The core of the issue is not the child, it’s the parental unconscious. The parent-child relation becomes the spiritual generative relationship of our life’s.

Generative Parenting

Talk by Rita Aleluia

All Levels

This presentation is about being awake and conscious of what’s happening inside you and with you, as parents, as “adult children”. How you can change, how you can grow and how you can use that awareness to transform your family’s dynamic, forever. Generative Parenting shows you that it’s only when you compromise, when you put yourself in the spotlight you are able to change and when you actually change, everything around you transforms itself. You communicate with an open heart, it’s the basis of a profound connection with yourself and consequently with your child. When you choose responsibility, coherence, acceptance, authenticity and creativity, when you look at your child with equal dignity, you are walking through Generative Parenting. And how comforting it is, to know there exists a larger space to creativity and that “things are what they are” and that “everything is always fine”. You have it all in you! You can do it! We can do it!

How I used the SFM Collaboration Spiral to Develop the Business of My Dreams!

Demo by Ronald Bauer

All Levels

The SFM Collaboration  Spiral is the foundation for the entire process and is designed to bring all the tools and processes of the program together, It is the lynchpin to creating the generative process that is essential to the entire process and what bridges individual, intuitive identity with the unknown (undiscovered) resources which, when accessed ignite the latent spark “awakening” the soul and bringing the resources together, just the right resources and success factors to access the right tools necessary to create the business of your dreams!

Therefore, I would like to share what I learned through my process to help participants discover and apply the key success factors from someone who has invested months working the process and sharing how the process “really works” inspiring and motivating participants to go through the process believing on an identity level that SFM process really works!!!!

Teams and Organizations: develop your collective intelligence skills!

Demonstration by Elisabeth Falcone and Isabelle Meiss

All Levels

Do you want to experiment with an exclusive tool that assesses the level of collective intelligence present in an organization?

A group of facilitators, members of the Dilts Strategy Group, had the intention in recent years to model organizations that work in Collective Intelligence and determine what are the key factors, including “the difference that makes the difference”. The purpose of this study was to take the measure on the ground of the last trends and ideas found by teams and organizations to increase Collective Intelligence, in order to address the challenges and to utilize the opportunities in the current economic context.

The tool “PERICEO” (Project for Study and Research on Collective Intelligence) has been created.
Through this presentation, you will be able to experiment with this exclusive tool for assessing the level of collective intelligence present in an organization. Enable managers and leaders to develop collective intelligence within their teams and organizations. Allow coaches and consultants to have an exclusive tool to intervene in organizations.

Balancing the Ego and Soul of a Business

Workshop by Mickey Feher

Level: Advanced

Learn about what does it mean to balance the two sides of the “scale”. Traditionally, we have treated Profit as the Enemy of Purpose and vice versa. But what does it mean balancing the two sides of a business on a practical level? Come and hear several case studies of how to strive to create equilibrium with help of “Generative Consulting” and employing Generative Change in a business. We will explore practical tools that enable a business creating sustainable cultural change through treating employees as a key stakeholder, while also keeping investor’s expectations and the larger environment and system around the business in the focus of leadership. We will introduce how a religious institution, a healthcare company, and a large multinational energy business welcomed the generative change approach with a common goal of achieving larger engagement and higher efficiency.

Taoism and Generative Change

Talk by Weikai Hung

Level: Beginner, Intermediate

This presentation will discuss how ancient Chinese wisdom, Taoism fits into generative change 6 steps model. Taoism talks about going with flow and non-action states. In generative change, we open up the COACH field and develop Generative state. These states are identical. In generative change, we see transforming obstacles. In Tao’s Tai Chi photo, we see an ever-changing line between Yin and Yang. To be creative in life, we need to see and experience transformation and ever-changing line. This presentation will provide one exercise to further understand these concepts and how to utilize them in real life.

Introducing the Alexander Technique as a means to support and develop mind-body generative states

Workshop by Judith Lowe

All Levels

The Alexander Technique is an established approach to mind-body awareness and integration, as well as working to optimize the mechanical efficiencies of everyday movement. Its mainly used by actors and musicians to support open, fluid performance. Its also known to help with chronic back pain and similar physical difficulties that have arisen from poor ‘use’ of the body. Through the trained hands and movement of your teacher you learn to bring subtle awareness to your own body and your movements and to your own ‘blind spot’ fixed, habitual patterns of neuromuscular contraction. I have been a student of the technique with regular lessons from my beloved teachers for over 30 years. I often use very simplified Alexander Technique activities in my training and coaching to help clients access the open and spacious, relaxed readiness type states that are the prerequisite for generative change processes. In this workshop I aim to share my version of these simple, practical approaches through partner exercises in which feedback is gently given through the hands, particularly in the neck, shoulders and arms to help people identify how and where they are ‘holding’ and locking their free movement and breathing. I also want to make connections from these experiences to more mental constructs , habits and filters so that the desired sense and understanding of ‘spaciousness and readiness’ can be enriched. I have had many positive responses to this work over the years and have found that it can make a meaningful difference to people, for example in the process of setting goals, accessing resources etc.

Worksop by Christine Wank

All Levels

In this experiential and very practical 2 hour workshop, we will dive into a process of Generative Facilitation how you can help leadership teams, groups and organizations to activate their creative resources for shifting the way how they listen, communicate and relate with self and one another in a more meaningful, connected and purposeful way.

After a short introduction how you can activate your inner resources such as Curiosity (playfulness), Compassion (loving kindness) and Courage (fierceness) for co-creating a generative field collectively we will have a practical exercise on how you can apply them in the way how you listen and communicate in a more generative and creative way in working with groups (and also in generative coaching). We will reflect and share several ways how you can use and adapt this process in different contexts such as leadership teams, generative collaborations, large group interventions, strategy workshops and generative coaching.

Generative Use of Self in Generative Trance and Generative Coaching

Workshop by Eva Wieprecht

All Levels

This highly experiential workshop we will focus on the change artist itself as a vehicle to support Generative Change. In the generative conversation between client and coach the coaches capacities to use himself in artistic, fluid ways plays a key role in the mastery for change. Most undesirable patterns that are still active today and inevitably re-enter the conversation when we invite the client to cross a threshold into unknown territory are learned in significant relationships. When we invite the client to move and grow beyond these patterns the quality of the relationship between client and coach is a key and needs to be significantly as deep as the relationship as the original patterns developed. We will focus in these two hours on how to activate a clear vertical channel within the coach and to open the horizontal channel to invite the client into the conversation. We will train possible preparation steps for the coach and train relationship exercises to strengthen the relationships skills between coach and client.

Access the Field Intelligence – Practical Aspects of Utilizing Shamanic Tools

Workshop by Kathrin M. Wyss

Level: Intermediate

In the shamanic perspective, all is animated and hence can be accessed to get information, teams, products, company spaces and so on. Not only to inquire about the current state but also about the visions, challenges ahead or ideas on how to proceed. In this hands-on workshop, I share not only business applications and past cases, but we also will do 2 journeys (sitting in a chair) to allow you hands-on experiences. Bring an open mind, some 1 business question you like to have input on and something to cover your eyes (optional).
