Workshops

Integral Development Associates offers the following workshops through its own workshop series as well as on a customized-basis for in-house trainings.

Integral Leadership Development Intensive 
Integral leadership focuses on the leader dealing with increasingly complex conditions. Each leader’s individual capacity consists of a unique blend of key facets of human development – cognitive, emotional, physical, interpersonal, ethical, and spiritual. Understanding these is the most comprehensive way of developing oneself, guiding others, and building successful organizations. Based on the Integral Theory as developed by the most well-known philosopher of our time, Ken Wilber, and dozens of theorists and practitioners from around the world, what you learn at the Integral Organizational Leadership Seminars will help you to attain the higher ground of leadership that you seek by leveraging all your strengths – inner and outer.

The Re-enchantment of Work
Learn how to tap into a powerful source of dedication that will help you to re-energize and re-focus your work life as well as your private life. Infuse new energy into work-teams, direct reports and professional peers as well as family and other relationships. Practice these skills in a setting designed to engage spiritual renewal regardless of your specific background and practices.

Immunity to Change
Learn your way through intractable problems or opportunities that seem to be resistant to people’s best efforts to implement. Reconnect to your sense of purpose and commitment, while honoring and working with the ways that we can naturally but unconsciously hold ourselves back. By the conclusion of the workshop, you will have new ways to think about your situation as well as new actions to work with.

Attention Management
What is the nature of "attention"? Learn to make choices around multitasking and concentration.  Consider your attention to be a resource that you can intentionally direct as opposed to simply managing your time. You can also learn an associated approach to time-management based on the choices you make about your attention.

Re-energizing yourself
Learn to discern and engage four key pools of personal and group energy: the energy of commitment/intention, the energy of fruitful relationships, the energetic channels of emptying and refilling, and the energy in your physicality.

Platform for Performance
Understand the four quadrants of all human circumstances so that you can align Purpose, Principles, Processes and Behaviors. Learn how to discern and articulate your purpose, your group’s guiding principles, optimal organizational structure and specific deliverables of the organization within its ecology.

Value Delivery Systems
Would you like to step outside a ?sales? relationship with your clients, customers, patients or patrons? By the end of this workshop, you will understand how to become a trusted partner with your clients by seeing making them heroes in their constituent’s eyes and experience. Learn how to meet your clients where they are and how to provide the benefits that they seek based on the values that they hold most important.  

The Spectrum of Worldviews
Based on a wide array of developmental theories, this workshop uses lecture, presentation, film, music and experiences to help leaders and teams learn to see their own thinking and behavior from a larger perspective, as well as the potential "lenses" through which others may be seeing the same situation.  

Working with Intelligence
People in organizations rely on various key forms of "intelligences." This workshop helps leaders and teams become more adept at distinguishing the differences between – and roles of – awareness, emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills, moral development, spiritual maturity, physical awareness and other important aspects of individual and group performance.

Ethical Fitness
Today’s business environment is filled with examples of poor moral decision-making. Leaders interested in more than simply conforming to the financial reporting requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley can engage this workshop to begin comprehending different levels of moral development and the use of moral dilemma exercises as the path to enhancing ethical decision-making.

Conflict
Individuals and teams encounter at least three main types of conflict: destructive, constructive and one that may be less familiar to most people – re-constructive.  Learn how to distinguish which is which, and how to deal with conflict that is disruptive and destructive as well as conflict that is disruptive but positive. Re-constructive conflict is a powerful way to frame differences in experience and interpretation that are actually generative.
