Speaking Topic Details

Introduction

The old ways of understanding human systems are not working anymore – the way of superior versus inferior or management versus employee or adults versus children. They never did, not without lasting, serious, and negative side effects. And our world is suffering because of this. What’s needed is powerful, positive, and sustainable transformation –that which supports collaboration and win/win outcomes. In order to do this, understanding what causes individuals and groups to struggle and separate rather than connect and collaborate is key.

When such understanding occurs, and a path to course correct is provided, this organically results in caring connections. This presentation uncovers the many obvious and not-so-obvious dimensions of diversity, and the challenges to achieving the equity and inclusion needed today. The way is provided in which causes and effects are fully seen, understood and resolved. Through changed minds, hearts, and behaviors, separation is transformed into thoughtful, supportive community.

Areas Covered in this Presentation

• Inferiority Complex and 4 Core Needs
• Unresolved Psychological Contracts
• Social Interest and Psychological Safety
• Dissolving Barriers with Empathy and Open-Heartedness

Why Should You Attend?

The illusion what we should go back to ‘The good old days’ is just that; an illusion. Back then, win/lose (which is actually lose/lose) ran rampant and the need for mutual respect and caring was sorely lacking. The same is still true today and most obvious in the volume of polarization we see between generations, religions, political parties, genders, races, temperaments, and more. Too often there is hate, gossip, withdrawal, withholding and harshness of every kind. You should attend this program to support yourself and others in learning how to seek common ground, and make changes resulting in the celebration of differences. This has never been more important than today as each person must often relearn to think, speak, feel, and behave in ways that result in everyone experiencing themselves as empowered, lovable, connected and contributing.

You should attend this presentation if you want to be a catalyst for change by recognizing root causes for separation and struggles of every kind. In this way, you come to understand and promote the development of social interest; helping people grow aware of the consequences they cause others.  The stress and strain of today’s complexity and diversity of information and experiences, often leaves people feeling ineffective and unable to find solutions. This is partly because they are unable to build strong, caring relationships. They need to feel a robust sense of belonging and significance. This presentation addresses the conditions needed to unlock the best in all people, no matter how diverse. If you attend, you come to realize the root causes and what systemic changes are needed for differences to be appreciated, included, honored, and valued.
