Business Dojo 2022

Conflict & Collaboration and other Paradoxes

We are excited to offer our business and leadership dojo of three sessions  – if you identify as a leader, work with leaders in your role and/or want to develop your inner leader, read on!

Business to us, is any organisation or project with a purpose. It may or may or may not involve financial profit. The people and business interacts in the world and have accountability. The entitiy needs to be viable in order to exist.

Each session will begin with a short presentation on a relevant process-oriented business concept. The main focus of every session is a case offered by a participant for the group to study, as we unfold it with its owner.

A ‘case’ to us is a situation you are carrying, that required some unpacking to be able to enjoy the contents to their full and use them purposefully. ‘A case’ in our imagination is also a metaphor for hidden powers within the participant’s unique being, their role, the purpose, and the structural field they are operating within.

We the facilitators are organisational coaches and love the deep dive into complex situations and conflicts that appear in people, companies and organisations we work with. We have found that these often unfold into magical unforeseen perspectives for an impossible situation with fresh vitality.

We have learned so much from the ancient dojo tradition, where participants come together to learn, spar and practice new postures to take back into life. In that spirit, our title is Business Dojo.

The leadership dojo is exactly as described  …a deep opportunity for learning about yourself, your impact and your next steps on your journey to be the leader you most want to be! Julia and Simone are incredibly skilled and will show you in a gentle and supportive way your impact as a leader in whatever system you choose to work within. It wasn’t always comfortable – growing out of our tightly woven shells rarely is –  and it was much needed! Raggi Kotak Barrister; Facilitator; Coach, UK

A valuable, transformative process, Partly due to a level of intensity of the experience which will support an ongoing effect for me
I loved the form and the creativity. Such a unique offering  – and has already had lasting impact – CEO of a peak body in Australia

Our interactive approach to unfolding a case is a space for everyone to witness and support the case presenter of the moment.

You will get to experience and try out our tried and tested process work tools, in particular:

  • Your magical mojo: finding your special ingredient for showing up as YOU in your situation and/or role
  • Role mapping and structural analysis
  • The deep democracy conflict cycle and phase approach
  • Leveraging shifts at multiple levels, by identifying the entry point for the work and interventions – personal, team or structural
  • Harvesting new awakenings among the group of participants who find resonances with their own situation.

Be prepared to go beyond surface answers, to be challenged, and allow yourself to be in a temporary state of unknowing where new insights can emerge!
