Synchroncity, Coaching and Change

What is the place of synchronicity in how we facilitate change and transition? This session will explore how we help ourselves, and therefore help data from the field of existence emerge. We’ll present Theory U, a tool, method and way of seeing and facilitating change, which invites data to emerge through shared meaning making helping co-create and sustain the change process.

This session primarily is geared for organization development consultants and group coaches. Anyone who has interest in the topic, however, is welcome to register and attend.

What is Theory U?  

Its originator, Otto Scharmer, says it is three things. 

It is a:

1)  Framework describing a change process.

2) Method for effecting change personally and organizationally, in communities and globally.

3) Description of phenomena in the world – what is naturally happening.

What is group coaching? | Reveln & Jennifer Britton

I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Britton and buying her new book on group coaching two months ago. It is a goldmine of insights into the emergence of action-plan oriented learning that fully engages those, in a group setting, in a way that is intentionally set up to be:

  • collaborative,
  • goal oriented,
  • results based,
  • systemic, and
  • sustainability-minded.
Here's a group coaching definition mentioned in Jennifer's book, that group coaching is:

  • A facilitated group process that is led by a professional coach and formed with the intention of maximizing the combined energy, experience and wisdom of individuals who chose to join in order to achieve organizational objectives and/or individual goals. -- Ginger Cockerham, the "Power of Groups"

I'll be testing out and using her wisdom for a new group coaching teleclass on social media described in a recent post.  Take a look at her comprehesive book overview listed below.   She's got a lot to offer as she describes how group coaching helps participants focus on what really matters in making any type of change,  coaching themselves through implementation and sustainable action.

  • Ground level detail.
  • Safety, risk - tolerance discussion, fun
  • A website that will be made private for ease of use.
  • Developing your ability to "do it," not just learn about it.
  • A coach-consultant-small business owner facilitated group
  • Social media taught FOR coaches, consultants & small business owners.
  • Low tech focus.  Plain English.   Low jargon.
