Episode 1: deep democracy meets organizations
My guest today:
Virginia Anderson, a highly appreciated colleague of mine, leadership and performance coach, consultant and trainer. Virginia lives in Luxembourg and works in Europe. Connect with her on LinkedIn and find out more about her work.
Our topic - Deep democracy meets organizations:
What is wrong with asking your team? How do you create a space for all voices to be heard in your organization? And why do we need this? In organizations people need a space to have a voice! One way to create a space where all voices can be heard is the process work and systemic constellation work approach called “deep democracy” by Arnold Mindell. An experienced coach facilitates deep democracy and supports the team, department, or organization through the process and the debrief. You can use it in leadership development, team development, organizational development, in a change, or transformation process.
In this episode we discuss the what, the why and the how exactly of a deep democracy process in organizations and for teams.
