In this highly interactive and visually stimulating event, you will have an opportunity to discover a new framework for promoting lasting motivation and engagement.

Developments in brain science and neuropsychology have given us new insights into what it takes to get and stay motivated toward our goals. In this program you'll learn a new approach to defusing resistance to change and new ways to tap hidden resources in yourself and your clients. This introductory program provides participants with interactive experiences and tools for themselves and their clients to:

• Identify and remove obstacles blocking the achievement of goals

• Understand and better manage “threat response”

• Uncover and apply natural talents for lasting motivation.

Grounded Visioning: Creating Shared Vision Fast

Presented by: Jay Vogt
Date: Thursday, March 15, 2012, 5:30-8:00pm

Location: Lesley University's Brattle Campus, 10 Phillips Place, Washburn Hall, Washburn Lounge, Cambridge, MA 

5:30 - 6:00 pm - Networking, 6:00 - 8:00 pm - Event  

According to Kouzes and Posner (2009) “Being forward-looking—envisioning exciting possibilities and enlisting others in a shared view of the future—is the attribute that most distinguishes leaders from nonleaders.”  But how do you do this quickly, not just with one group, but multiple and diverse groups of people in an organization or community?  Grounded Visioning is a new methodology for creating shared vision in diverse group of up to 250 people in organizations and communities in four hours or less. 

 In this fun, interactive workshop you will:

• Experience the simple power of Grounded Visioning in action

• Learn the 6 steps of Grounded Visioning from assembling stakeholders, to sharing dreams, and planning next steps

• Get ready to apply Grounded Visioning by discussing actual case examples and getting your questions answered so you can put Grounded Visioning to work for you

Learn about the 6 steps of Grounded Visioning and case examples of it in action in Jay’s blog post, articles and his new book, Recharge Your Team: The Grounded Visioning Approach, published  by Praeger.
