Riding the Arc of the Story - Overcoming Obstacles
Riding the Arc of the Story draws upon the power of storytelling to overcome obstacles that stand in the way of our goals. In this workshop, we take an inside peek at the structural approach writers and actors use in successful storytelling – and how you can make these tools work for you in business and life. Also we look at the resistance that often arises at the juncture between generating ideas and acting upon them. This program was an invited workshop at the recent 11th European Conference on Creativity and Innovation in Brussels. Join us for an expanded version, targeted for organizational settings.

Leadership Agility:
Five Levels of Mastery for Anticipating and Initiating Change
by Bill Joiner and Stephen Josephs
Joiner and Josephs introduce leadership from
a developmental perspective in an easily accessible and skillful manner.
They demonstrate how important it is to attain the level of leadership
needed to be agile leaders in the global, fast changing workplace.
(Surprisingly, they say only ten percent of leaders are currently
working at this level!). Most importantly, they lay out a very clear
path on how to grow one's own and others' leadership capacity and
agility. A very good read if you are turned on by leadership transformation.

Firms of Endearment:
How World-Class Companies Profit from Passion and Purpose
by Rajendra Sisodia, David Wolfe, Jagdish Sheth
The authors illustrate how companies grounded
in delivering emotional and social value, in addition to profits,
are transforming the very soul of capitalism. Using the SPICE model
of stakeholder concerns — Society, Partners, Investors, Customers
and Employees — they demonstrate how this new breed of organization
is the wave of the future. (Did we mention that they are among the
most successful companies these days and that their success is bound
to be sustainable?)

Good to Great: Why
Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't
by Jim Collins
How can good organizations be turned into ones
that produce great, sustained results? Jim Collins discloses the type
of leadership required to achieve greatness, a leadership beyond the
traditional ego-drive we often associate with strong leaders. Collins'
guidance and insights are presented in an unforgettable style, (he
coined the term "big, hairy, audacious goal"), as he draws
readers into a compelling conversation on how to become great leaders
in great organizations.

How the Way We Talk
Can Change the Way We Work: Seven Languages for Transformation
by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey
Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey skillfully introduce
a simple approach to human complexity, along with ways to become more
effective and fulfilled both on an individual and organizational level.
Key to their work is an exploration of why people struggle to follow
through on their desires for change, even when it most appears as
though this is their goal. Describing this "immunity to change," Kegan
and Lahey explain how this apparent contradiction is often a result
of competing commitments, and how we can break through this dynamic
to a more effective and satisfying way of being in the world.

A Theory of Everything:
An Integral Vision for Business, Politics, Science and Spirituality
by Ken Wilber
Few people have contributed more to the exploration
of the modern mind and spiritual evolution than Ken Wilbur. His work
is invaluable in business, social, personal and interpersonal settings.
A cornerstone of Wilbur's methodology is his groundbreaking Integral
Theory. This book is an excellent introduction to the theory, and
a perfect jumping-off point into the rest of Wilbur's work.

The Tipping Point:
How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
by Malcolm Gladwell
What triggers new trends? Malcolm Gladwell reveals
surprising evidence on how to make large-scale societal change happen
in business, sociological, and policy-making arenas. Drawing upon
his research and understanding of how epidemics spread, he branches
out beyond medical epidemiology, to consider the powerful potential
of positive and quick-acting "social epidemics." He describes the
book as an "intellectual adventure story," and makes a fascinating
case for understanding change in a whole new way.
