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 behavior in crisis through the lens of Structural Dynamics. It is open to those who have successfully completed the entry-level 1 program Making Change Happen.

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.
Explores how well you are truly in command of your behavior when the stakes are raised and the pressure starts to build.
Uncovers what triggers this behaviour, what to do about it, how to recognise it, and be able to work with it in teams.
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.

4x day (8 hour) facilitated sessions
3x 1 hour individual coaching sessions with an accredited Structural Dynamics practitioner
2x 1.5 hour group coaching sessions with an accredited Structural Dynamics practitioner

Dates:

Available as a customised program for in-house cohorts.

By participating in this program you will:

Work with Kantor’s concepts of the heroic leader in crisis
Learn how to intervene when toxic themes escalate, moral judgment abounds, and clashes seem impossible to deal with.
To use Kantor’s High Stakes Behavioural Profile Instrument to understand and work with leader behaviour in critical, high-stakes situations when shadow behaviours show themselves and begin to wreak havoc
Design and lead interventions that employ stories to work on purpose and identity.
Be able to teach all elements of Structural Dynamics for changing behaviour in high stakes.
