An ‘unconference’ is a participant-driven gathering. Delegates actively contribute to the agenda, sharing lots of dynamic open discussions.

Rather than a single speaker at the front of the room presenting PowerPoint slides, there will be ‘Key Agitators’ stirring and facilitating conversations and debate.

From effectiveness to greatness – Being effective as individuals and organisations is no longer optional in today’s world – it’s the price of entry to the playing field.

SURVIVING, THRIVING, INNOVATING, EXCELLING AND LEADING in this new reality will require us to build on and reach beyond effectiveness. The call and need of a new ear is for greatness. It’s for fulfilment, passionate execution and significant contribution. It’s about seeing and harnessing the power of a third dimension, that meets the central challenge of the new Knowledge Worker Age. This 8th Habit is to find your voice and inspire others to find theirs (Stephen R. Covey The 8th Habit – From Effectiveness to Greatness!)

Catching the Third Wave: Developing genuinely collaborative partnerships for change

David Lees and Paul Montgomery of Unique Outcomes will be facilitating this workshop in Brisbane on 5-6 November.

Ideal for all those who are interested in strength-focused approaches to change that honour the wisdom, skills and knowledge of all those  involved:

Over the past couple of decades, David Lees and Paul Montgomery of Unique Outcomes have participated in the rise of what Bill O’Hanlon has called the “Third Wave”.  Unlike the “first wave” (that has workers analysing psychopathology) and the “second wave” (that has us hypothesizing problematic patterns), the “Third Wave” is based on a genuine faith in the insider knowledges, intentions and potentials of the people for whom we provide a service.  As keen “surfers” of this wave, David & pAul have been practicing, supervising and teaching these ideas in a range of contexts and are delighted to have this new opportunity to bring together highlights from four of the important “practice traditions” that are part of this wave. These four traditions are: Appreciative Inquiry, Narrative, Solution-Focused and Strengths Based Practice.

More Information

WHEN: 9.30 a.m. – 4.30 p.m., Monday 5 & Tuesday 6 November, 2012

WHERE: Riverglenn Convention Centre, 70 Kate St Indooroopilly, Brisbane

COST: $480 (incl GST) includes 2 days of training, all materials, meals & refreshments.

TO REGISTER: phone Mary on 0400 500 674 or email mary@uniqueoutcomes.com.au
