“People have emotions, also at work”

Grief is an inevitable part of life, it accompanies us whenever there is change, large or small, good or bad. It is part of our amazing human pallet of emotions that guide how humans navigate life. Often, people avoid talking or sharing about grief, especially in organizations. This relegates grief to the realm of the personal. By keeping it silent, it finds its way into other areas, pulling people away from genuine contact with themselves, with others, with their organizations, and with their communities. This is a shame since beyond grief is often new beginnings and new energy. By not working with grief, we also deny the opportunity for the transformation that follows.

During this workshop, we will offer you ways to learn about and work with grief by using the simple framework from the Genuine Contact Program. We will use it as a doorway into the varied world that grief inhabits so that it is possible to learn to work with it as the important gift that it is in living and working as a whole person.

During the workshop, we will

Learn to use the grief cycle diagram to develop a multi-dimensional sense of grief and how it manifests
Deepen your understanding of the varied ways grief can show up so that you can develop life-nurturing ways to work with it
Recognize the varied expressions of each stage of grief in yourself, others and organizations
Learn how to work with grief as an ally for change and transformation

In this self-study program, learn a new way to work with and speak about grief as an ally in the development of yourself and your organization.

By creating life-nurturing processes, practices, structures, and developing the conduct that enables people to work in ways that honor life and nature Genuine Contact has just been a wonderful framework within which to approach organizational challenges.

Doris has a special interest in working with grief, as she has found that so many of her clients struggle with the effects of unrecognized grief within their organizations and personal lives. It has been a special benefit of working with Genuine Contact to have structure, processes, and methods that allow for grief to become something that is acknowledged as part of the complex life of an organization.
