Systems-centered training (called SCT) helps people not only see themselves but also see their larger context. This lowers the frustration and anguish of personalizing while increasing common sense and the capacity to take citizenship and membership in all of one’s contexts. For coaches, consultants and managers, SCT introduces a map for planning change strategies in a sequence that links interventions to the phase of development. By weakening the phase-relevant restraining forces, the inherent driving forces are released. In coaching individuals, one focuses on weakening the restraining forces that sustain the repetitive and personalized habitual roles, freeing the person to be able to take his or her role as citizen/member. For teams, learning to see one's self in context as a person, a member and a part of a team enables moving from person-centered to systems-centered. Susan Gantt, Ph.D. is the Director of the Systems-Centered Training and Research Institute, a psychologist in private practice in Atlanta, and a faculty member in the Emory University School of Medicine. She consults and trains in the US and Europe, and has co-authored the book Autobiography of a Theory with Yvonne Agazarian, as well as published journal articles on SCT. www.sct-institute.org |

Join Dr. Don Beck, Co-Author of Spiral Dynamics and Master Business Coach Mike Jay in a fluid conversation about what may be the most profound system for identifying the 'coaching space' as a meshworks of values. This will be a fast paced, high energy event with real examples, case studies, and powerful challenges. They will lay out an integral, interactive and interconnected road map with the use of an equation: HOW should WHO coach (lead, guide, inspire, prepare, motivate, train) WHOM to become, achieve, emerge, or acquire WHAT -- for WHICH clients Living WHERE.

Ever since there have been people, they have formed tribes. Put a person in GE and he’ll find his tribe (between 20 and 150 people), or in rare cases, wander as an outcast until he’s fired or quits. Once accepted, the member is “groomed” by the tribe, learning “how things are done around here.” An organization is a tribe. The purpose of Tribal Leadership is for leaders to change the DNA of a group, engineering “greatness” into the tribal code. This process requires a new kind of coaching and mentoring, which is the focus of this presentation.

The Enneagram, Myers-Briggs Life Indicator (MBTI) and Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) each bring a unique perspective to the question of work style and personal preference—with distinctive implications for executive coaching. Dr. Bergquist will introduce the ways in which these instruments interrelate, and how looking at the results of these instruments together can create a picture of individual preference more vivid and descriptive than any single instrument alone. Discover the amazing and insightful nuances that become visible through the interrelationship of three of the key coaching tools in use by coaches worldwide, and see how to unlock their full value as applied to the coaching dialogue. Dr. William Bergquist is an international coach and consultant, professor in the fields of psychology, management and public administration, and author of more than 40 books. He has focused on the processes of executive and performance coaching and on the reunification of psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and religion. He serves as president of The Professional School of Psychology, which is the parent organization to The Coaching Alliance—a multi-program initiative that provides training, coaching, consulting and research services throughout the world. |

Many of us live and work in an environment of constant change and stress. The desire to create and maintain healthy environments for the people we work with and value can seem impossible. The leaders we coach often absorb this stress personally and respond by working longer hours, coming close to burnout, and relating to their employees with varying levels of distancing, aggression, and even bullying. From this insightful and experiential format, you will:
