Overview

Most conversations in organizations happen AT people rather than WITH the living system itself. This foundational training shifts your conversational approach from addressing individuals to engaging with system intelligence directly. Learn to recognize when you're in dialogue with a living, breathing organizational entity that has its own voice, patterns, and wisdom. Develop the essential stance of following system intelligence rather than imposing your conversational agenda, and master maintaining whole-system awareness during any interaction.‍

Designed For

Coaches, facilitators, managers, team leaders, consultants, and organizational professionals who want to transform their conversational effectiveness by working with system intelligence rather than against it.

What You'll Develop

  • System Recognition in Conversation: Distinguish between talking to individuals versus engaging with system intelligence, identifying when emergent system properties are showing up in dialogue
  • Whole-System Conversational Stance: Maintain system purpose and boundaries awareness during conversations while balancing attention between individual voices and collective system intelligence
  • Following System Lead in Dialogue: Sense system energy and natural direction during conversations, aligning your conversational approach with what the system is ready to explore

Professional Application

  • Enhanced Meeting Facilitation: Engage with meeting intelligence rather than just managing individual contributions
  • Improved Team Conversations: Recognize and work with team system patterns instead of addressing symptoms
  • Authentic Organizational Dialogue: Connect with organizational intelligence during change conversations and strategic discussions
