About the program
Are you truly in command of your behaviour when the stakes are raised, and the pressure starts to build? Do you know what triggers this behaviour and what to do about it? Would you recognise it in others and be able to work with it in teams?
Changing Behaviour in High Stakes offers practitioners, coaches and facilitators the opportunity to look through the lens of Structural Dynamics, at what drives human behaviour in crisis.
By decoding the structures that sit behind our reactions and reaching into the past to explore story and identity, it becomes possible to understand and change the disruptive patterns of behaviour that can erupt without warning.
Our past story helps us to contextualise the present and it is through this tried and tested frame that we view the world. In crisis, it explains an individual’s best and worst behaviour; how they interpret others and the clashes they are likely to encounter.
Using David Kantor’s theory of Structural Dynamics, we explore the powerful, but invisible forces which drive our face to face interaction when the stakes are high.
This program offers a unique opportunity to fully understand high stakes behaviour and how to manage it in individuals and teams – because experience shows us time and time again that it is only those who are prepared to examine the impact of the past, that can be truly capable of meeting the demands of the future.
By participating in this program you will
- Work with Kantor’s concepts of the heroic leader in crisis and know how to intervene when toxic themes begin to escalate, moral judgement abounds and clashes seem impossible to deal with.
- Design and lead interventions that employ story to work on purpose and identity.
- Teach all elements of Structural Dynamics for changing behaviour in high stakes.
