Do you ever get the sense that you’re getting in your own way?

You’re managing someone and you know what to say.  Then, you don’t say it.  Or, you say it poorly and leave people upset.

Or someone you lead doesn’t do what you expected, and it’s like you failed.

Then, all of the sudden you’re going home dissatisfied, wondering is this my best? 

When you resolve to do more… better… different… it only brings you more of the same.

In all of these scenarios, have you ever stopped to ask: who is this “you” that takes things personally, gets defensive, and is then cut off being who you really want to be.

In this quarter we consider that, mostly, we live life as though who “I” am is an object – a thing that can be damaged, lost, and broken.  Living life this way, behavior organizes around keeping the object safe.

Acknowledging that, we start from an inquiry: what if who I am is behavior? 

This quarter is about breaking familiar patterns that are fundamentally entwined with who you think you are, to connect with and express values. At stake are those areas where

    • You are withholding communication
    • You are communicating and it’s not working. You’re left with dissatisfaction and regret.
    • Communication results in greater isolation and discord.
    • You don’t experience you can express yourself.

The promise of the quarter is that you will have greater access to living consistent with who you really intend to be.

This quarter we are working with all six primary ACT practices – The Self, Awareness, Acceptance, Defusion, Values and, mostly importantly, Committed Action.

      How it works – We meet twice monthly and, at each meeting, cover some content related to ACT and then immediately begin looking at where it applies in our lives.  Participants get live coaching in using principles, as well as practice with partners in break-out-rooms.  At the end of the session, you’ll get an assignment and some instruction to practice in your life.  Also between sessions, you will meet with a buddy to share progress and practice assignments.

      Continuing Education – Each live session is worth 1 CE.  This quarter, live sessions will be worth 1 Learning CEs, 3 Ethics, and 2 Supervision.  Live sessions are not recorded and cannot be made up for CE.  (You can always schedule time with the instructor to cover what you missed).

      Additionally there is supplemental online content, some of which you will be expected to review and familiarize yourself with prior to live sessions.  By completing all on-demand content you can earn and additional 7 CEs including 2.5 Ethics and 3 Supervision)
