| Leading Conscious Collaboration |
What do you intend to create with your leadership?
How does your participation influence the collaborative process and outcomes?
Beginning with these questions, we explore possibilities for catalyzing change in business contexts. Conscious collaboration begins with a clear intention to create something that matters to you.
Conscious collaboration becomes fun and enlivening when people work together by choice and from a creative (rather than reactive) orientation to solving problems. Where does organizational change happen and how? Much depends on where you direct your attention. To achieve change in behaviors and actions (and therefore results), we must pay attention to what drives those behaviors, namely the underlying thoughts, feelings, beliefs and assumptions. The challenge is to move beyond the limitations of unconscious habits and reactivity.
Bridging from theory to practice, students practiced giving and receiving intentional feedback. The challenge is in delivering candid, productive feedback that is most likely to produce the intended outcome. The art of leading conscious collaboration is learned and practiced in the subtleties of conversations like these.

| Leaders Wanted: Part 2 |
What stories are essential for masterful leadership? In September 2005, Beata engaged Stammtisch members in a conversation about leadership and personal mastery. In Part II, Beata will lead participants in an exploration about leadership and storytelling. Stories inspire and give meaning for the commitments and actions by which you create your results...whether success or something thing else. How can you tell what stories are “real” for people and which ones are "fairytales?" What are the elements of a compelling story that generates synergy and a big “wow!” in business? Come prepared to participate and to be surprised. We will have chocolate!

| Enrolling People to Give Their Best |
How do you have to change your thinking when you become a new executive or business owner? A lot rests on your performance, individually. You engage with business at a whole new level of play. But success depends on your ability to envision what you want and to create it with other people. As you strive for excellence in yourself, how are you engaging the people around you? Those people might be internal or external to your business. How does your participation and leadership impact the collaborative process and outcomes? How do other people feature in your evolving leadership story?
How can you get better results through other people? This Critical Conversation will explore possibilities for leading collaborative "success teams." |

| From Surviving to Thriving |
When we make the choice to thrive, some questions immediately come up:
1) What do I want?
2) What needs to change? and
3) What resources do I already have that can get me there?
As change agents, we guide clients toward making new choices consciously and being able to follow through with congruent action. As change agents, we lead the way by living our own message, working at our own growth edges. Beata Lewis, Executive Coach and Change Consultant, will lead us in a conversation about moving from surviving to thriving. She will share essential tools and insights from her experience that you can apply for both professional and personal benefit.

| Giving and Receiving Feedback in the Workplace |
Feedback is an essential aspect of communication for leaders and teams. Effective feedback can generate clarity, alignment and coordinated action. However, when feedback generates misunderstanding and defensiveness, it can contribute to costly breakdowns rather than alleviating them. Participate in this workshop to learn vital distinctions about feedback and practice the art of communicating on purpose.

| Leaders Wanted! |
Just because it’s called leadership doesn’t mean that it is leadership. How do you recognize and relate to excellent and seasoned leaders? How do these leaders elicit and reward the best in you and in others? Looking beyond the titles and positions, we will consider the essentials for being a living example of a great leader and why that matters in your business and life. Fuhrvergnuegen!

| Can You Be Tough Enough? |
Women leaders are consistently asked this question, especially by men and especially as they are considered for higher levels of leadership visibility and responsibility. The question “can you be tough enough” can surprise and dismay someone who knows she is otherwise competent and a good choice “on the merits.” It can be heard something like “are you man enough for this assignment?” How do you answer that question? What concerns may lurk behind that question? Can you be yourself (without pretending, for example, to be tougher) and still be the leader you want to be? In this session we will address these and related questions for women learning to be authentic, satisfied and powerful leaders.

Play Like a Woman;
Win Like a Man |
We are changing how the game of business is played. For women leaders, what could it mean to play like a woman and to win like a man? Generations of women have strived to play like men, adapting themselves to overcome a persistent presumption of incompetence and lack of credibility as leaders. More women are getting very good at the game as it is played. And many of those women are choosing to reclaim what they sacrificed along the way. Playing like a woman might open new possibilities for making life-enhancing choices to advance in the game. Winning, whether like a man or otherwise, might not even be the point. As we bring more of ourselves to conscious leadership and business practices, we play to experience success in new ways.
This will be the first of several sessions offered at this FREE all-day conference for Women in Business.

| Communication: Building or Breaking Trust? |
Trust breakdowns are often surprisingly persistent and costly. They are also opportunities for learning and risk taking. What types of trust are crucial for productivity in the workplace and in leadership? What and how you communicate builds or breaks trust. Explore distinctions between authentic and blind trust. Experiment with communication to restore trust. Practice so you're ready when it counts. |

Leadership: Integrating the Masculine and Feminine |
This
fourth annual program in our 'Women in Leadership' series will
look for the best of both the feminine and the masculine qualities
that find expression in both men and women so that powerfully
conscious leaders can emerge. How can leadership practices be
more inclusive of the strengths of both? If leaders were strong
and integrated in both, what difference could it make in these
times of leadership crisis in our world? Men and women are invited
to participate in this evening of inquiry.

Perspectives for Everyday Negotiations |
Special

Do
you miss opportunities to improve your situation, partly due
to a reluctance to ask for what you want or need? How can you
negotiate from a position of greater strength, whether on your
own behalf or for the benefit of others? As a conversation aimed
at finding optimal solutions for everyone involved, negotiation
is an essential workplace, leadership and life skill. Whatever
your attitude and experience with negotiating, find out how
you can benefit from insights and tips offered in this session.

Consider this: when under pressure we generally perform to the
level of our practice, not to the level of our potential or
expectations. So, what practices are you ready to take on that
will increase your chances of creating satisfaction in critical
negotiations, like your focal? This interactive session will
provoke creative thought and help you gain clarity about behaviors
and strategies you can choose for greater wins at focal and

for what you want...and getting it. For certain kinds of issues
and with certain people, it seems rarely that simple! At our
September meeting we will inquire about what works and how we
can get out of our own way in making requests. Requests that
produce a different quality of interaction and open new possibilities
for results. We will address concerns that arise for women leading
and collaborating at various levels of our organization, including
senior leadership levels.

Not
so long ago it was news that women were leading in science.
There is still a lot of room for more women leaders in science,
especially at the more senior levels. What else matters besides
numbers? Impact.
If
you want essential changes in how men and women lead scientific
ventures, you are in the best of company. How will those changes
happen? By choices you make and actions you take. Are you
ready to lead for a change?
Beata
Lewis will speak to the issues of impact and change, drawing
particularly from her experience coaching women leaders in science.
She will include an overview of the study she conducted in 2003:
The Feminine Face of Leadership in Science as well as
supportive findings from related studies about women as leaders.

What

As
practitioners of conflict resolution in any context, how do
we touch into the core of what produces resolution and new possibilities
for our clients?
Conflict
resolution is typically taught and practiced as a mind-based
discipline. Despite increased awareness and acceptance of the
mind-body connection, it mostly stays in the realm of conversation
rather than being experienced in learning and embodied in practice.
In this session, participants will share core reflections from
their experience as well as engage in experiential, interactive
learning. Beata C. Lewis, J.D., will share reflections from
her work as a leadership coach, organizational consultant and
mediator.

Career
transitions are stressful: they move us out of the familiar
into something new. They can involve significant changes in
how we perceive ourselves and in the degree of control we have
over our destiny. What future do you want to create for yourself?
How can you:
* Not get stopped by fear
* Take care of practical concerns
* Turn a negative into a positive picture
* Keep your "eye on the prize"
Explore how you can stay "on track" for that future
even when you feel like you're getting "derailed"

Where
is Your Energy Going Now?
|
As
a woman leader or entrepreneur, you need a lot of personal power
to juggle multiple commitments, overcome obstacles, and gain
trustworthy support to create the life you want. How much of
your essential energy goes to putting out fires, expecting perfection
from yourself, or getting distracted by people and circumstances
that do not contribute toward fulfillment of your dreams? How
might your professional and personal life be different if you
used more of your creative energy for yourself and to forge
a way of leading truer to your nature?
Especially
in times of complexity and change, leaders who by their presence
and competency can build trust quickly and inspire others to
collaboration are the ones who succeed. Building your presence
as a leader is a process of coming into an authentic and powerful
sense of self and being able to extend into the world with clear
intention, skillful action, and grounded compassion. With somatically-oriented
leadership coaching you learn to lead not only by virtue of
your knowledge and role but also by the power of your presence.

| Leadership:
What's Trust Got to Do With It? |
What
do our clients need to know and embody about trust?
In
her experience as a coach and consultant to leaders in organizations
and as a mediator (and formerly as an attorney), Beata Lewis
has found that a central underlying question in leadership and
collaboration is: how to restore trust? Where people have taken
trust for granted and pursued more "obvious" bottom-line
priorities at the expense of relational concerns, the costs
of damaged trust can be stunning and far reaching. Often it
isn't until trust is damaged or shattered that people in organizational
contexts begin to realize the essential nature of trust in all
relationships. What to do then? What support--what awareness,
skills, and practices--helps restore authentic trust so people
can work together as they need to?
Beata Lewis, Bridging Lives (www.bridginglives.com), will lead
a conversation about coaching individuals and groups within
organizations to create greater awareness and skill around trust
dynamics. She will highlight approaches that emphasize healing,
by contrast to the culturally more familiar approach of asserting
rights and demanding other types of remedies.

Conflict Transformation |
Dieser
Workshop lädt dazu ein,
-
typische
Reaktionsmuster (physische, emotionale und intellektuelle) im
Konflikt kennenzulernen und das Spektrum der eigenen Handlungsmöglichkeiten
zu erweitern;
-
den
eigenen Körper als differenziertes Instrument der Selbst-
und Fremdwahrnehmung zu erfahren; und
-
grundlegende
körperbasierte Improvisationsprinzipien fY¨r einen effektiveren
und kreativeren Umgang mit beruflichen und privaten Konflikt-
und Streßsituationen nutzbar zu machen.
Der
Workshop richtet sich vor allem an Menschen, die in ihrer beruflichen
Tätigkeit viel mit Konflikten arbeiten - also insbesondere
an MediatorInnen, JuristInnen, ManagerInnen etc. Für die
Teilnahme sind keine speziellen Fähigkeiten oder Vorerfahrungen
in den Bereichen Körperarbeit und Bewegung erforderlich.
v
While
we regularly encounter metaphors such as the "negotiation tango"
and "dance of change," we rarely, if ever, explore their actual
physical truths and implications. This is a highly interactive workshop
where you will experience a deeper and more differentiated awareness
of conflict dynamics in yourself and in interaction with others.
By integrating exercises in body awareness and improvisational movement
with practical examples of conflict situations, you will gain greater
capacity to understand and transform conflict and to regenerate
collaboration.

Conflict Transformation |
While
we regularly encounter metaphors such as the "negotiation tango"
and "dance of change," we rarely, if ever, explore their actual
physical truths and implications. This is a highly interactive workshop
where you will experience a deeper and more differentiated awareness
of conflict dynamics in yourself and in interaction with others.
By integrating exercises in body awareness and improvisational movement
with practical examples of conflict situations, you will gain greater
capacity to understand and transform conflict and to regenerate
collaboration. (click

| Trust
and Betrayal in the Workplace: Introduction to the Reina Trust and
Betrayal Model |
At
the core of all relationship building is our capacity to lead and
participate in collaboration from a resilient connection of trust.
Trust is, however, often the weakest link in the core leadership
triad of knowledge, trust and power. Leadership power arises in
effectively mobilizing knowledge and trust. Leadership in this spirit
and trust-based collaboration are essential for real (rather than
in name only), sustainable and successful partnering of any kind
in business.
Although
trustÑand the absence of betrayalÑcan be critical to the accomplishment
of strategic organizational goals, todayÕs business leaders are
often faced with the task of rebuilding trust in organizations without
the support, tools or understanding necessary to work with the consequences
of betrayal and complex dynamics of trust.
Join
us to learn about a new research-based and objective framework for
understanding trust and betrayal dynamics in the workplace. Beata
Lewis, Bridging Lives, will introduce the Reina Trust and Betrayal
Model that distinguishes between types of trust and betrayal and
identifies corresponding behaviors that build and restore trust.
The
Reina Trust and Betrayal Modelª and corresponding measurement instruments
offer a comprehensive and practical framework and tools to help
leaders understand the dynamics of trust and betrayal in the workplace.
The corresponding measurement tools--The Reina Organizational Trust
Scaleª, Reina Team Trust Scaleª, and Reina Leadership Trust Scaleª--each
measure trust through the lens of the model and offer pragmatic
guidance for how to build and restore trust. These are the only
research-based and statistically valid measurement instruments available
specifically to address behavioral dynamics of trust and betrayal
in the workplace.
This
model and corresponding instruments have been used with remarkable
results in organizations in private industry, state government,
higher education, and the non-profit sector, including AT&T, BF
Goodrich Aerospace, Harvard University, Ben & JerryÕs, Bankers Trust,
and Walt Disney World.
Beata
C. Lewis is one of a select group of coaches and consultants certified
to work with this model and administer the instruments to benchmark,
measure, and monitor levels of trust within organizational systems.
She offers occasional public seminars in trust building and has
begun to use these tools for leadership development initiatives
within organizations. Trust building is a leitmotiv through all
of Beata's work as a coach and consultant helping leaders and their
teams develop mastery in practices that cultivate sustainable, profitable
collaboration. It is a direct extension and creative application
of her professional experience as a mediator and, formerly, as an
attorney.

| Building
Relationships of Trust in the Workplace |
How
can we build bridges of trust across the chasms of our differences
in the workplace? What are the possibilities and boundaries of trust
with someone fundamentally different from you? What is necessary
for restoring trust when it is damaged or lost? Where does trust
figure in our success as leaders and business women partnering with
others? Beata Lewis, Principle of Bridging Lives, will introduce
models and insights specifically about trust building as part of
what promises to be a provocative conversation about the art of
cultivating relationships in business and life.

Participant
Comments:
My
experience of Ms. Lewis' presentation is very positive, refreshing,
and thought provoking. She models in her presentation getting to
the heart of business and personal relationships through inner-directed
authenticity, integrity and trust, the source of success. Rayna

Leadership Skills |
Use
collaboration to be more effective in your work - with less stress
and more fun - bring forward your natural leadership capacity.
Successful
collaboration depends on bridges of trust between people working
together. Trust is the foundation of relationships and is vital
to individual, group and overall organizational performance. Trust-based
leadership increases creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative
capacity and pormotes flexible and adaptive work environments. Beata
Lewis, principal of Bridging Lives, will emphasize five areas where
collaboration tends to break down and can be strengthened:
- communication
- negotiation
- conflict
resolution
- collaborative
process
- agreement
structuring.
Beata
will also introduce the Reina Trust and Betrayal Modelª which provides
a comprehensive and practical framework to help people understand
the dynamics of trust and betrayal in the workplace.
This
workshop will help you:
- develop
collaborative leadership skills
- highlight
your natural leadership ability
- support
and enhance your collaborations
- define
your values and goals
- earn
greater success in your career.
