Richard Olivier

Courageous Leadership - Ambition, Archetypes and Values at Work– 24 May 2011

We live in a world caught between stories. The old story has outlived its usefulness, as we can witness from the growing levels of unease around us, but the narrative of the new story is not yet clear enough for us to embrace it with confidence. How do we manage ourselves and others in these fragile and uncertain times? The gift of a great challenge is that it requires us to stretch our imagination in a new way. During this provocative and experiential day we will combine ancient wisdom, modern psychological insight and theatrical technique to have a good look at where we are going – and why.

Richard is the founding voice of Mythodrama, which combines great leadership stories from Shakespeare with models from organisational best practice. He is an Associate Fellow, Templeton College, Oxford and was guest speaker at the 2003 and 2009 World Economic Forums in Davos.

David Whyte

The Art of Creating A Beautiful Mind

Salon Series – starts 7/8 November 2011

The world exists independent of human thought, but it is seen through the lens of the mind. To understand the world beneath the surface maps we construct, we must clarify and engage our perceptions, refusing the temptation to turn away and create false abstracts that appear to offer us an easier existence. How much stress or unhappiness we undergo can depend on the qualities of perception that we cultivate. In this workshop and salon series David will explore the art of creating a “beautiful mind”.

David’s work has struck a resonant chord within organisations and the personal and professional development arenas around the world, speaking at conferences, workshops and business schools. “Everyone I met was raving about him. The delegates were like a ‘who’s who’ of British Industry and Whyte stole the show”, The Times. He is the author of 3 books of prose including Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity plus 5 books of poetry including River Flow - New & Selected Poems 1984–2007.

Somatic Intelligence

Centred & Resilient Leadership

This one day introductory workshop is specifically designed for leaders and managers working in organisations. Any system functions at its best when it is aligned, for us individually this means aligning aspects of our body and mind. This releases energy engaged in unconscious habitual patterns and internal conflicts, supports our health, enables us to become more effective and therefore to become a clear and open leader worth following. Competition and survival let alone success in this changing world demand that we develop and use a greater range of our capacities. Even more significantly it is essential that we are able to use these effectively under pressure and not act reactively out of fear or anxiety, which typically limits us. For our organisations to be effective, efficient, adaptable, creative, resilient, coordinated, well lead and well managed it makes a difference if we can first do that for ourselves. This workshop will explore and offer means to do this.

An Introduction to Somatic Intelligence

Through various activities and practices we will work with the body and mind in the process of learning about our habitual patterns of behaving and thinking and exploring ways to respond to the incoming pressures of life from a place of “centre” rather than from our judgements and fears. We will work with such themes as centering under pressure, finding balance, effective leadership and followership, focusing energy, aligning body and mind to your outcomes and attuning to oneself and others. The workshop will draw upon martial arts, mindfulness practice, Conscious Embodiment, energy work, Feldenkrais and NLP.

Personal Development Evening Culminating in a Firewalk Marie Faire and Others

This is an evening to remember. Each activity is carefully chosen and facilitated to explore the fears and blocks in our life that stop us becoming and being all we can be.

"If somebody wants to challenge and to learn more about themselves – in a variety of different ways – to push their own boundaries in an environment which feels safe, friendly, caring, supportive and non-pressured, then this is a fabulous way to do it…..quickly and enjoyably. There is always the choice to trust your own instincts and choose not to do something and to know that’s OK too."

Leadership & Coaching Lessons from Horse Whispering

A powerful and profound 2-day experiential leadership development event exploring the fundamental principles of leadership through learning and applying the art of horse whispering.

For many of us there is sometimes a gap between theory and practice, between what we know and what we do. In this course you will discover where some of those gaps are and how to become a more effective leader and communicator. Working with horses participants come face to face with their personal challenges of leadership and communication. It is profound learning and development. Personal coaching, both in the ring and outside; watching others and group discussion clarifies the principles and lessons for effective leadership in theory and in personal practice.

"The course provided instant feedback and the opportunity to transfer learning to organisational behaviours. I was curious and found the course to be both challenging and thrilling with constant feedback and discussion. The horse waits for your guidance, scary and thrilling and the best adventure I have experienced in my person development. I believe the size of the group contributed to my learning and provided the right balance of see one, do one etc. The accommodation was nice and the arrangements at the farm well organised and the timely application of learning to the organisational contexts was great".
SB, Director of Service Delivery

"For me, no other development programme has come close in terms of the impact and clarity of learning about how I can engage, motivate and inspire others. This is real, accelerated development, simple, clear and starkly self-evident".
LM Management Consultant.

"A development experience like no other - in working with the horses you experience profound and pure feedback, not clouded by agendas, egos, politics and so on. The learning from this will stay with me forever - the lessons for life and learning are amazing".
SJ, CE

Coach Training Programme

Anyone who has done NLP Masters will have acquired many of the skills that they need to be a good coach, however, NLP training is not recognised as coach specific training by any of the coaching professional bodies. Until now people had to go back to square one and attend a basic coaching programme that would not take account of all of your prior learning.

Our coach programme has been designed to provide qualifying NLP Master Practitioners with the “Coach Specific Training” needed to apply for accreditation with either the International Coaching Federation (ICF) or the Association for Coaching (AC).

This coach programme will assume all of your prior knowledge and experience and give you the “missing pieces” of Coach Specific Training to apply for accreditation as a coach. It will cover the core competencies, hours and assessment required by both ICF and AC.

Next Event

Dates: 24/25 November 2011, 16/17 February 2012 & 10/11 May 2012 plus inter-module tutorials and other work

The Beyond NLP Trainer Training - On Becoming an Empty Flute

Marie Faire and Guests - Starts 13 September 2011

Being a great trainer or presenter is much more than developing good skills; it is about finding one’s identity and authentic expression. It is about taking your ego out of the way and becoming “an empty flute”. This training is designed for NLP Master Practitioners who already have some training or facilitation experience and who want to make a step change in their ability to work with and lead groups and become an excellent NLP trainer.

It is a 20 day modular training running over 6 months. Participants will have plenty of opportunity to present and receive feedback during the modules and will be set tasks and assignments throughout the programme and will have the opportunity to model guest trainers. The training is carefully designed to enable you to become fluent in essential training skills and group dynamics and to find your authentic expression as a trainer

"As an experienced trainer, I signed up for this programme hoping to further embed NLP into my ways of thinking and being. I have certainly done that, and I got a lot more besides. I genuinely feel that I am a better trainer for attending this programme, whatever I am delivering, I learned how to dance with my learners, and mostly avoid treading on their toes! I liked the structure of the modules, particularly the guest trainers, and of course I loved the venue - it made a real difference for me to be in such an inspiring and comfortable environment”.

Spiral Dynamics is one of the most exciting and provocative models we have come across. It offers profound systemic insight into individuals, organisations and cultures - why they do what they do - what is the nature and direction of the next step to be taken - what is the best way to influence and lead this person or these people at a particular time.

The Beyond Partnership is UK partner of Chris Cowan (co-developer of Spiral Dynamics) and Natasha Todorovic of NVC Consulting. We offer seminars and courses in Spiral Dynamics and the original work of Clare Graves on which Spiral Dynamics is based, including full certificated training with Chris and Natasha.

Facets of Personality and MBTI

Discover the application potential of Myers-Briggs typology. Incorporating the basic MBTI Step I model, Facets of Personality explores the broader model and applications of MBTI Step II.

This complete package includes:

• The on-line MBTI Step II questionnaire (incorporating Step I).
• A 22 page personal profile report.
• A 1 hour coaching session to review and discuss your profile.
• A day with others looking at the Myers-Briggs model, including the extra dimensions and subtlety presented by Step II. We will explore the implications of the additional perspectives presented and consider the further applications that arise from this more detailed analysis.

Next Event

Date: TBA

For workshop outline click here or contact us info@thebeyondpartnership.co.uk

MBTI Overview

MBTI theory describes 16 personality types which are derived from 4 dimensions of personality, Extrovert-Introvert, Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling, Judging-Perceiving and suggests that we each have preferences for a particular aspect of each dimension. MBTI Step I classifies an individual according to these 16 types.

Many people who complete Step I find they agree with maybe 3 out of 4 of the dimensions identified but do so with a 'yes, but' feeling. In some way the profile doesn't quite 'fit'.

What Step II does is divide each personality trait into a further five facets and then indicates where someone has "out of preference" traits, where for example an individual who is generally an extrovert exhibits one or two facets where they are more like an introvert.

People completing Step II find the additional distinctions make their personal profile 'fit' better and when considering the profiles of others Step II provides greater understanding and much more useful information for relating to and managing others.

Neil Mullarkey – Improv-Ability – 25 March 2011

Join us for a day of fun, humour and serious learning with the gifted Neil Mullarkey. Neil co-founded the Comedy Store Players, Europe’s top Improve troupe in 1985 and has been bringing his work and the power of improvisation to the business world for a decade. Improvisation is one of the most important skills in uncertain times. It can enhance team-work, creativity and innovation. Improv is a “Yes, And …” ethos which is all about co-creation. It is a discipline which celebrates the idea that more options are open to us through collaboration than through “trying harder” on our own. Making your fellow player look good creates a dynamic, positive energy. “Neil took a class of 108 Cambridge MBA’s - hard-nosed, rational and highly sceptical about their individual ability to create - and transformed them.” Richard Hytner, Deputy Chairman, Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide

Date: 25 March 2011
Venue: Central London
