Extended Abstract:
When was the last time you had a chance to reflect on your career path, your goals and learning aspirations for the upcoming year?
This tutorial will be an opportunity to do this reflection in a very meaningful and innovative way. Rooted in professional coaching practices from Co-Active Coaching, connected with several Liberating Structures, inspired by ideas from Emotional Agility and Positive Intelligence, this session will help you clarify your goals and aspirations as well as find the right balance for 2023. Should you continue developing your technical mastery? Should you spend more time growing your leadership skills? What could you take on, if you were brave enough? How to find the time?

You will explore these and many other questions! Working individually and in small groups, we will start by clarifying your own core values. We will then explore what’s on your plate today, and what you are hoping to gain in 2023 with Ecocyce Planning Liberating Structure. We will explore in depth your Ecocycle traps: good ideas that you are not moving forward with as well as skills and practices that are no longer relevant for your self-actualisation.

Next, you will practice to apply your core values as a filter to activities and aspirations on your Ecocycle. You will seek patterns, and take a systemic view with W3 structure, gaining new insights and re-evaluating your Ecocycle. Next, in a silent brainstorming, you will come up with a list of actions you would (and would not) take in 2023, if you were 25 time bolder. Once again, you will apply your core values as a filter to find the most impactful actions on your list. We will wrap up the tutorial with 15% Solutions Liberating Structure, asking you to make a choice of the immediate next steps toward more impact and more balance on your development journey.

This session will take you deep into what really matters for you as a professional and as a human being. Learn from the case studies of applying this framework in individual coaching, team workshops and leadership coaching. Be prepared to be surprised by your own insights and Aha! Moments of other session participants.
