Just How Good Could You Be? The Shadow Knows

On the 31^st August 2011, John Scherer and Amy Barnes will be the facilitators for a 1-day advance facilitation workshop titled"Just How Good Could You Be? The Shadow Knows..".

Brief Synopsis

In this workshop, John and Amy will help you discover a surprising, even shocking, source of greater competence and confidence: your Shadow. By engaging in a series of simple but profound exercises, involving two of The Five Questions, you will tap into a completely new way of being and facilitating, one that connects you to what has been missing for a long time. By embracing the extraordinary gifts embedded in your Shadow, you will be able to bring more of who you ARE to everything you DO. `Simply a stunning experience.' Terry Rogers, MD, Executive Director, Washington Foundation for Health Care Quality. `Underneath, we are all searching for ourselves. In his Five Questions, John, my spiritual brother, shows how to discover one's own Self in the workplace, using simple, powerful processes.' Sri Shuddhaanandaa Brahmachari, Author, Making Your Mind Your Best Friend and Founder, Lokenath Devine Life Mission, Calcutta, India.

Dear IAF members and facilitators ,

We are pleased to announce the 14th Annual IAF Asia Facilitator Conference is open to registration now!!

The Conference will be held in Bangalore, India. Bangalore has been the technology capital of India and also the capital of culturally rich state of Karnataka. With a history going back to 12th century, Bangalore has grown to become the Silicon Valley of India. It has blended the tradition with the absolute modern and Bangaloreans are known to welcome people from all across the world with open arms. With its Gulmohar & Jacaranda lined roads, along with hi tech buildings, Bangalore is happy to play host to facilitators from all over the world.

The theme of this year's 14th Annual IAF Asia Facilitator Conference is "Facilitation: The Language of Collaborative Outcomes". As the world has shrunk in terms of connecting and organizations are part of a "global village", there are new opportunities as well as challenges. We would like to enable people make this transition to the global village rather seamlessly and accept and adopt the new status of a "global citizen". To do so, the focus of both individuals & organizations must be on collaborative outcomes based on shared ownership and by rising above the current challenges to achieve the Unity of Purpose. So, through the 14th Annual IAF Asia Conference, we hope to provide individuals & organizations the tools, methods & processes to facilitate outcomes in any organizational or institutional framework through collaboration.
