Introduction

Why is it that even after reading about Emotional Intelligence and agreeing with it, one does not become emotionally intelligent? Why do team coordination, coherence, and performance not improve consistently after attending workshop sessions on such topics? Why do almost 90% of training workshops conducted for individuals or groups and rated very highly immediately after completion fail to bring about any significant change in the participants? Are the participants so utterly devoid of commitment? Motivation? Will power? Does the problem lie with team cultures? Do organizational environments discourage such transformations? Or is the resistance to making a change a natural phenomenon?

Join our workshop to find answers to these questions and to successfully make positive changes in your and your team’s performance. (For more information, click here).

Goal

The workshop is designed to achieve two goals: First, to help participants directly observe their psychological immune systems at work, and second, to help them overcome their respective immune systems.

Audience

The workshop is offered for individuals and existing teams (with a minimum of eight members). In the case of teams, the participation of the team leader will be mandatory.

Preparation

Before the start of the workshop, all participants are requested to work on and generate a few improvement goals for themselves that they want to work on during the workshop. Guidelines for determining our improvement goals will be provided to the registrants before the start of the session.

Organization

Part 1: Mapping our “Immunity to Change”

In the first part, each participant will be taken through the process of uncovering, recognizing, and observing their psychological immune system at work and how it frustrates their efforts in making meaningful and desirable changes in their lives.

Part 2: Overcoming our “Immunity to Change” (at the choice of the participants)

In the second part, each participant will understand and undertake the process of overcoming their immunity to change and successfully materializing their desired improvement goal.

Methodology

“Overturning our Immunity to Change” sessions are planned as a cooperative, conversation-based, and experiential exercise in understanding and reflecting on the experience and then overturning our psychological immune system.

Duration

For Individuals & Groups

The first part of the workshop is likely to be completed in 5 to 7 hours of conceptual and group work. After completing the first part, participants may take a break or immediately continue working on the second part. (Total time: approximately 7 hours)

The conceptual work in the second part will be completed in a maximum of 2 hours, after which the participants will continue meeting and sharing the progress in their respective experimentation work every week for 60 to 90 minutes. Depending on the participants’ progress, the second part will likely be completed in the group’s 6 to 9 weekly meetings (including the 2-hour session on conceptual work). (Total time: approximately 14 hours)

For Teams

All team members will be required to complete the sessions for individuals and groups (as given above). Besides that, an additional 6 to 8 hours will be required for teams. (Total time: approximately 30 hours)

Prerequisites

Completion of part 1 is a prerequisite for registration in part 2. However, after the completion of part 1, the participants can register for part 2 at their convenience.

Investment

For one-to-one sessions: US $50 per hour.
For group participation (with at least 12 members): US $20 per hour per member.
For existing teams:

For at least ten members US $20 per hour per member
Teams of less than ten members US $200 per hour.

“If developing an altruistic bent is so important, then how do you think we can develop and promote this attitude in others, especially our young ones?” I asked.

He sat there silently looking at me for a while. Then his gaze shifted to his coffee mug. He picked it up, held it in both his hands – as if to warm his palms with its heat. Then he slowly took a sip and placed the mug back on the table at his side. It was as if he was moving in slow motion. Then he looked at me and said, “It is comparatively easy to sometimes control or modify another person’s behavior, to some extent. But altruism is not merely a set of behaviors. It is an attitude and a bent of character, and there is no short-cut or a sure-shot method to transform attitudes and character.”

“Are you implying that there’s no clear way to teach our children to be altruistic?” I asked, clearly disappointed.

“You are a parent as well as a teacher. I’ll share with you an interesting observation that I generally have about parents and teachers: What I have observed is that when a parent or a teacher comes across a piece of information that is valuable, they immediately start talking about how they can teach it to their children and students.” He said.

“What do you find to be wrong with that?” I asked, a little irritated this time.

“There’s nothing wrong with that, as such. Firstly, it is based on the false assumption that teaching will always result in learning. We tend to ignore the fact that ‘learning’ does not necessarily result from teaching – even good teaching – alone. More than good teaching, ‘learning’ requires the interest, curiosity, attention, comfort, and developmental appropriateness on the part of the learner.

“Secondly, I think that if we find something to be so valuable that we would immediately like our children and our students to know about it and make it a part of their character, then before anything else, we should make it a part of our own character. Without this transformation in ourselves, there’s hardly a chance of effecting a transformation in anyone else.” He said with a hint of a sympathetic smile on his face.

“Are you saying that if we are not altruistic ourselves, we should not teach it to others?” I asked.

“No. What I am saying – and it does not relate only to altruism, but to all those moral qualities that we aspire to see in our young ones – is that if we want to develop these moral qualities in others, the first step is to be fully committed to developing these qualities in ourselves.” He said.
