“The exercises used during the Integral Leadership workshop really helped bring the AQAL and Spiral Dynamics theory to life for me. I now have some clear ideas on how to apply these theories directly to my work with organizations and leaders.” ~ Stephanie Davidson, CEO, Wellspring Consulting


Leaders can best navigate in a world that is complex when their organizing framework and principles are sufficiently robust to make sense of it all. Equally important is the capacity to continuously invent in a world that is fundamentally emergent – calling for new approaches, new thinking, and new ways of being. This one-day experiential workshop combines the breakthrough thinking of Creative Emergence with the comprehensive worldview of Integral Theory to create unprecedented possibilities for today’s leaders.

Our basic approach is rooted in the notion that the sweeping and revolutionary insights of Integral Theory are not a template to be laid down on top of individuals and organizations, but instead are a framework for exploration and discovery of that which is emerging in each of us separately and collectively. This exploration, we believe, is best conducted by actively engaged participants.

This content-rich and highly interactive workshop takes you beyond the theory alone and into the embodiment and practical applications of integral leadership. Participants will go below the surface on a journey of experiential discovery of what it means to be an embodied integral leader in today's multifaceted, ever-emergent world.

This workshop is an opportunity to engage the approaches, principles and practices of integral theory and creative emergence into purposeful action...and for achieving next-level results.
