Workshops and Seminars

 "These seminars are enriching to the soul as well as the mind, and are essential for leaders in today's complex and interconnected world. Leadership is key to your organization's competitive advantage and success in today's world, and John Forman is just the person to facilitate seminars on the topic - he's insightful, creative, and compassionate."

Professor Gerry Gingrich, National Defense University , Fort McNair

 "Other business enhancement/change workshops can lead to insights or even provide momentary inspiration. The Integral Leadership Development Program, however, stands out in the field of business consulting, primarily because it is led by an unusual combination of highly skilled leaders from very diverse fields who successfully integrate business, scientific and spiritual approaches to change. Working with these visionaries led to a deeper understanding of people and problems within our organization, and this has allowed identification of problem solving paths never before available to me. I think any organization could benefit by sending key leaders to the Integral Leadership Development Program."

Donna Zahara, Corporate Director, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago

"I found the intensive both intellectually fascinating and challenging. The knowledge and insights gained have been useful in furthering my personal development and that of the organization I'm privileged to lead. The application of these insights and knowledge has been both challenging and rewarding for me. On occasion I experience growth in myself and my team. And on other days, I struggle to better understand. Still, there is forward movement and progress."

John P. Masterson, Executive Director, Behavioral Health Resources

 "Attending an IDA intensive workshop was a fantastic experience. The participants themselves were amazing people, as were the instructors. I found the integral theories presented there to be most useful tools for understanding the various complex relationships I have in my professional and personal lives. I learned about ways to evolve so as to improve communication with those with whom I share my life, such that all of our very important needs could be reasonably met. I applaud the work of the Associates, and hope that their theories will be applied worldwide in the not-too-distant future."

Chris Gaynor, MD, Faculty, Seattle Indian Health Board

 "The leadership intensive exposed me to a way of understanding the point of view of others. Without this knowledge it was easy to assume that all facts are self-explanatory and would be interpreted the same by all. "

John Todd, M.D., Chief Executive Officer/Chief Medical Officer, Stevens Hospital

 “As participants, we developed supportive relationships, challenged our ways of thinking and applied the learnings in a way that allowed us to move forward through tough situations. I highly recommend the Intensive."

Julie Bowen, United States Environmental Protection Agency

"During and after the Leadership Intensive, new doors and new possibilities opened. All of the exercises and presentations set me up to take the learning and translate it into practical action from compassion and awareness. The delightful part was this works for your own individual life, your work life, your community... it applies anywhere; it's completely up to you where you take it."

Ann Moore, PhD, Director of Human Resources Development, Milwaukee County Mental Health Division
