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 & Richard Olivier

Symmetries of Power and Performance:
Exploring the Internal & External Disciplines of Leadership - 8 June 2010

The Re-imagination of Success:
Lessons & Courageous Conversations from the Financial Crisis – 15 October 2010

Join us for one or both of these special collaborative workshops bringing together the individual brilliance of David Whyte & Richard Olivier. Richard and David have independently established them¬selves as artists in their own right, one as a director and interpreter of Shakespeare, one as a poet, and both as thought leaders and experienced practitioners in the field of organisational development and leadership. They both travel the world speaking to multi-national companies, business schools and at leading edge conferences.

“Everyone I met was raving about him. The delegates were like a ‘who’s who’ of British Industry and Whyte stole the show”

“Management is theatre – nobody conveys that better than Richard Olivier”

Symmetries of Power & Performance
8 June 2010, 9.30am-4.30pm

David & Richard have combined their talents for this day to take apart their own approach and present a detailed sense of the way they work and the elements that make up a successful intervention in organisational life through an approach based on the discipline of the artist. This is a day founded on insight and dedicated in more ways than one to your performance whether you are an executive or a manager, a coach or a consultant or an artist trying to work in a useful way in the world of the bottom line.

The Re-Imagination of Success
15 October 2010, 9.30am–4.30pm

The banking and investment system and the reward system that underpins both have been shown to be practically and morally bankrupt. The individual bonus system and the individual approach to success have created imbalances, envy and fissures in society that have brought us to the edge of disaster..... Yet these dynamics are simply magnified versions of the reward system that lays at the heart our educational systems, our approach to individual success and our very identities.

The great challenge and the great calling of our times might be to live larger than our fears.

For further information click here or please contact us info@thebeyondpartnership.co.uk

These workshops form a coherent pairing and each workshops also stands alone on its own merits and design.

Fees:

One Day £275+VAT
Both Days £500+VAT

Location:

Central London

David’s work has struck a resonant chord within organisations and the personal and professional development arenas around the world. The poet can lead where the strategic business mind cannot take us. He is the author of 3 books of prose including Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity plus 5 books of poetry including River Flow - New & Selected Poems 1984–2007.

Richard is the founding voice of Mythodrama, which combines great leadership stories from Shakespeare with models from organisational best practice. His work is at the leading edge of bringing the world of theatre and the arts into the development of authentic leaders. He is an Associate Fellow, Templeton College, Oxford and was guest speaker at the 2003 and 2009 World Economic Forums in Davos.

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

Somatic Intelligence

Our Somatic Intelligence workshops are designed for leaders and managers and anyone else who wishes to develop their capacity for centred leadership, aligning mind and body and enhancing self awareness and the awareness of others,. The workshops draw on various approaches to mind and body development and on selected models of leadership and management. We draw notably on practices derived from the revolutionary martial art of Aikido, including the work of Wendy Palmer and Richard Strozzi Heckler and from mindfulness practices and NLP. The workshops 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 have integrity, clarity and are capable of being creative and effective. We work with such themes as centering under pressure, leadership and followership, advocating and listening from centre. The workshops are led by Paul King, co-founder and Managing Director of The Beyond Partnership and currently one of only two people in Europe certified to teach The Conscious Embodiment work of Wendy Palmer.

“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

Transforming Leadership: Lessons 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 and Guests - Starts 13 September 2011

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”.

We offer seminars and courses in Spiral Dynamics and the original work of Clare Graves on which Spiral Dynamics is based, including full certificated training with Chris and Natasha.

Facets of Personality and MBTI

Discover the application potential of Myers-Briggs typology. Incorporating the basic MBTI Step I model, Facets of Personality explores the broader model and applications of MBTI Step II.

This complete package includes:

• The on-line MBTI Step II questionnaire (incorporating Step I).
• A 22 page personal profile report.
• A 1 hour coaching session to review and discuss your profile.
• A day with others looking at the Myers-Briggs model, including the extra dimensions and subtlety presented by Step II. We will explore the implications of the additional perspectives presented and consider the further applications that arise from this more detailed analysis.

Next Event

Date: TBA

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.
