We create workshops which give participants tools and knowledge to transcend either/or thinking and to create from polarities – both for themselves as individuals and for coaching or consulting clients.
Our workshops invite you to dance and play - using an inspiring mix of experiential exercises combined with relevant bits of theory. The workshops will include a range of learning for participans including:
- what polarities are and how they show up in your life.
- how you can transcend the ‘either/or’ thinking.
- how polarity work can be used in coaching with individuals and in consulting with organisations - including practical tools/exercises that you can use.
- how polarity work links to contemporary theories (e.g. U-Curve, Spiral Dynamics), and philosophical and spiritual traditions (e.g. Buddhism, Quakerism).
The workshop will be coming to London, the Netherlands and Nova Scotia (Canada) in 2010. We shall be posting further details soon. In the meantime, if you would be interested in learning more or finding out how we can work with your organisation/group please contact us at polarity@ticktockcoaching.co.uk
