The art of Transformation

A two-day workshop

Create lasting and meaningful change - join our open two-day workshop and create change in your professional and private life.

Join our workshop if you are facing major challenges or changes in your life – or if you are going through a major change process. Or maybe you want to future-proof your change efforts.

Feel free to bring your colleagues or other close business partners. The purpose of our workshop is to prepare you personally or as a group to understand and handle change in all the various aspects of life. Change is a never-ending process – and being able to understand the inherent nature of change processes and handle change is an essential area of professional development – for you as a manager, for your team and for your organisation.

Creating and facilitating change is a core competency at Stifinder, and we have over 20 years of experience working with the topic. So naturally, we are very excited to be able to offer this workshop where our learnings and insight will be filtered down to a development process that will give you greater strength and clarity – now and in your future work.

Change – the only constant in our professional and private lives

Whether it is about technological progress, political changes, restructuring, adjustment of work processes or changes in our private surroundings, one thing is given – change is inevitable, and it always provokes a reaction. Well-known reactions are fear of the unknown or of losing control, safety, identity, reputation, professional esteem, etc. We may face denial, reluctance, discouragement or direct opposition – maybe even without being aware of it. These are natural reactions, but they do not always help us make meaningful and conscious decisions.

Blind spots may create obstacles even for our best intentions. So, when working with change, it is crucial to have the courage to face all aspects and variations of human reactions. That is where you will find huge development potential – when you embrace and transform behavioural patterns that are no longer relevant in the light of the changes and the new state we want to achieve or adapt to.

During the workshop we will explain the reactions often provoked by change and give you the necessary toolbox to face the reactions consciously and with a plan. With solid grounding you will navigate with clarity. Then the changes will happen – not around you but with you involved. This is the starting point of our workshop. You will learn to stay strong and grounded. As a manager, as a colleague, as a human being.

From reactive to proactive – strengthen your inherent leadership 

When the world around us changes at increasing speed, it is no longer enough just to react. Reaction without direction is emergency repair. Instead, you need to create an overview and ask questions such as: How can I control my future situation before someone else creates it for me?

Leadership in a complex and diverse era demands more than just action. You need to have the courage to stay in the present – even when it feels uncertain – and at the same time look to the future. Leadership is having the courage to embrace uncertainty and at the same trust that you will find clarity and direction in due time.

At our workshop, we will give you the proactive task of describing the state you want to achieve after the change process. Not a fixed plan but rather pointing out a direction that determines your actions and the course you will follow. Proactive planning is not about knowing all the answers up front but about having a distinct and promising vision of what you and the people around you need to achieve. This will be your focus during the workshop – to go from reaction to direction. You will learn about strategic thinking, conscious and calm reaction and making sense of complexity – both for yourself and for others.

During the two intensive days you will learn “The art of transformation” working with a real-life challenge or change that you will describe in advance and bring to the workshop as your personal case. Your challenge may be strategic, organisational or team related, about relations or a personal challenge. The most important thing is that it matters to you.

During the workshop you will explore how you can succeed in going through this specific change, and how you can navigate unknown territory. We will provide the toolbox and time to explore and reflect so that you will become able to act with clarity, presence and integrity.

We will work with the actual change process as it presents itself in your life and under your leadership. Not in theory – but in practice. In the process, you will discover resources already available to you, and you will find new ways of taking action, new perspectives and an inner calm that you may reactivate when required. You will focus on things often forgotten in your everyday work – your well-being, your energy, your presence and your willingness to take a leading role. No emergency repairs with the risk of needing to repair yourself afterwards.

What is your outcome?

A clear vision of the future you wish to create and a proactive strategy that will bring you there.
Increased self-knowledge and the ability to choose a balanced reaction even under pressure.
Specific methods for handling opposition and navigating complexity.
A stronger personal grounding and a clear identity as a leader.
Dialogue, support, reflection in a trusted environment and concerning your specific reality.

Increase your grounding – and create direction in your change process

In the workshop we will take advantage of the Stifinder learning methods. We will use nature actively as a leaning environment in order to create calm and connection and opening new perspectives.

You will be working individually, in teams of two and in small groups with the other participants.

The learning environment will always be safe and trusting so that you can safely explore, open up and find out what really matters to you. Through dialogue, exercises and reflection you will discover the patterns that guide your actions, and you will be able to work consciously with your existing patterns of behaviour.

Strengthen your foundation - and create direction in change

After the workshop you will leave us with a clear understanding of the direction to follow, and you will be able to take the next steps with strength and calm. You will not be able to answer all questions in life, but you will have greater clarity, curiousness and faith in yourself and the choices you make. The actions you choose accordingly will define your leadership and influence your relations and your ability to make decisions based on a solid foundation.

The workshop is our invitation to you to stop and think in order to create clarity. Uncover what is really important and let that guide you. You will be able to make conscious choices, define clear priorities and be a present leader – both in calm waters and when seas are rough. And it will all make a great difference. Not just for you but also for your colleagues – and maybe for the people you love the most.
