Day 2 Workshops
IP-informed leadership in the Pandemic and Beyond with Karen John Ph.D
Individual Psychology (IP) is unique in offering an ethical, optimistic, compassionate and systemic approach to leadership. IP and related texts, together with a growing body of mainstream psychology, epidemiology, organisation and management research, confirm our human need to belong, and, through contribution and cooperation within communities of social equals, find meaning and significance in our belonging. With an appreciation of our social embeddedness, social interest, and predilection for fairness, IP’s comprehensive theory and practice wisdom provide a powerful set of principles and strategies for leading democratically.
IP leadership inspires a shared vision, mission, values, and responsibility for continuous movement towards agreed-on improvements. This requires building and maintaining respectful relationships that encourage all concerned to value each other, and everyone’s contributions, equally.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has revealed that effective leaders are transparent in enlisting the cooperation and creativity of experts and citizens in finding ways to manage the crisis equitably. The Pandemic also has exposed inequalities and greed that breed insecurities, fears – and populism. IP-informed leadership can help heal rifts, engender trust and hope, and promote greater equality and responsibility for well-being around the globe and for our planet.
Managing Life Transitions in Turbulent times with Marion Balla
This course is designed to assist participants to identify and explore the losses and gains inherent in major life transitions, eg. aging, career change, retirement, graduation, marriage/partnership, illness, empty family nest, separation/divorce. The impact of these transitions can be amplified in the context of the global pandemic. Through the use of early recollections, anniversary dates and the exploration of life tasks, participants will gain increased insight and strategies to manage major life transitions.Participants will be able to:
explain that individuals live in constant transitions.
describe their current personal transitions within the five life task areas.
discuss the three stages of the transition process.
demonstrate examples of current personal transitions.
plan steps to manage each transition effectively
outline their first experience in childhood of managing a life transition.
Compile examples of past successful transitions and apply lessons to present transitions
The Language of the Unconscious: Emotions in Early Recollections with Paul R. Rasmussen, Ph.D.
Emotions serve three critical purposes in our movement through life. We evaluate quality of life via feeling states. Our first means of communication is through the affective expression of emotion and in the absence of emotion, humans are essentially inactive; emotions energize action. It is the individual’s style of feeling, expressing and acting that constitutes a lifestyle. Thinking, which is critical, is often after-the-fact and too often reflects rationalization rather than foresight and planning. To best understand one’s private logic, including lifestyle convictions, it is beneficial to look at the language of the emotions revealed in early recollections.
