The Immersion Level
Program centers around a 5-day intensive on-site program, in Tucson, Arizona.
This 5-day timeframe accomplishes numerous objectives simultaneously, providing
students with enough time to learn and practice multiple new approaches, while
also providing the time to reflect both individually and collectively on the
assumptions, expectations and belief systems the consultant will bring to
his/her work.
The program core is a
Learning Community, to ensure participants gain knowledge from both the
Institute staff and from each other. The on-site environment encourages
learning / practicing new skills together, discussing, exploring, reflecting
and sharing each others wisdom. Classes are limited to 10 participants -
small enough for intimate learning, while large enough for a diversity of
thinking.
The Learning Community
continues after the on-site work, through email discussions and/or other online
tools, to provide ongoing support for implementing more Community-Driven
approaches with clients.
The Immersion Level Program includes:
-
5 day intensive learning experience, on-site
in Tucson, Arizona
-
Workbook with handouts / worksheets for use
with clients
-
Post-session Conference Call 30 days after
the session, to answer questions, share experiences, and remove stumbling
blocks
-
Email discussion group before, during and
after the session, for ongoing Learning Community support. Institute staff
assists with questions / problems as participants begin applying new approaches
to their work with clients
-
Ongoing assistance by Institute staff for
clarifying / answering questions that arise as students begin transforming
their consulting practice
-
Additional technology tools, such as a wiki
or other on-line community, as requested by students and as developed.
