Paradox: The Gestalt Approach to Change Management

Concurrent Session, Building Key Skills #T04
Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 10:30 A.M. – 12:00 P.M.
The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland offers a sound foundation for people who work in change management. We will cover two core Gestalt models–the cycle of experience and the paradoxical theory of change–that will increase your ability to plan, monitor, and implement change in organizations by helping you anticipate potential resistance and develop strategies to create support rather than opposition. Although the Gestalt approach is paradoxical, it enables clients to address unfinished business that blocks their ability to move forward. We'll show how to help your clients fully see and embrace the current situation–to truly understand the forces at play that support or inhibit movement. Through attention to the here and now, the organization can become more fully what it intends to be.

ODN DiscountGestalt Coaching & Resistance

Sponsor Spotlight Session
Monday, October 20, 12:15 – 1:15 pm
People enter coaching because they want something. Gestalt theory suggests that wants are accompanied by resistance. Coaches must know how to work with that dance between aspirations and fears. We will show you how our approach harnesses those forces in ways that energize and focus the client's work. And how this approach can help clients recognize more options for facing their challenges. This engaging and energy-infused session is ideal for professionals, change leaders, educators and consultants.

Join us in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas for a dynamic OD conference. We look forward to seeing you at our exhibit or at our presentations and having a chance to meet again or for the first time!
