This year's main theme is The Human Element in Consulting.

Ethan Schutz – What’s New at The Human Element

Ethan will give an update on all the new products that The Human Element staff is currently developing, along with news on our marketing and expansion efforts.

Monica Diaz – One-on-One Conflict Dissolution: Consulting with Human Elements when they are at their worst.

“Frequently my consulting work is aimed at helping to resolve difficult one on one relationships.  In these cases we use the Conflict Dissolution Booklet as a guide for a four session reflection for the pair, to assist them in gaining more self-knowledge and moving past their differences to a more productive and enjoyable relationship.  I will share our experiences in using the booklet as a way of organizing some of the Schutz Elements for this purpose.  I will take you through some of the successful exercises for dissolving conflict and fostering otheresteem.”

Judi Bell – Shadowing—the intersection of FIRO Theory  and neuroscience: Experience this powerful technique to deepen and enrich your consulting practice.

Ron Luyet – The Practice of Open Heartedness in Consulting

Exploring the challenge of staying tenderly and sincerely open to the world and clients who are resistant, judgmental, opinionated, boring, egotistical and do not seem to appreciate our great wit and wisdom.

Dick Thompson – Interpersonal Behavior at the Intersection of the Element B and Emotional Intelligence

“I’ll examines the emerging Emotional Intelligence (EI) landscape, some of its neurological substrates and the overall impact on human behavior in general, and interpersonal relations in particular. We’ll explore the area of interpersonal relations from the perspective of the intersection of the EI and Element B landscapes, and share practical applications of this knowledge.”

Gary Copeland - Consulting with Teams: Introducing the new Exploring Element B - Teams Workbook

We’ll use the expanded model of the Stages of Team Development to sharpen your ability to design team interventions and coach team leaders.
