Effective Leadership, Influence, and Change with Spiral Dynamics®
Join Chris Cowan, co-author of Spiral Dynamics, and Natasha Todorovic for this continuation of Spiral Dynamics 1 with full access to Crossings amenities.
What is Spiral Dynamics?
Spiral Dynamics is attracting attention all over the world for its power to explain human behavior. From interpersonal conflict to organizational change and national upheaval, Spiral Dynamics offers a framework for understanding and resolving challenges in human relationships at every level—from interpersonal conflicts to organizational change to national upheaval. Consultants, trainers, educators, and coaches around the globe are turbo-charging their skills by adding this approach to their repertoires.
The study of Spiral Dynamics enables us not only to understand human development and motivation but also to gain profound insights into ourselves and our relationships with others. Almost from the moment of birth, we are repeatedly faced with the need to reorganize the way we think in order to perform new and ever-changing tasks. Spiral Dynamics helps us open a window into the roots of human behavior, which is fundamentally a process of change, reorganization and increased awareness.
Spiral Dynamics 2: Take Your Knowledge to the Next Level
Spiral Dynamics 2 is a more extensive look into the theoretical base of Spiral Dynamics and how to apply it to real-world situations. Completion of NVCC's Spiral Dynamics 1 is a prerequisite for participating in this course.
Spiral Dynamics 2 will deepen your understanding of the Spiral Dynamics model by going further into the theory, examining different applications through case studies, and creating opportunities for you to analyze your own cases, problems, and organizations. Once the basics have been acquired at the Spiral Dynamics 1 level, in-depth applications and complex problems can be analyzed, understood, and discussed through this more encompassing lens. You will learn to use Spiral Dynamics at descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive levels.
This course concentrates on primary source materials and research. We go more in-depth into the seminal work of Dr. Clare W. Graves and the foundations of Spiral Dynamics theory. Chris Cowan, who worked directly with Dr. Graves during the last decade of his life, brings bring a unique perspective to Graves’ elegant research and the powerful ideas it has generated.
