Feeling your way: Five group dynamics that you already experience but can become a guide for getting things done

Note: this session runs for 90 minutes + 20 minutes for afternoon break.

Working in groups to get things done you likely experience some challenging feelings – things like: disillusionment, anxiety, frustration, disappointment, boredom. But what if these emotions weren’t problems, but signals for what needs your attention? What if they could give you a clear felt sense of what is needed to move things forward?

This session will remind you of what your body already knows – that when we stay present we can bypass over-analysis. Instead, it becomes obvious to us what we need to do next.

Participant takeaways:

• Appreciate the messy reality of getting things done in groups as not a failure but the nature of how collaboration works
• Access wisdom in your visceral experiences (including challenging emotions)
• To look at a real situation and find a conversation that you are confident will move things forward
