Home / GLP Workshop 2020

Amara Collaboration with it’s co-founder and author of the Global Leadership Profile Bill Torbert, in collaboration with Global Leadership Associates (GLA) offer this unique 3-day workshop for business leaders, consultants, coaches and researchers, who wish to further their personal development and learn about the power and practice of Collaborative Developmental Action Inquiry. This is an approach that is statistically reliable generating both personal and organizational transformation. All participants complete the GLP and receive feedback on their centre-of-gravity, emergent, and fallback leadership action logic. Joining the workshop enables those who wish to take this further to become authorized to use the GLP within their organization or with their clients. One can do so by supervised practice of using the GLP with Jane Allen or Heidi Gutekunst. Once certified, you will become part of a growing community of practice to support this dimension of the work. Facilitated by Jane Allen and Heidi Gutekunst, with special online guest appearance by Bill Torbert and Elaine Herdman-Barker, this event offers a programme that blends the whatwhy and how of transformational leadership development, including:

  1. The theory and practice of Collaborative Developmental Action Inquiry (CDAI)
  2. The assessment and deepest appreciation of leaders’ predominant action-logics – their implications, qualities and shadows
  3. The ongoing practice of Action Inquiry and the richness this brings at the personal, team and organizational scales

WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE

At the workshop you will be exercising active listening and leadership, moving among peers in a community of inquiry, receiving direct feedback about your leadership impact, and thereby learning together practical ways to help yourself and others:

  • Identify current leadership action-logics
  • Become conscious of the shifts in individual habits
  • Exercise personal power and collaborative practice with greater mutuality
  • Build capacity to lead from the inside out using single-, double- and triple-loop feedback

The Global Leadership Profile Certification workshop in Helsinki, May 2017, was a life changing experience for me. The atmosphere that Jane and Heidi were able to evoke in the group was very special. It was truly living the transformational leadership in action, where every moment was a place for self-reflection and sensing, when to take action, and when to be in silence. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone interested in deeper development, and I suggest to engage in the evening activities as well. It was great to have Bill and Elaine on the line as well, as they are the theoretical experts of the GLP. The international group and great venue location at the heart of Helsinki really highlighted this amazing experience.

Three days “training” with #amaracollaboration has fundamentally changed me. My desire for awakening and being present has somehow become embodied. I really feel a major whole-body part of me died. Like, I died. Yet, here I am. A habitual, bone-deep sadness and anxiety has just…gone. Not bad for what on one level, was a leadership assessment certification course. *smiley blink* Posted on Instagram, May 2017.
