Presencing Global Classroom
Collective Leadership for Profound Innovation and Change
| November 2-6, 2009 Chatham, MA, USA (2-hour drive from Boston) Wequassett Resort and Golf Club  Facilitated by: » C. Otto Scharmer » Beth Jandernoa » Arawana Hayashi The Presencing Foundation Program introduces the U-process and Theory U, a social technology for helping to bring about profound innovation and change. The focus of this method is on sensing and actualizing emerging future opportunities, both individually and collectively. In this program you will learn how to sense and seize future opportunities and how to connect to the deeper journey of your professional and personal life in order to become a more effective leader and change-maker in your work environment. We encourage participants to attend in teams. In working with leadership teams across sectors and industries, Otto Scharmer realized that leaders could not meet their existing challenges by operating on the basis of past experience alone. A synthesis of his most recent research has resulted in a framework and practice called presencing, which he elaborates in Theory U: Leading from the Future as It Emerges (2007), and in Presence: An Exploration of Profound Change in People, Organizations, and Society (2005), co-authored with Peter Senge, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue Flowers. With his colleagues, Scharmer has used presencing to facilitate profound innovation and change processes both within companies and across societal systems. For more information on Presencing: www.Presencing.com. Beth Jandernoa, who has over 20 years of experience in organizational learning work and dialogue processes in business, healthcare, education, government, and community non-profits, will help participants understand and apply the tools and practices of Presencing. Arawana Hayashi, a dancer, choreographer, and teacher, will introduce Presencing Embodiment Practices as well as offer meditation techniques that help participants to work more holistically.

This four-day experiential workshop is for leaders and teams at all levels. It introduces a collective leadership methodology for sensing and facilitating profound innovation and change both within organizations and across societal systems. A large portion of the Presencing workshop is dedicated to case clinics, where participants will apply what they are learning to challenges and projects in their own work. Participants will benefit the most from this workshop by coming with a concrete project or challenge that you are working on and/or by attending with one or more colleagues/ stakeholders. If you work in a consultant or facilitator role, we encourage you to participate with a client. This workshop will be of particular value to teams in the early stages of working on joint projects. While developing their individual and collective leadership capacities, participants will simultaneously create a shared vision for their projects, engage with internal and external stakeholders, and prototype new ideas. |
