Leadership & Coaching
Existentialist theory emphasises freedom, choice and responsibility in relation to our actions and decisions – aspects that are pertinent to both our personal journeys and to the role of leadership. Leadership theory often takes an objectivist approach, whereas the existential perspective concentrates on the subjective and inter-relational dimensions of the individual and of organisations as a whole.

Supervision is a profession in its own right. To work as a supervisor requires learning specific skills that are additional to those used when working as a counsellor, coach or psychotherapist.
This course has evolved from in-depth research conducted by Dr Alison Strasser that has now become known as the Wheel of Supervision. Within this Wheel are found the universal themes that are present in all modes of supervision and which form the basis of this program.
This Supervision Training Course is designed for practitioners who are now ready to work as a supervisor or who wish to understand supervision from an existential perspective. Participants are encouraged to develop their personal model of supervision and thereby maximise best practice for themselves and their supervisees.
A further five 2-hour group supervision practice sessions will be offered following the program.

Building Conscious Leadership
2-day workshop
Saturday 25 July
Saturday 8 August
Each person is a conscious and powerful being with the capacity for taking action in ways that are far greater than one may imagine. Building Conscious Leadership is a unique approach to leadership that engages the will as a tool that is both responsive and active. This 2-day program will involve participants in a process of coming into a more conscious relationship with their role, job or position. The innovative journey works at the cutting edge of current leadership studies exploring consciousness, experience and knowledge, also defined as confluential leadership. The workshop is highly participative and provides practice opportunities.
Leadership is found in the interconnection of the personal and the professional. This program is for all practitioners who would like to develop their leadership and thereby shape their future.
