Webinar 1: Spiral Impact Framework & Building Knowledge

Outcomes:

  • Distinguish between destructive conflict & innovative conflict
  • Identify the current behavior and desired outcome (vision path)

Webinar 3: Intention

 Overview: Referring back to the vision path in Webinar 1, consider the 3 levels of intention regarding your situation. Introduce the language component of expressing intention appropriately.

Outcomes:

  • Articulate and express all levels of intention and how that drives your behavior
  • Identify language that influences rather than attacks/repels others

Integration and reflection:

Participants to provide a detailed description of all 3 levels of intentions regarding their chosen situation; create a detailed description of the deeper level intention that stays the same through most situations in their life. Also, provide a list of how they could reformulate language given several common situations people experience in workplaces.

Webinar 4: Support and bringing it all together

Overview:

Support is the final quadrant of the model. This session will review each quadrant and provide application information on how to give feedback appropriately.

 Outcomes:
