Structural Dynamics Level 2 – Changing Behaviour in High Stakes
This is an intermediate-level course that offers practitioners, coaches, and facilitators the opportunity to examine what drives human behaviour in crisis through the lens of Structural Dynamics. It’s open to those who have successfully completed the entry-level 1 program, Making Change Happen.
It offers a unique opportunity to fully understand high stakes behaviour and how to manage it in individuals and teams. It also explores how well you intentionally manage your behaviour when the stakes are raised and pressure builds, uncovering the triggers and revealing ways to recognise it and be able to work with it in teams.
Our past story helps to contextualise the present and it’s through this 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.
- 4 x day (8 hour) facilitated sessions
- 3 x 1 hour individual coaching sessions with an accredited Structural Dynamics practitioner
- 2 x 1.5 hour group coaching sessions with an accredited Structural Dynamics practitioner
Dates:
Available as a customised program for in-house cohorts.
- Working with Kantor’s concepts of the heroic leader in crisis
- Learning how to intervene when toxic themes and judgements escalate
- Learning to use Kantor’s High Stakes Behavioural Profile Instrument to understand and work with leader behaviour in critical, high-stakes situations when shadow behaviours merge and damage the dynamic
- Designing and leading interventions that employ stories to work on purpose and identity
- Skills to teach all elements of Structural Dynamics for changing behaviour in high stakes
