Workshop 4
MINDFUL ACTION WITH MESSY ISSUES
Applying the ARIES framework in making sense of issues and enabling change.
Presented by Don Dunoon
In this highly interactive, practically-oriented workshop, you will gain skills in mindfully opening-up messy – contentious, thorny – issues and building shared meaning to enable change. Most of us face messy issues in our roles, whether in dealing with resistance to a new training initiative, a troublesome client or team member, or differences with “the powers that be” about priorities or directions.
We might think we are dealing with messy issues mindfully, but are we? In our hyper-busy workplaces and lives, we tend to get caught up in some not very mindful behaviours – often without being aware of them. Examples include immediately judging rather than just taking pause to notice before evaluating; making and acting on assumptions about the realities of others without testing these; and skirting around the more sensitive issues while keeping the conversation on a safer, surface level. To be effective in enabling change, L&D managers and practitioners need to be able to move past such behaviour patterns. Doing so requires special skills.
In this workshop, you will learn to apply a set of practices and tools, ARIES (Attending, Reflecting, Inquiring, Expressing and Synthesising), to assist you in working through issues and advancing change mindfully. You will have opportunities to apply the tools to one or more issues of current concern to you, and to share your experience in doing so with colleagues.
By attending this workshop you will:
• Learn to use a framework that you can apply to help open-up virtually any messy issue
• Make headway in understanding and considering action possibilities with an issue that matters to you currently
• Gain confidence in dealing safely with messy issues involving
clients, senior executives, team members and other stakeholders
• Build skills to help you make headway with problems that can otherwise seem intractable.
Agenda
• Understanding messy issues
• Mindful – and not so mindful – action
• Two modes for action with messy issues
• Guidelines for intervening with safety
• Differentiating what you observe from inferences and conclusions (Attending)
• Looking at issues from multiple perspectives (Reflecting and the Reflection Matrix tool)
• Using questions to delve into the hidden reaches and test interpretations (Inquiring)
• Speaking up to foster engagement and mutual understanding (Expressing)
• Framing understandings of the challenges of change, for testing (Synthesising)
• Considering the risks and opportunities of action
• Making choices mindfully.
Don Dunoon is the author of In the Leadership Mode (Trafford, 2008), a book that frames leadership in terms of in-the-moment interventions to build shared meaning for change with contentious issues, and which differentiates leadership- and management-mode forms of action. He is joint author, with mindfulness expert Dr Ellen Langer of Harvard, of a 2011 article, “Mindfulness and Leadership: Opening up to Possibilities”, Integral Leadership Review, October.
As a consultant with over 20 years’ experience and based in Sydney, Don works with clients in Australia and the US, helping groups and individuals develop their capabilities in dealing productively with messy issues. A regular presenter at international conferences, he has an M Com (Hons) degree from the University of New South Wales, and has contributed to post-graduate teaching at that university.
