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.

Group Leadership
5-day workshop (Syd)
Friday 23 April 2010
Saturday 1 May
Sunday 2 May
Fri 7 May
Sat 8 May
Irvin Yalom’s Interpersonal Model of group psychotherapy focuses on the interpersonal realm between group members and the group leader. The use of the here and now process allows members to engage in meaningful relationships. Leading such a group with a focus on the immediacy between the membership and the leader requires the leader to be attentive to the needs of the individual members, the group as a whole and, self-reflection.
This 5-day course will provide participants with the opportunity to assess and develop their skills as a group leader and make application of those skills to their respective workplace environment. Yalom’s Interpersonal Model will be utilised as a basis for exploration and offers the perfect platform for adaptation to various group environments. During the course an existential perspective will underpin the construct of the group leader while existential themes will be explored within the group context.
The course is designed for practitioners who already are running groups and who wish to explore the existential themes in being a group leader, those who are about to embark on running a group and those who wish to understand the role of the group leader from an existential perspective.

How to be a Group Supervisor
1-day workshop (Syd)
Friday 29 October 2010
PD Points: 6
With the trend in organisations and training institutes to provide ongoing support for staff, group supervision is seen as an alternative to individual. Supervising a group as opposed to the individual requires the supervisor to have knowledge and awareness of the underpinning principles of working with a group while maintaining ethical and professional boundaries. This workshop will provide supervisors with skills in working within a small supervisory group experience. The Wheel of Supervision will provide the underpinning theoretical model for this workshop while group work skills will be explored. Participants are encouraged to develop their personal model of supervision and thereby maximise best practice for themselves and their supervisees.
This workshop is designed for practitioners who are now ready to work as a supervisor or who wish to understand supervision from an existential perspective.
