C. Otto Scharmer
Beth Jandernoa
Arawana Hayashi
In working with leadership teams across sectors and industries, Otto Scharmer realized that leaders could not meet their existing challenges by operating on the basis of past experience alone. A synthesis of his most recent research has resulted in a framework and practice called presencing, which he elaborates in Theory U: Leading from the Future as It Emerges (2007), and in Presence: An Exploration of Profound Change in People, Organizations, and Society (2005), co-authored with Peter Senge, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue Flowers. With his colleagues, Scharmer has used presencing to facilitate profound innovation and change processes both within companies and across societal systems.
Beth Jandernoa, who has over 20 years of experience in organizational learning work and dialogue processes in business, healthcare, education, government, and community non-profits, will help participants understand and apply the tools and practices of Presencing.
Arawana Hayashi, a dancer, choreographer, and teacher, will introduce Presencing Embodiment Practices as well as offer meditation techniques that help participants to work more holistically.
