Gaining Strength... personal work for organisational practitioners

This workshop is generously hosted by Lynne Burney of LKB Associates.

As organisational practitioners we don’t often have the opportunity to look systemically at how our own personal histories, process and patterns support – or limit – our success with clients. Yet when we deepen and integrate the systemic perspective, both we and our clients gain strength…

What is required that we gain strength and that our clients also benefit? Facing reality; acknowledging our limitations; accepting the ‘guilt’ that comes with growth, are just some of the unusual strength-giving ingredients that Constellations work suggests are vital. There are other elements too – called ‘The Orders of Helping’ in Constellations theory… Through these and other practices, we can feel something in us relax – and when the inner being comes to rest, we can manifest our true potential while serving our clients more fully.

In this 2.5 days workshop, Ty will explore how we gain strength in our life and work. As well as describing The Orders of Helping, he will work with real cases brought by you as participants. Here, the focus on ‘gaining strength’ will be brought to life experientially, through the medium of Constellations. A core element of this 2.5 day workshop will be for participants to do personal enquiry into those areas of their own lives and work, where they feel the need to gain strength. Exploring client issues where this theme of 'Gaining Strength' has resonance is also warmly welcomed.

Structure & Ethos

Please note that the workshop will be in English. Some French translation will also be offered for participants who might be less confident in the English language.

The workshop will focus on personal and professional issues brought by you, as participants. A commitment to confidentiality is therefore expected. Over the 2.5 days, Ty will work with as many participants as possible, and explore how the theme of 'Gaining Strength' can be brought alive through the personal and professional issues offered by the group. There will be a lively mix of practical constellations work interspersed with teaching inputs and Q&A/discussion by the group.

Who should attend?

The workshop is for internal and external coaches, consultants, facilitators and 'change agents' as well as for managers within organisations. People from public and third sector organisations - as well as other organisations such as schools and universities - are particularly welcome. No previous experience of Constellations is necessary (although at least some familiarity with the work would be an advantage).
