We have recently announced group discounts when more than 2 people from the same organization, team or group enroll in the same workshop. It is a progressive discount that varies from 25% to 75% depending on the total number of people enrolled: 
  • first 2 enrolled:  no discount
  • next 2 enrolled:  25% discount
  • next 4 enrolled:  50% discount

As an organization, you can get your entire team trained at significant discounts.
As an individual, you can invite other people that you know to enroll with you.

To take advantage of the discount, you'll see it as an option when you enroll in any of our workshops.

And keep in mind our Training Subscription Plan which provides unlimited access to our full public schedule of live interactive video workshops, and is priced between $100-$150 per person per month. This Plan is ideal where a group or an individual intend to enroll in a range of workshops.

​“Intention organizes,

attention energizes.” 



​— Deepak Chopra
A Conscious Leader's most potent skill is the ability to bring full attention and presence to people and to qualities that matter. At the team or organizational level, that means enlivening the intrinsic motivators such as Shared Purpose, Core Values and Direction. At the human level, it means the ability to fully "see" and "hear" the people with whom we work. In short, respect for their humanity.

This course builds on the skills from Needs-Based Communication (NVC) Core Concepts, and applies them in the day-to-day, moment-to-moment interactions that we have with the people on our team or in our organization. These are the moments that take a few seconds to a few minutes ... as we walk down the hall, in the few minutes before the meeting begins, or as we work side-by-side with someone on our team.

By consciously showing up in these brief but frequent moments throughout the day, the Conscious Leader activates and builds an environment of trust and belonging.

Workshop Outline

Session 1: Attention and Presence: The most precious of human resources ​
Session 2: "Hear Me": The foundation of being valued​
Session 3: "See Me": Redefining the need of recognition​

Workshop Format

This workshop is an interactive, activity-based experience where participants are invited to learn through self-reflection, interactions in pairs or small groups, and engagement with the whole group. Workshops combine innovative, interactive strategies with essential principles of leadership and communication to create a robust learning experience.

Delivery of this interactive workshop may either be as a live on-site event or a live video technology event —​ or a combination of both, depending on your needs.

Workshop Highlight: "Conscious Accountability"

a six-hour live interactive workshop designed for the workplace
part of the Conscious Leader Development programs at Basileia LLC


Upcoming Sessions!
Interactive workshop series via live video technology ​ — six 75-min sessions
Winter 2019 Series - Jan 10 - Feb 14​
Spring 2019 Series - Apr 11 - May 16

"Blame is the absence of accountability." 

​
— Brené Brown, professor at the University of Houston


When we imagine relationships in a "power-with" environment, many tend to focus on the "with" — the gentle, connecting qualities such as being valued, empathy and care.

These are essential skills of the Conscious Leader that we introduce in the "Connect First: Bringing conscious presence into the workplace" sessions.

Equally essential are the skills that enliven the "power": the fierce connectedness that leads us toward fulfillment of our shared purpose. 

Connection matters. And so does Purpose.

Conscious Accountability within an environment of intrinsic motivation looks very different than the accountability that we associate with blame and punishment. There are new levels of self-awareness to embrace and new skills to learn.

That's what this series is about.

We will apply the self-awareness and self-responsibility that we learned in the "Needs-Based Communication (NVC) CORE CONCEPTS" foundations to real workplace needs for feedback and accountability.

The Conscious Leader is both gentle and fierce. This course helps us develop the fierce side.

Workshop Outline

Session 1:  Conscious Feedback, Part 1: Moving beyond praise & criticism
Session 2:  Conscious Feedback, Part 2: Receiving feedback
Session 3:  Mutual Accountability:  ​"Calling in" to alignment rather than "calling out"
Session 4:  Conscious Agreements: Staying in integrity around our agreements
Session 5:  100% Responsibility, Not More, Not Less: Taking full responsibility for my behaviors, but not for others
Session 6:  Conscious Terminations: Honoring the humanness of everyone when employment relationships are ended

​ Workshop Format

This workshop is an interactive, activity-based experience where participants are invited to learn through self-reflection, interactions in pairs or small groups, and engagement with the whole group. Workshops combine innovative, interactive strategies with essential principles of leadership and communication to create a robust learning experience.

Delivery of this interactive workshop may either be as a live on-site event or a live video technology event —​ or a combination of both, depending on your needs.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space.

In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and freedom.”
​

—Viktor E. Frankl

This workshop helps you navigate that "space ... between stimulus and response." For most of us, it is a space where we can easily be triggered into the reactive "fight, flight, freeze" area of our brain. When we think and act from that fear-based place, our effectiveness and impact are diminished, especially as leaders within an organization.

In our values-based leadership assessments, this behavior shows up in the leader’s "personal entropy" score, where personal entropy is defined as the amount of fear-driven energy that a person expresses in his or her day-to-day interactions with other people.

Needs-Based Communication (NVC) is a potent process that stimulates new insights and gives us new tools to bridge the space between unconscious reaction and conscious response. It invites us to "stop playing the blame game," by enhancing our self-awareness and self-responsibility. At the same time, it enhances our ability to communicate and collaborate with others in challenging conversations, when emotions are rising, even when we seem to be heading into conflict.
Though this is a foundational workshop in our Conscious Leadership Development programs, it is essentially a course on "Leading Yourself" ... and so it's really a course for anyone ready to enhance self-responsibility for their own life. And while there is a workplace focus on these sessions, participants are also invited to use personal or family situations in terms of applying the process if they choose. The skills and the mindsets are the same no matter where they are applied.

This series focuses on core concepts of NVC, and is a pre-requisite for more advanced training for Conscious Leadership, e.g. Conscious Conversations, Conscious Accountability, Building Conscious Teams, etc.

Workshop Outline

Session 1: Own Your Own Reactions: Observations
Session 2: Own Your Own Feelings: Self-Connection
Session 3: Own Your Own Needs: Authentic Expression
Session 4: Invite Others to Own Their Own Reactions, Feelings & Needs: Empathic Listening
Session 5: Own Your Own Choices: Self-Empowerment & Autonomy
​Session 6: Self-Responsibility​: Being Accountable for Myself

Workshop Format

This workshop is an interactive, activity-based experience where participants are invited to learn through self-reflection, interactions in pairs or small groups, and engagement with the whole group. Workshops combine innovative, interactive strategies with essential principles of leadership and communication to create a robust learning experience.

Delivery of this interactive workshop may either be as a live on-site event or a live video technology event —​ or a combination of both, depending on your needs.

9/4/2018

0 Comments

 
I am excited to announce the redesign of the live interactive workshops within the Conscious Leader Development programs at Basileia LLC, including a new workshop format using live interactive video technology.

Highlights of the new design include:
​
  • New workshops, New content. A fresh integration of the last two decades of our learnings and experiences in needs-based leadership & organizational development work

  • Workshops focus on tangible and specific workplace needs such as accountability, supervision, or building a cohesive team. Workshops include:
    • Introduction to Conscious Leadership - 6-hour workshop
    • Introduction to Needs-Based Communication (NVC) - 90-min workshop
    • Needs-Based Communication (NVC) Core Concepts - 6-hour workshop
    • Connect First - 3-hour workshop
    • Conscious Accountability - 6-hour workshop
    • Conscious Conversations - 6-hour workshop
    • Building Conscious Teams - 6-hour workshop

  • Choice of two formats for live interactive workshops:
    • on-site workshops (our traditional workshop format), or
    • new video workshops using zoom's robust video conferencing technology including learning structures such as break-out rooms, screen sharing and polling

  • People world-wide can participate in open-enrollment video workshops.

  • Video workshops were created due to specific client requests:
    • short segments of training (75-90 minutes) that can fit into a professional's busy weekly schedule
    • a cost effective way to train one or two people at a time, or a group of 12 — without the added costs of travel
    • workshop recordings provide an easy way to catch up if the participant misses a session, or to review the training, in part or in whole, to support the learning process

  • Continuing the best practices that have always defined our workshops:
    • engaging, interactive, activity-based training with a live trainer facilitating it
    • an opportunity for the participant to apply the training to their real workplace situations within the training process

I am thrilled that our new live interactive video workshops enable more people around the world to learn the skills of conscious leadership.  I invite you to have a look at the details about each workshop, including the ability to register online for open-enrollment video workshops, using the links above.

FYI: We've also updated the info throughout our website, especially in the "services" section. Here are a few highlights:
  • Conscious Leadership
  • Facilitated "Whole-Team" Conversations
  • Supporting Leaders to Develop Conscious Organizations
  • Individual Coaching for Conscious Leader Development

I hope to see you at one of these workshops soon!

Warmly,
Gregg
