Bob will do this session live via zoom meeting from his home in Florida.
In this session you will learn about The Covert Processes Model™ and the five hidden dimensions that impact organizational change including: organizational politics, inspirations, emotions, mindsets, and psychodynamics. All of these hidden processes limit choice, block creativity, and trap individuals, groups and organizations in repetitive and often self-defeating behavior patterns. The evening’s session will bring together the spoken and the unspoken, the literal and the symbolic, and the conscious and the unconscious in order to help you learn how to hear what is not said, see what is not present, and feel what is not expressed. The evening will include discussion of the basic keys and approaches needed to “put things on-the-table” for open engagement. Additional tips and ethical considerations will also be discussed. Please come with a back-home case in mind for reflection and application of the ideas.
