“This workshop is a great balance of new material, learning together as a community, and application to participants' current work. It is especially helpful for leaders and facilitators who work across silos, either within and between organizations, or across sectors of the community.”

Overview

Working with your own organizational change challenge, you will emerge from this highly interactive workshop with a process design and a range of proven intervention methods that will lead to success for your client or organization. Grove Founder David Sibbet and Gisela Wendling, Ph.D. will deliver an in-depth look at an approach to change work that integrates transformational processes with dialogic and visual best practices. 

Using The Seven Challenges of Change and the Wendling Liminal Pathways Change Framework™ process models, you’ll explore organizational change not only in terms of stages of process, but also the interplay between inner dynamics and external structures.

David brings 40 years of practitioner experience with complex processes in public, community and organizational settings. Gisela builds on her 25 years of practice and research with organization development, transformational learning, change, and dialogue. Working closely with them, you will experience first-hand the benefit of dialogic process as you engage with the other participants in a visually facilitated learning environment.
