Webinar 1: Spiral Impact Framework & Building Knowledge
Overview: The Spiral Impact framework consists of 4 quadrants that when ‘activated’ create power, influence and clarity. This webinar will introduce the overall framework and the quadrant ‘Knowledge’.
Outcomes:
- Distinguish between destructive conflict & innovative conflict
- Identify the current behavior and desired outcome (vision path)
- Discern the current statements or beliefs about the situation that prolong the destructive conflict
Integration and reflection:
Participants will identify a situation to apply these concepts. They will work with it and report to Karen about their successes or continued challenges prior to the next webinar.
Webinar 2: Focused Energy and DiSC

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:

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.
