Baltimore Mediation

March Know Thyself: Conflict Transformation & The Enneagram as Catalyst
2021-03-25 13:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | This training will be held virtually on Zoom., MD, United States
An introductory workshop taught in the narrative tradition by Enneagram Master Trainer Louise Phipps Senft with a focus on nine personality types which contribute to everyday motivations, leadership and negotiation styles and personal reactivity in conflict.

The Enneagram is a dynamic system of 9 personality types. It is meant to help us understand ourselves, the people in our lives, and our relationship to greater realities that guide us. How well in tune we are with our internal state, or how self-aware we are has a strong influence on how we ‘do’ conflict. With a better understanding of conscious motivations, we can reduce our personal reactivity and better handle difficult situations.

Participants first take a short Enneagram inventory, then break into small groups to share strengths, weaknesses, and to discuss conflict experiences. Louise Phipps Senft leads the workshop in the narrative tradition, so attendees can deepen their learning with others. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of self and other relationships in
their lives. If you are looking to improve your relationships with individuals that matter the most, whether it be children, parents, family members, or co-workers, the Enneagram workshop is an invaluable experience.

WORKSHOP FOCUS

The Enneagram: Understanding yourself and others
Using the Enneagram of personality to reduce difficult interactions
Self-Awareness and development
Understanding reactions to conflict in order to better manage reactivity
Managing automatic responses in relation to your center of intelligence
Mindfulness and other Enneagram applications
Enneagram ethics

Dates: Thursday March 25 (1pm-6:00pm) , 2021
Course Fee: $395
Location: We will be holding this workshop VIRTUALLY using Zoom.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR RELATIONAL LEADERSHIP
2016-02-24 09:00 - 13:00 | Union Mill, 1500 Union Avenue, Baltimore, 21211
Registration closed. Upcoming dates to be posted soon!

Join mediators/authors Louise Phipps Senft and William Senft for a 4 hour seminar session.

Improve your skills in Being Relational and learn how to break through the conflicts that drive you crazy.

Become a Relational Leader in your family, your organization, and your community.

Relational Leaders believe there are opportunities for quality interaction in every transaction, in every negotiation, and in every conflict. The challenge is to recognize them and be aware of how you can deliberately seize them to increase well-being.

By becoming a Relational Leader, you can:

Change your interactions with the most difficult people in your life

Create better outcomes for both you and them

It only takes one person to change the interaction and that person can be you.
You engage in multiple negotiations on a daily basis. Some are business transactions. Most are not. All have an opportunity usually unrealized. You can choose to be transactional (focused on maximizing the outcome for self – short term gain), or you can choose to be relational (focused on maximizing well-being for both self and others – long term gain). The opportunity is how to be in the interaction itself.
When you choose to engage relationally, shifts happen, impact occurs, and people are more receptive to you and your ideas. And, you are more receptive to them and theirs…. It’s all about how to be in the interaction.
This session will provide an overview of the Four Ways to Quality Interaction: Being Engaged, Being Centered, Being Grounded and Being Clear.You will learn practical skills for dealing with real situations and real people. Become more conscious, more discerning, and highly effective in negotiating difficult problems and difficult personalities, professionally and personally.

As part of the session, selected participants will be invited to volunteer for a live consultation with Louise and Bill on how they can change the interaction with a difficult person.

Participants will receive a signed copy of Being Relational, The Seven Ways to Quality Interaction and Lasting Change.

Description: With a better understanding of our conscious motivations, we can better handle conflict. Self-awareness is greatly heightened by working with our own type’s leading strengths and unrecognized blind spots. Taught in the company of others, this system also generates compassion and relationship skills with people who experience the world in a very different way. The Enneagram is a dynamic system of nine personality types. It is meant to help us understand ourselves, the people in our lives, and our habits of mind and reactivity in conflict and otherwise.

Testimonials: “I decided to take the Self Awareness and Conflict Transformation: The Enneagram as Catalyst course with Louise Phipps Senft for a couple of reasons. First, I had taken a mediation course with Louise some years ago and found her course to help expand to my mediation knowledge as a newcomer to the field. She had good solid material that was presented in a way that I could understand and use. Secondly, now that I am somewhat seasoned and am required to take courses every two years, I wanted something different to give myself a fresh prospective on a personal level that fit with expanding my mediation skills. I looked into the Enneagram theory that Louise was offering and found that it is not only is used in workplace dynamics but also in a path to self enlightenment . I discovered more about myself, and others, as well as the strengths I have to use as a mediator and as a person. This course was just the beginning of a practice of personal development and I would recommend it to anyone who wants more than one more tool in their mediation toolbox. Well worth taking.” – Carl G. French III , Mediator, Founder: Washington County Community Mediation Center, Health Department, Threat Preparedness Coordinator
