Congruent Leadership Development Workshop


Virginia Satir was one of the inventors of family therapy in the U.S. and a founder of the humanistic psychology movement. Now her approaches are being adapted to help organizations as well. This workshop is designed to help leaders, managers, owners, consultants, trainers, and other change agents surface and work through the emotions that arise naturally in changing organizations. Participants will acquire dynamic new "mental models" for openness and communication, collaboration and conflict resolution, stress recognition, and empowerment.

What: At this experiential workshop, change agents will receive an introduction to the Satir System including seven basic concepts and techniques with broad applications for organizational and personal change: The Five Freedoms, Ingredients of an Interaction, Stress Stances, Congruence, Organizational Sculpting, the Satir Change Model, and Temperature Reading.

Participants will have the opportunity to experience each of the Satir models, and discuss how it can be used to enrich and extend their own ways of interacting as well as improve their current efforts in management training, team building, conflict resolution, and change management.

Why: The Satir System offers leaders and other change agents powerful new ways to understand basic organizational concepts as interpersonal communication, systemic influences, conflict resolution, and change management. It provides a behavioral model of the values of openness and honesty, as well as a way to honor, work with and transform defensiveness and resistance to change.

Much OD, management, leadership, and training work in recent years has been based on cognitive psychology, chaos theory, learning theory, business concepts, and behaviorism. Satir concepts and techniques provide a missing element in contemporary training and organizational development: access to the feeling side of organizational life, and ways to work with and through the feelings.

Virginia Satir was the founder of one of the foremost schools of family therapy. Her books People Making and Conjoint Family Therapy are two of the central texts of humanistic psychology. Since her death in 1988, her concepts and techniques have been shown to have broad application to training and consulting in organizations.
