Creating Systemic Change in Organizations: Moving Businesses & Organizations toward NVC Consciousness

Sunday, September 28– Thursday, October 2, 2008 Menucha Retreat & Conference Center, near Portland, Oregon with Gregg Kendrick & Susan Skye

Over the years we've had a lot of people in our trainings express interest & excitement about bringing NVC into businesses & organizations, and now we have developed a training to support those who are venturing into this territory.

With his background in owning & managing small businesses, Gregg has focused the last seven years on facilitating NVC consciousness in organizations—first in his own 19-year-old business, and then as a consultant to a variety of businesses & nonprofits including a 3-1/2 year engagement at a company that does pharmaceutical studies. Susan brings her 15+ years of experience of NVC, along with specific engagements of bringing NVC into the British Columbia provincial government and General Motors.

The intention within our work is to foster the fullness of NVC consciousness—the living energy of needs—such that we not only impact the human relationships within the organization but we systemically transform the organizational processes, strategies and structures to be in harmony with this consciousness.

Our intention within this workshop is to:

  • Share our experience of NVC as a process for organizational development
  • Develop NVC skills & consciousness, beyond the intrapersonal & interpersonal, to encompass groups of people with a common mission & aim
  • Learn to introduce NVC to people within businesses & organizations through inspiring rather than selling
  • Expand the mission of any organization so that it becomes a "living organization"
  • Introduce Dynamic Self-Governance (Sociocracy) as a framework to hold NVC consciousness
  • Experience circles as the core organizational unit and explore the dynamics within those circles that fulfill the needs of the participants and the needs of the whole
  • Invite hands-on practice of essential NVC organizational skills in facilitation of meetings, expressing & hearing disagreement without blame, mediation and coaching
  • Explore how common processes—e.g. meetings, employee reviews, hiring, terminations of employment, email communications—are transformed to create an environment of authenticity, connection & mutual interdependence within the organization
  • Witness—and learn the skills of—a new leadership that emerges in living organizations
  • Learn the crucial role of systemic feedback for a living organization to thrive

Intended Participants

  • People who want to integrate NVC into their organizations (businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, community groups, etc.)
  • Consultants who want to facilitate the integration of NVC into client organizations
  • Certified & non-certified NVC trainers who want to facilitate the integration of NVC into client organizations
Prerequisite: Completion of NVC Training Institute's Seven-Day NVC Training or equivalent foundations in NVC skills & consciousness
