Understanding Each Other
Advanced Leadership for HR Professionals, Experienced Trainers, Facilitators and Group Leaders
Leadership and Advanced Training Programs
Most of us work with people in one way or another. This does not need to be a struggle. Unfortunately people often get misunderstood causing conflicts with co workers and within relationships.
This program covers the intricacies of group dynamics, group work, action methods and a range of creative therapeutic tools and the personal challenge that makes using them difficult, through the use of well grounded and theoretically rigorous experiential methods rather than just good advice, insight or theories. Sometimes in a corporate environment we need less talk and more action.
This the key to whether you are leading people, directing, collaborating, motivating, coordinating, or working with people towards a therapeutic end. You will acquire the skills to understand people in all their uniqueness, and help them to improve their communication with each other.
Overview
Energy follows action. … . Our need to talk, interact and simply be with each other is part of our development. Group psychotherapy is the most viable method for initiating, improving and evaluating connections. Adding action techniques is a dramatic way to alter the process of a group. It focuses the consciousness of the members on their interactions, which in turn channels and enhances the energy within a group and therefore it dissolves passivity. Adding action methods to your repertoire of clinical skills can be a natural step.
When action methods are introduced into a group, other than just verbalization, participants become more present, more aware, and as a consequence, more conscious. Consciousness is no small matter as it enhances our interactions by making them intentional. Acting on thoughts and feelings gives greater visibility to our inner worlds and greater energy to our words and clarifies our thoughts and feelings. This clarity comes as a result of internal and external feedback and can be used to adjust our way of being.

Team Building through Sociometry
Most teams are formed without any thought of how well they will work together. Someone retires and leaves a spot in a particular department. The next in line is often promoted from within and steps in to take over the job. But do we ever question if he’s the right fit for that group? Do we ask questions such as
Does he have a similar work style and ethic as those in his department?
Does he have a similar way of communicating?
Does this department know him and trust him?
Is he good manager material?
Sociometry, a science developed by Dr. JL Moreno allows us to look at the underlying connections in a group, as well as the covert, often unspoken words that can inhibit productivity within a workplace. Through sociometry, these conflicts can be weeded out, unspoken connections can be identified and nurtured, work teams can be realigned and the organization can function at a higher level, allowing for more productivity and increased morale. The more satisfied people are at work, the more work they do. They more the staff gets done, the more successful the business.
