Systemic Modelling - Bootcamp with Caitlin Walker

What is this course? 

The Systemic Modelling Bootcamp will give you a complete framework and a large toolbox for encouraging teams to move from contempt towards curiosity and collaboration. And we use the process to teach the process so that you will be experiencing multi-level and collaborative learning at its best.

Regular in-depth and intensive training will enable you to develop competency in applying the principles that underpin Systemic Modelling. You will learn how to use clean questions and metaphor models to support a group to understand one another better and develop the skills and capability they need to collaborate meaningfully.

There’ll be skill-building exercises to stretch your attention and develop your confidence and in-the-moment coaching to ensure you’re competent. You’ll be delivering group processes live to fellow participants and offering and receiving feedback from trainers and peers. This Bootcamp is fun, full-on and focused.

The models and skills that make up Systemic Modelling include clean questions; developing personal metaphors; group modelling; becoming #DramaFree; pattern detection; tracking patterns in the group dynamic; developing your modelling state. There’ll also be plenty of opportunities to discuss applications and how you’ll implement your learning.

What will you learn? 

• Learn how to ask David Grove’s clean questions to develop your ideas and those of others.

• Unpack models for decision-making, time-management and learning at your best’ – discover your unconscious patterns.

• Identify when you need to be in a better state for learning & creativity.

• Detect the judgments you make about others, separate these from actual behaviours and use this information to master the art of Clean Feedback.

• Become more aware of what needs to happen to stay in a good learning state - and what compromises you may have to make to ensure others can stay in theirs.

• Design developmental tasks - tiny actions that can make a big difference as you step outside your comfort zone

• Find out what happens as people’s patterns emerge and when their values are compromised – this is when the tools come into their own.

• Learn what triggers you to go into drama, what drama position(s) you tend to take - and how you can use this information to recognise what’s important to you.

• Learn how to use the Clean Change Cycle (outcome, action, feedback) to coach someone off the Drama Triangle.

• Whether you work with individuals or teams, gain multiple ideas for facilitating others.

• Learn how systemic Modelling is used in business, education, health, community and agile coaching.

What's the value of the Systemic Modelling Bootcamp

• An understanding of the role that language, especially metaphor, plays in-group thinking and how you can utilise that to create profound, sustainable change

• The ability to detect when drama is happening within a group and the skills you need to unpack the drama and move beyond it

• The opportunity to be part of a supportive peer group where everyone is working together to master the art of Systemic Modelling

• Continuous professional development as you get feedback on your work and use that to develop unique tasks that help you grow into your role as a group facilitator

• A Learning Log that will take you, step by step, through the learning process – with space for you to record examples and note achievements – as you work towards your Systemic Modelling Foundation and Professional certificates.
