For the first time, Leadership Circle is offering a two-day workshop designed to help practitioners dive deep into narrative identity frameworks to explore, deepen, and practice the nuances of narrative capacity as it relates to human development and our work with clients. We would love to have you join us.
Hosted by Steve Athey, Lauren Tenney, and Rob Sinclair, we will dive deep into the techniques and designs behind narrative identity while discussing deeply about self and its tenuous stance in the complex landscape of the meta-crisis. We’ll be answering questions on how a leader is able to find their footing, let alone a stance, in such a polarizing and fraught environment.
This is complex territory. In order to help you gauge whether this workshop would be a meaningful experience for you, please take a moment to answer the following questions honestly. These are the questions we have been wrestling with, and we suspect you and your clients have been, too.
- How does the interplay between my state (my neurobiology), my story (my narrative capacity and identity), my surround (my relationships, cultural embeddedness, context), and my stage (my perspectival capacity) influence my stance (my overall orientation)? How does this stance constrain or enliven my enactments in the world?
- As narrative identities are in an ongoing evolutionary dance with context, in what ways:
- Is my story of self (my narrative identity) too small for the life I imagine?
- Is my story of self (my narrative identity) so dominant that it is crowding out other potentialities, other futures?
- Is my story of self (my narrative identity) too discrete that it mirrors the operating delusion of modernity—that we are somehow separate from all that is? What are my limitations from such a stance?
- How might these ideas relate to your clients and their current developmental challenges?
What you can expect from this experience:
- A pre-connect with one of us on Zoom for a short dialogue about how you relate to the questions we ask you to reflect upon and your hopes for the experience.
- A two-day intimate, connected, human-to-human experience with fellow practitioners centered on learning together across multiple domains (conceptual, somatic, emotional, intrapersonal, and interpersonal).
- A deepening of your understanding on how to use narrative frameworks in your own life and in your work with leaders.
- A building out of your Ecology of Practice. This includes framing concepts, embodied experiences, and practical exercises for evolving self as instrument and supporting leaders to do the same.
- An invitation to be part of an ongoing community of practice expanding and refining the frames and practices of narrative identity in leadership.
Our hope is that together we create an experience that is both deeply meaningful and effectively pragmatic. Trusting in the art of connection, we will explore how our stories make our worlds. We will exercise our perspectival and narrative capacities to generate a more conscious, durable authorship—one more fit for a dialectically challenged world. We intend to come together to shape each other in ways that allow us to return to our worlds feeling rejuvenated, inspired, connected, and better prepared for our shared work in the world. Please join us for a fascinating, uplifting, and transformative event that is sure to help you deepen your connection with your clients and yourself.
