If you are looking to expand your work with Emotional Intelligence and want to add a cutting-edge instrument to your tool kit, please read the information below and check out our website at http://learninginaction.com. That will inform you about the EQ In Action Profile and provide names of coaches and consultants who are using the instrument across North America and now in Asia, Mexico, and Central America. If you know a colleague who may be interested, please pass this on.

Unique Features of the EQ In Action Profile Include:

• The focus is on you in relationship.
• A unique methodology of watching 8 short video segments of persons talking directly to you. You then report your experience. It measures the impact on you now, not what you would do or have done. It is not a self-report tool.
• It is a developmental tool. There is No Emotional Intelligence grade.
• The instrument is used for both individuals and teams. The report comes with an EQ Fitness Handbook  You In Relationship – Practices for Daily Living. Learning In Action Technologies' primary work is to train and support our clients (coaches and consultants) in being their best. We offer support after you complete certification and additional training that is either free or has a modest fee.

OCTOBER 11-13, 2013
AN INVITATION TO WARRIORSHIP
A Retreat with Margaret Wheatley Nalanda West
Seattle, Washington USA What would it mean to claim a new role for ourselves in this darkening time, that of warriors for the human spirit? Most cultures have the tradition of warriors, those few people entrusted with defending the faith, the culture or the kingdom. In Tibetan, "warrior" means one who is brave enough to never use aggression. An ancient Tibetan prophecy states: "There comes a time when all life on Earth is in danger. Great barbarian powers have arisen. Although these powers spend their wealth in preparations to annihilate one another, they have much in common: weapons of unfathomable destructive power, and technologies that lay waste our world. In this era, when the future of sentient life hangs by the frailest of threads, the warriors emerge." As warriors we look like normal people doing regular jobs. However, we are extremely well-armed with two "weapons" -- compassion and insight. Well-trained in their use, we go into the corridors of power to dismantle the beliefs and behaviors that are destroying life. As warriors, we do not succumb to aggression or become paralyzed by fear. We know where best to offer the skillful means of compassion and insight. What does it mean for us to consciously choose the warrior role, to take our seat so that we may serve well in this destructive time? This retreat is based on Meg's most recent book,

So Far From Home: Lost and Found in Our Brave New World <http://www.margaretwheatley.com/books.html > (Berrett-Koehler, October 2012), which describes how we ended up in a world no one wants, a harsh, destructive world that's emerged in spite of our best efforts to change it. And it invites us to take on a new role for ourselves, as warriors for the human spirit.

We are excited to announce several new additions to the OD Network's Center for Professional Development.

We have heard loud and clear that you want additional professional development opportunities that are cutting edge, practical, and informative.

Based on your feedback we are starting several new programs for OD Network members:

Webinars: We are launching a new series of webinars that will bring innovators and thought leaders to you in 90 minute sessions dealing with concepts and ideas that are foundational to your practice and will define the future of the field.

We pleased to announce that our first webinar, entitled "VISUALIZING PROCESS: Finding the Patterns That Connect" will feature David Sibbet, renowned systems thinker and graphic facilitator, and Lisa Kimball, futurist and former OD Network board member. Among other topics, David will explain how the Drexler-Sibbet Team Performance Model reveals behavior patterns based on systems theory.

This 90-minute interactive webinar is especially helpful for experienced OD practitioners, as well as new practitioners and students. Key learning and takeaways from this session:

• Short background on the Visual Leadership series for Wiley & Sons beginning to define the world of process visualization.
• Story of the shift from thinking about form and structure as what integrates organization to appreciating the process and purpose are more fundamental.
• Visual demonstration of how to visualize process in meetings, teams and org change.
• Introduction to the theory behind The Grove's work: The Theory of Process by Arthur M. Young
• Exploring the implications for OD of truly understanding the nature of process.

Mark your calendar now for Thursday, September 12, 2013, 2:30 PM (Central Time), 90 minutes. Click here for information and to register.

Watch your email for future webinar topics and the diverse roster of presenters.

Many thanks to Kris Lea and Professional Development Committee members Tanjia Coleman, Denise Easton, Janelle Farris, Barret Horne, Judy Weber-Lucas, and Carlee Wolfe who are leading this effort and creating a wonderful program for our members.

Coaching and Mentoring Programs: In the coming weeks, we'll be launching two programs for OD Network members, one to provide one-on-coaching, and one to provide one-on-one mentoring. This program will bring together the experienced members of the Network with those who are just entering the field or looking for more guidance about OD.

Many thanks to Denny Gallagher and committee members Chris Brabon, Karen James, Hester Darcy and Page Anne Smith who have developed this program for the Network and which we're proud to get underway soon.
