Our Training Courses

When your challenge is systemic and requires contributions from multiple organizations, sectors, and perspectives, traditional approaches often fall short. This immersive workshop introduces Collaborative Innovation—a process model and set of tools that enable leaders to unite diverse stakeholders and drive meaningful systems change. Through hands-on exercises, you'll experience the "Four Agendas" framework (Connecting, Aligning, Learning, and Making) and discover how to create the conditions for true co-creation.

You have shared concerns. Now what? This applied course walks your team through the complete collaborative strategy design process, from stakeholder consultation through landscape analysis to prototyping solutions. Working on your actual initiative, you'll learn to center equity throughout—examining how dominant cultural values can undermine collaborative efforts and building concrete practices to create more inclusive processes.

Whether you're convening multi-stakeholder collaborations, leading your own team, or participating in someone else's meeting, the ability to guide groups through complexity is essential leadership capacity. This highly experiential workshop builds your skills in planning, leading, and even recovering meetings where diverse groups navigate confusion, conflict, and uncertainty together. You'll learn the complete meeting cycle and practice facilitation moves that transform stuck conversations into forward momentum—capabilities that strengthen your effectiveness in any role where humans are working together.

In today’s world, fostering genuine collaboration is more than just bringing people together; it’s about building authentic alignment and trust among diverse people. Creating innovative solutions requires more than just getting everyone to agree on the surface. Real ownership and meaningful alignment from all parties are crucial, especially when emotions are high and the stakes are even higher. 

You'll gain hands-on experience and learn proven methods for recognizing, mapping, and harnessing the diverse values and perspectives within your team. This course turns conflict and polarization into genuine alignment and productive collaboration.

In a world of increasing complexity, our usual cognitive approaches to understanding and shifting systems often fall short. While diagrams, frameworks, and methodical analysis can provide helpful insight, they can create an illusion of certainty where none exists. Many change initiatives stall not because of a lack of understanding, but because of our tendency to over-rely on cognitive approaches while undervaluing other ways of knowing. 

This workshop explores how we can integrate cognitive and non-rational ways of knowing—somatic, intuitive, and feeling—to engage more effectively with complex systems. Through experiential learning, stories, and guided practice, you will develop your capacity to navigate complexity using multiple ways of knowing, leading to more nuanced, effective, and human change work.

Effective leadership goes beyond traditional management skills. It requires a deep understanding of both emotional and cultural intelligence to navigate complex challenges and cultivate meaningful change. This is an interactive workshop designed to expand your awareness-based leadership skills. 

Through this course, you will learn to measure, grow, and leverage emotional and cultural intelligence to enhance both individual and organizationa agility. This workshop equips you with the capabilities and tools needed to foster equity, inclusion, and collaborative solutions.
