David Richo

Last year Dave Richo ran his first UK workshop for us, under the title, Saying Yes to the Givens of Life & Relationships, based on one of his recent books. The participants loved it. We are currently working with him to arrange another workshop.
The five significant givens are:

1. Everything changes and ends,
2. Things do not always go according to plan,
3. Life is not always fair,
4. Pain is part of life,
5. People are not loving and loyal all the time.

Dave explored with us how we cannot find real contentment and success in our lives until we acknowledge and come to terms with these facts and gave us many practical ways of looking at and facilitating change and the development of true emotional intelligence.

Dave Richo, Ph.D., is a psychotherapist, teacher, and writer who draws upon Jungian, Buddhist, and poetic perspectives in his work. He leads popular workshops at the famous Esalen Institute, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and Santa Barbara City College. He is the author of How to Be an Adult, How to Be an Adult in Relationships, and Shadow Dance: Liberating the Power and Creativity of Your Dark Side. His latest book is The Five Things We Cannot Change and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them (Shambhala, 2005).

“I’ve had so many insights since the weekend with David I’m not sure I can keep up with the learning”. CH, Consultant

David Whyte

Life at the Frontier: Navigating the Difficult Transitions of Life & Leadership

Workshop 25 September 2009

Self Knowledge: The Inner Foundations of a Robust Outer Life

Salon Series, 28/29 September, 7/8 December 2009 & 22/23 March 2010

Poet David Whyte is returning with more inspiring, challenging and thought provoking presentations. His workshops are things to behold, relevant for anyone. The Salons are designed for a small group of people, with participants meeting together with David 3 times during the year for a day and a half each salon to engage in “close-in” conversations. In his unique way during the salons and workshops he will again hold up that mirror for us to reflect on our inner and outer lives and ask us those questions we need to be asking ourselves. David Whyte has struck a resonant chord within organisations and the personal and professional development arenas around the world. He is the author of The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America, and Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity plus 5 books of poetry including River Flow, New & Selected Poems 1984–2007. His latest prose book, The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work, Self and Relationship was published in January 2009.

The poet can lead us where the strategic business mind cannot take us.

Start close in,
don’t take the second step
or the third,
start with the first
thing
close in
the step
you don’t want to take.
David Whyte

Previous participant comments include:

“A spa day for the soul",
"A powerful experience in every sense",
"The synergy between poetry and business has been enlightening",
"Wonderful".

Conscious Embodiment

Level 1 – Somatic Intelligence, Centred Leadership & Personal Resilience
Paul King – Part 1: 4 July & Part 2: 25 July 2009

For further information click here

Level 2 – Embodied Leadership – Empowered Life
Wendy Palmer – 3/4 October 2009

For further information click here

Conscious Embodiment is derived from the revolutionary non-aggressive martial art of Aikido and mindfulness practice and was created by Wendy Palmer. This model teaches a simple method for developing a personal "centering" practice. The workshops will involve movement, fully engaging the body in the process of learning about our habitual ways of behaving and thinking and developing alternative responses and actions that cultivates an embodied presence that has integrity, clarity and is capable of being creative and effective in work/home life situations. We will work with such themes as centering under pressure, leadership and followership, advocating and listening from centre. Wendy Palmer is a sixth degree Black Belt in Aikido and teaches at Aikido of Tamalpais in Sausalito, California. Paul King is co-founder and Managing Director of The Beyond Partnership and is currently the only certified teacher of this work in Europe.

“If you are afraid of something become interested in it.”

Personal Development Evening Culminating in a Firewalk Marie Faire and Others

This is an evening to remember. Each activity is carefully chosen and facilitated to explore the fears and blocks in our life that stop us becoming and being all we can be.

"If somebody wants to challenge and to learn more about themselves – in a variety of different ways – to push their own boundaries in an environment which feels safe, friendly, caring, supportive and non-pressured, then this is a fabulous way to do it…..quickly and enjoyably. There is always the choice to trust your own instincts and choose not to do something and to know that’s OK too."
J.F., Director, April 2007

Lessons for Leadership from Horse Whispering

A powerful and profound 2-day experiential leadership development event exploring the fundamental principles of leadership through learning and applying the art of horse whispering.

For many of us there is sometimes a gap between theory and practice, between what we know and what we do. In this course you will discover where some of those gaps are and how to become a more effective leader and communicator. Working with horses participants come face to face with their personal challenges of leadership and communication. It is profound learning and development. Personal coaching, both in the ring and outside; watching others and group discussion clarifies the principles and lessons for effective leadership in theory and in personal practice.

"The course provided instant feedback and the opportunity to transfer learning to organisational behaviours. I was curious and found the course to be both challenging and thrilling with constant feedback and discussion. The horse waits for your guidance, scary and thrilling and the best adventure I have experienced in my person development. I believe the size of the group contributed to my learning and provided the right balance of see one, do one etc. The accommodation was nice and the arrangements at the farm well organised and the timely application of learning to the organisational contexts was great".
SB, Director of Service Delivery

"For me, no other development programme has come close in terms of the impact and clarity of learning about how I can engage, motivate and inspire others. This is real, accelerated development, simple, clear and starkly self-evident".
LM Management Consultant.

"A development experience like no other - in working with the horses you experience profound and pure feedback, not clouded by agendas, egos, politics and so on. The learning from this will stay with me forever - the lessons for life and learning are amazing".
SJ, CE

The Beyond NLP Trainer Training - On Becoming an Empty Flute

Marie Faire with Liz and Ian Newton and Guests - Starts 15 September 2008

Being a great trainer or presenter is much more than developing good skills; it is about finding one’s identity and authentic expression. It is about taking your ego out of the way and becoming “an empty flute”. This training is designed for NLP Master Practitioners who already have some training or facilitation experience and who want to make a step change in their ability to work with and lead groups and become an excellent NLP trainer.

It is a 20 day modular training running over 6 months. Participants will have plenty of opportunity to present and receive feedback during the modules and will be set tasks and assignments throughout the programme and will have the opportunity to model guest trainers. The training is carefully designed to enable you to become fluent in essential training skills and group dynamics and to find your authentic expression as a trainer

"As an experienced trainer, I signed up for this programme hoping to further embed NLP into my ways of thinking and being. I have certainly done that, and I got a lot more besides. I genuinely feel that I am a better trainer for attending this programme, whatever I am delivering, I learned how to dance with my learners, and mostly avoid treading on their toes! I liked the structure of the modules, particularly the guest trainers, and of course I loved the venue - it made a real difference for me to be in such an inspiring and comfortable environment”. LM Training Consultant

• A 22 page personal profile report.
• A 1 hour coaching session to review and discuss your profile.

MBTI Overview

MBTI theory describes 16 personality types which are derived from 4 dimensions of personality, Extrovert-Introvert, Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, Judging-Perceiving and suggests that we each have preferences for a particular aspect of each dimension. MBTI Step I classifies an individual according to these 16 types.

Many people who complete Step I find they agree with maybe 3 out of 4 of the dimensions identified but do so with a 'yes, but' feeling. In some way the profile doesn't quite 'fit'.

What Step II does is divide each personality trait into a further five facets and then indicates where someone has "out of preference" traits, where for example an individual who is generally an extrovert exhibits one or two facets where they are more like an introvert.

People completing Step II find the additional distinctions make their personal profile 'fit' better and when considering the profiles of others Step II provides greater understanding and much more useful information for relating to and managing others.
