always do it.” Parking lot discussions of “what we should really be doing” amongst a few replace discussions in the Board room. Frustration is high. Often apathy sets in. Good solutions from good people don’t make it to the Board for consideration.

It is possible to turn this around, even quickly. Learn how we use the Genuine Contact way as a holistic approach to support Boards of Directors to perform using the combined wisdom and energy that the members of the BOD bring. The Genuine Contact way provides guidance regarding the implementation of a culture of leadership at the BOD level. This involves the BOD shifting to operating with a leadership model of policy governance.

Key Areas To Be Covered:

  1. Board Governance/Risk Management
  2. Creativity, Innovation, Collaboration
  3. Decision Making
  4. Improving the Board Meeting

This workshop will support you in making the most of your Board’s contributions to your organization, to improve the vital work that only the BOD is positioned to do, and to do it well. By attending, you will pick up tips, techniques, and knowledge to renew, re-energize, and harvest ideas for working even better together.

Leading so People will Lead (Self-Study Program)

Supporting you in developing your leadership for leading so people will lead

Gone are the days when leading so people will follow is sufficient. As organizations need to become more agile, innovative, collaborative, and perform well within the background of constant change, leaders are learning how to lead in the new leadership paradigm “Lead so People will Lead”.

This may make logical sense to you. A question lingers that this specialty workshop is designed to help you answer. The question that lingers is “am I ready to lead so people will lead?” This question is directly linked to “am I ready to let go of the control I have when I lead for people to follow?”

By participating in Leading so People will Lead, you will increase your capacity to meet the expanded leadership accountability needed in today’s performance environment of constant change. This workshop offers an important step forward in supporting leaders and their organizations to develop in a way to:

  • maintain a constant state of adaptability and flexibility
  • ensure gender equality
  • maintain organization-wide impeccable ethics
  • pay attention to economic, social and environmental good while thriving financially

During this workshop, you will be guided to:

  • discern the difference between leading so people will follow and leading so people will lead
  • develop clarity about your readiness to lead so people will lead and to coach/mentor others in being able to do so
  • determine your engagement with pioneering in the new leadership paradigm and what this means to your life and your business
  • construct a plan for yourself to assist you in your personal and business transformation
  • identify your next best step to guide you in implementation
  • create a mechanism for monitoring and adjusting your progress

Leading from a Place of Truth (Self-Study)
Leading from a Place of Truth (Self-Study)

There seems to be something magical in all of us that inspires us to lead our life in our unique way and informs our choices. This special purpose and path that only we have, can become nectar to our soul and our communities  – when we acknowledge, live and gift it wholeheartedly.

I unfortunately sometimes get overloaded with tasks, and as a result disconnect from my inner spark and while I might accomplish my to-dos I feel doubtful and exhausted.

Remembering one’s own leadership and purpose is heart and mind opening. Acknowledging our strength and talents and the contributions we are making heals our wounds and rejuvenates us. During the workshop, you will diagnose your personal leadership situation. You’ll (re-)connect to what is true for you – so you’ll lead even more from a place of truth – inspired and vitalized by your own leadership development.

You’ll be introduced to the Four Fold Way by Dr. Angeles Arrien – a holistic perspective on leadership, along with other tools from the Genuine Contact program.

You’ll leave this workshop with:

  • a refreshed sense of purpose
  • a clear vision of what supports you in your own leadership development
  • ideas how to nurture yourself so you can be of service to others
  • fresh thoughts to ponder about that spark your curiosity and excitement
  • revitalized sense of leadership

The Four Fold Way

Combining four archetypes with principles:

  • Show up, or choose to be present. Being present allows us to access the human resources of power, presence, and communication. This is the way of the Warrior.
  • Pay attention to what has heart and meaning. Paying attention opens us to the human resources of love, gratitude, acknowledgment, and validation. This is the way of the Healer.
  • Tell the truth without blame or judgment. Nonjudgmental truthfulness remains our authenticity and develops our inner vision and intuition. This is the way of the Visionary.
  • Be open to outcome, not attached to outcome. Openness and non-attachment helps us to recover the human resources of wisdom and objectivity. This is the way of the Teacher.

Meetings that Engage
Meetings that Engage (Self-Study Program)

In this Genuine Contact Specialty workshop, you will learn a practical tool, the Transfer-In, that could be used at the start of a meeting (series) to help participants fully engage in the meeting with the topic at hand. You will experience and learn how this helps participants slow down to be able to go fast, how it reduces typical ‘wastes-of-time’ because of conflict, positioning and other dynamics and how it helps people to be aware of what intention brought them to the meeting.

When people come together to meet around a common purpose or activity, whether in organizations or communities, it should be exciting, energizing and come with great learning. Often though this is not the case. Meetings are felt to be boring, useless and people feel it was a waste of time. People even start to avoid meetings. Now, this is really a waste of the great resource of knowledge and experience that people bring when they meet together.

When we call people to a meeting we should make use of their whole being, all their experience and knowledge. We should invite them fully to allow for the best possible outcome.

Genuine Contact offers a way to fully engage participants in a meeting no matter what the meeting is about or what meeting method you use. In this online workshop, you will learn:

  • A deepening of your understanding of the importance of full engagement of meeting participants
  • An easy and playful tool to invite participants to fully engage in the meeting
  • A key aspect of the Genuine Contact approach to organizational success

Conscious Project Design using the Medicine Wheel Tool
Conscious Project Design using the Medicine Wheel Tool (Self-Study Program)

Starting a new project – whether in life or business – is always exciting. There’s something about the idea of transforming thoughts into reality that makes us want to do things differently, more effectively than we have done in projects before. I’ve learned that using the Medicine Wheel Tool is pivotal in getting ready for what’s on the way. And the more conscious you are about what you truly want to achieve, the easier it is to plan ahead.

You’ll leave this workshop, originally recorded in January 2020, with:

  • a clear sense of what your intention is for your project that is starting and why knowing the difference between the purpose for your project and your intention for the purpose of this project can make all the difference in feeling successful
  • a simple and profound holistic framework for your project that will ensure you’ve considered it from every angle
  • a workbook that will allow you to replicate the experience for any other project

This workshop, based on the Genuine Contact Program can be used for your own work and also, in helping others design their own projects in a conscious and holistic way.
