Susanne auf dem Deutschen Management Radio

Mitte Juni 2011 hat Susanne einen Workshop über Coaching mit dem Ich-Entwicklung Profil in Berlin besucht. Er wurde von Thomas Binder - Berlin www.systemics.net - hervorragend geleitet. Herr Binder hat sich seit Jahren intensiv mit der Anwendung des Ich-Entwicklungstestes in Management Bereich beschäftigt und ein wirkungskräftiges Seminar entwickelt. Einer der anderen Teilnehmer, Ulrich Hinsen, ist zugleich ein erfahrener Reporter. hinsen@management-radio.de. Er hat eine sehr schöne und eindrucksvolle Darstellung des vier-tägigen Programmes produziert mit Bildern und mehreren kurzen Interviews. Das mit mir fand im Freien am Wannsee in Berlin statt, eine ganz besonders glücklich gewählter Ort um sich tiefgründig in einer stillen Landschaft mit Ich-Entwicklung zu befassen. Falls interessiert, hier finden sie den Link zum Radio Interview:  http://management-tv.podspot.de/post/managementtv-gibt-es-ein-leben-nach-25/

Susanne is a featured speaker in the Waking Up the Workplace Lecture Series. Additional details are available here.

Scoring Certification Program

In May 2011 we started a new 18-months Scoring Certification Program running two parallel international cohorts.  Exams are slated for November 2012. The selected participants are highly motivated and accomplished professionals.  I am pleased to announce that Dr. Barbara Braham and Beena Sharma are co-leading these intensives with me.  

2011 trainings:

Susanne taught the module on Language as a  Mirror of Meaning Making in Berlin April 16-17 ,  in German. The final modules in the German series will be held in Berlin on October 14-16  with half-a day on organizational applications and 2 days on coaching with a developmental focus. Applications are available from Deutsche Integrale Akademie.

Two different  LMF Workshops were  held in Australia in the spring:  The first in Sydney from March 22-27th 2011 covered all 4 modules for a LMF coaching certificate. The second  in Perth from April 4-7th, 2011 covered the introduction and the language module. The next workshop in Australia is scheduled for March 2012. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Maja Stanojevic-Andre.

We delivered the first 6-day intensive towards a LMF-Coaching Certification in the Boston Area in the fall of 2011.

Prior engagements:

Over New Year 2009, Susanne was teaching at the Integral Spiritual Experience Conference (Dec. 30, 2009 to Jan. 3, 2010). It had the Unique Self as the topic of exploration. She gave two overview presentations of Ego Development and the Unique Self. Many people at the lecture requested the colorful AQAL chart that prominently features Ego Development theory in the center of the chart that depicts all quadrants, all levels, all lines, all types, all states.

In the daily morning practice sessions, Susanne introduced others to Nature Mysticism through lecture, readings, story and contemplation assignments in the magnificent surroundings around Asilomar and its sea shore in Pacific Grove, California.  Click here to see the announcement for the 2010-2011 conference.

Nature mysticism: Susanne only recently realized that sharing her insight into nature was of supreme joy and importance to her. She always knew just how much the love of nature, studying and immersing herself in it has spurred her on her own path as a scientist. Making a likeness of anything one sees is a special form of giving total attention to an “other” and thus to savor its uniqueness. The deep awe, love and bliss that comes from exploring anything with total attention and care is what makes nature such a simple and ever available teacher and source of connection with spirit. A dust particle in the room lit up by a sunbeam. Watching whales cavort in the waters of Hawaii. Eating a raspberry with upmost reverence for its perfection in color, taste, shape, fragrance and texture! These are the joys available to anyone who so desires at any time, anywhere.

2009 An interview with Susanne Cook-Greuter has appeared in Trigon Themen. The title is Development Theories open new Perspectives. The interview is in German.

2009 was a busy year for teaching the DIP worldwide: We visited and led workshops in Sydney, Australia; Sao Paolo, Brazil; Moscow; Cologne; Cape Town, South Africa; and the USA.
