LEADERSHIP & MASCULINE ARCH
MIGUEL GUILARTE
GEN-P501-1
07/13/2017
Thursday 09:30AM - 12:00PM
Leadership and Masculine Archetypes
From ancient prophets, priests, judges, shamans, philosophers, to Native American, civil rights, corporate, and political
leaders we find a spectrum of leadership types that represent idealizations of what it means to be a leader in different ways.
We explore how these archetypes are gendered in various ways and how our contemporary challenges may learn from them
or need to find new forms and archetypes for the future, with special focus on men's development.
LOOK BEYOND, BRING IT TOGETHER
GEN-R201-2
RICHARD APPELBAUM / FREDERICK STEIER / DAVID WILLIS
07/13/2017
Thursday 09:30AM - 12:00PM
Look Beyond, Bring it Together: Building bridges across disciplines and research at Fielding
While Fielding’s program is interdisciplinary, research is also specialized, and doctoral studies are increasingly associated with
concentrations that can make our work more separate. Join this session to consider the larger systems (e.g, economic, social,
political, environmental) in which our work takes place, and discuss ways they connect. Prompted by discussions related to
the Leadership for Social and Ecological Sustainability concentration, this interactive session is designed to find points of
connection and relevance throughout our Fielding community. Students can bring fledgling ideas for KAs and concept papers
or well-tooled dissertation proposals to share. The workshop will use a fishbowl design and invite inputs from faculty, alumni,
and students. We hope to involve additional faculty from a number of leadership study areas and concentrations, and will be
reaching out them, for example Annabelle Nelson, Katrina Rogers, Tojo Thatchenkery, and more.]

Dorothy Agger-Gupta, and members of the GTD Circle (Alumni Don Khouri, Susan Miele, Dohrea Bardell, Holly Bardutz and
students Sam Jama, Trevor Mabry)
You are invited to participate in this interactive session designed to help you stay connected, thrive in your studies,
accomplish quality doctoral work, and get things done. We will share and discuss a wide variety of strategies, ways to keep
connected, tips, support networks, best practices, and alternate metaphors that SLS alumni and students have used for their
doctoral journeys.
There are different ways to develop doctoral competencies, move forward when stuck, thrive with feedback (mostly), make
wise use of Fielding’s resources and policies, recognize your own self-worth as a scholar and practitioner, and practice
alternate metaphors for your ways of knowing yourself and others
The session will include ways to integrate your studies with your workplace, reflect on your personal experiences to explore
new options, and create approaches to developing your dissertation question that is uniquely suited to your interests,
strengths, and resources. Several members of the GTD Circle will join us. They met at their NSO, developed a strategy to
support each other, and made a commitment to stay connected on a daily basis, throughout their doctoral studies.

ALUMNI COLLECTIVE: RE-IMAGINING OUR PUBLIC SPACE: QUESTIONING WITH HUMANNESS AND
GENEROSITY
ALU-I730-1
KIMBERLY PEARCE, MA, PRESIDENT, THE CMM INSTITUTE JAN ELLIOTT, PHD (HOD 1997), ILENE
WASSERMAN, PHD (HOD 2004), ROMI BOUCHER, PHD (HOD 2014), BARTON BUECHNER, PHD
(HOD 2014)
07/13/2017
Thursday 09:30AM - 12:00PM
The CMM institute for personal and social evolution hosts a Fielding community conversation about asking our “big
questions” in ways that communicate an openness to connecting around our shared humanity and desire for community.
This session will explore how our questions determine what gets our attention, what gets made and what we talk
about. Given what is happening with communication in public spheres in many countries today, we will lead a session on how
we personally can help to change this for the better.
Our dialogue will focus on the place and power of questions that matter, especially in these challenging times where we don't
hear questions infused with humanness and generosity. All "sides" are guilty of not asking these kinds of questions that invite
stories about our humanness and that help create greater understanding- and possibly even a caring for - the "other.” We
envision a community conversation that matters, guided by principles of “circular questioning” and CMM heuristics to help
uncover the assumed and possible meaning(s) behind our questions and the importance of how we ask them. We know that
we are living in times in which our social contexts may be challenging to our deeply-held principles and values. CMM Institute
presenters will lead the dialogue, drawing on stories from the Institute’s Fellows program, Learning Exchanges, International
partnerships, and other initiatives of the institute and its members that support the emergence of “better social worlds.”
The CMM Institute for Personal and Social Evolution is a community of scholarship and practice around the Coordinated
Management of Meaning (CMM) theory by the late Fielding Professor Emeritus, W. Barnett Pearce and his colleagues. We
extend a welcome to those interested in exploring this theory as part of their dissertation work, and as an introduction to the
many ways that this body of theory has been used in practice, and impacted both the practice and the personal lives of those
who have learned to embody it.
The CMM Fellows Program is a partnership with several other institutions with allied goals, including Fielding Graduate
University, and the Advanced Consortium on Cooperation, Conflict, and Complexity (AC4) at Columbia University. Work of
past and current fellows may be presented as examples to engage discussions with related interests of all students and
alumni present.
ARCHETYPAL IMAGERY
GEN-S401-10
ANNABELLE NELSON / SUSAN WYATT
07/13/2017
Thursday 01:00PM - 03:30PM
Archetypal Imagery: Experience Your Spirit Self
Join an experiential session of Archetypal Imagery with storytelling, art, movement and meditation. Learn the wise-bodymind model of opening the unconscious, releasing emotions and becoming attuned to insight to the Spirit Self gleaned from
Carl Jung, Humanistic Theory and Brain Physiology. An archetype is a recognizable collection of characteristics like a type of
personality (hero) or a symbol (like a peace sign), in other words, it is an energy pattern of how to be. Humans naturally
identify with archetypes to organize their personality. The ego lends stability, but also shuts off contact with the Spiritual Self
in the unconscious. However, the ego enjoys identifying with an archetype, so relaxes when visualizing an archetype, and lets
the unconscious open. Visualizing a current difficult emotional situation, finding the feeling in the body, and then visualizing
how the archetype will help, will release negative patterns. Imagery can be fun and playful, motivating clients for change.
Participants experiencing Archetypal Imagery techniques can use these for coaching, teaching or therapy, and can use this
experience as a launch for HOD 852 Spiritual Psychology.

APPRECIATIVE INTELLIGENCE
TOJO THATCHENKERY
GEN-S401-16
07/13/2017
Thursday 01:00PM - 03:30PM
Appreciative Intelligence® and Use of Self
Appreciative Intelligence® is the ability to reframe a given situation to recognize the positive possibilities embedded in it, and
to engage in the necessary actions so that the desired outcomes may unfold from the generative aspects of the current
situation (www.appreciativeintelligence.com). Appreciative intelligence has three components: reframing, appreciating the
positive, and seeing how the future unfolds from the present. The “Use of Self” model, developed by late Charlie Seashore is
integral for sustaining the capacity for reframing and seeing the positive. The seminar will provide students with the practical
tools necessary to enhance their use of self and Appreciative Intelligence®.

NAVIGATING REAL WORLD COMPLEXITY: THE NEW CURRENCY OF SUCCESSFUL LEADERSHIP
CYNTHIA CAVALLI, PHD (HOD 2014)
ALU-I730-2
07/13/2017
Thursday 01:00PM - 03:30PM
The complexity of knowledge and work in today’s organizations requires a radically different currency of leadership than the
top down power structures of previous authoritarian management approaches. Advances in technology and social media
have democratized access to information and knowledge, rendering older command and control models of management
ineffective and even damaging to competitive position.
This presentation is based on a combination of organizational complexity theory and the theory of personality described in
the Jungian psychological framework. The focus in this workshop is to identify the qualities of personality best suited to
successfully navigate real world complexity.

Perhaps the most critical core competency required for any leader, especially those in complex environments, is selfknowledge. Such leaders also do best when they possess inner security of being/personality – in other words, they are not
easily threatened by others.
Also important is a basic understanding or sense of the complex nature of reality that underlies our world and relationships
with each other, including network effects, and how multiplicity and non-linearity compound initial actions to create
unintended consequences.
The workshop will begin with definitions of basic complexity terms and concepts, followed by discussion of the main
characteristics of complexity as manifested in organizations. Emphasis will be placed on the critical roles played by
uncertainty and emergence. Examples and stories will be used to illustrate and elucidate these concepts.
The second part of the session will focus on the characteristics of personality that best align with and support the dynamic
nature of organizational complexity. This discussion will begin with a review of the basic structure of personality from a
Jungian perspective and include descriptions and examples of the mythological and archetypal figures that characterize
development of the personality such as shadow, persona, anima/animus, self, etc. Participants will then be given time to
reflect and identify characters from personal dreams, life stories, and their own inner development process in order to apply
these concepts and framework to their lived experience.
This workshop is for anyone who deals with organizational complexity or facilitates leadership development and seeks a
systems approach to understanding the personality dynamics within human organizations.

07/13/2017
Thursday 04:00PM - 06:00PM
Concentration: Sustainability
This session will introduce students to the LSES concentration. LSES ties in concepts of social and ecological sustainability with
organizational culture. It will focus on the systemic interrelations between such organizational capabilities as leadership,
organizational culture, organizational change, and sustainability strategies. The focus of the knowledge area will be to
integrate theoretical and practical understandings of organization strategy, leadership, and execution, emphasizing the
importance of inclusive leadership. It will rely heavily on case studies to illustrate successes, failures, and the understanding
that results from both. This knowledge area is addressed to those charged with the organizational implementation of social
and ecological sustainability knowledge and practice. This includes not only sustainability professionals, but the senior leaders
and top managers of business, non-profit (NGO), educational, and government organizations.

Analyzing Qualitative Data
In this seminar, we will examine some of the many ways in which qualitative data can be analyzed in your research studies.
Qualitative data analysis (QDA) can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Data may be counted, organized into themes, be
the basis of generating theory, or merely proving a detailed analysis of some event. Data can be analyzed by what is there,
what is missing, or both. It may be generated in a deductive format or in an inductive one. You may be looking to verify an
hypothesis or explore what is going on in a complex system. All this and more will be covered in this seminar.

In this assumption-challenging, interactive workshop, we invite all participants to engage in critical conversation where there
is freedom to challenge assumptions, promote differing perspectives, and learn from those with whom we may disagree.
Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden would have remained Hidden Figures were it not
for Margot Lee Shetterly’s (2016) book and the subsequent award-winning film. How different the media representation is of
Yahoo's CEO, Melissa Mayers, who remains in the headlines she receives $23 million as part of her "golden parachute"
agreement with Yahoo. How little we know of women world-wide who are working for a better world, yet are rarely
represented in media.
All who pre-register are encouraged to contribute a brief presentation on examples of women’s leadership that challenges us
to consider alternate views and new possibilities of women’s leadership in science, organizations, and social change.
As we conclude the session, we will consider the interest in forming an SLS research initiative on these emerging issues.

7 Rhythms of Rest & Renewal: An Experiential Workshop for Leaders
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! This experiential workshop is a journey to explore 7 rhythms of rest and renewal for leaders.
Life Demands. Workplace stress. Caregiving for loved ones. Professional Ambitions. All these can leave one defeated and
exhausted. Through storytelling, reflection, and creative exercises, leaders increase awareness on how to build in healthy
rhythms.
This experiential workshop helps leaders improve personal awareness, increase work-life balance, and achieve more
productive results. The certified facilitator will guide the participants through a journey using proven diagnostic tools to help
leaders explore the following questions:
• What can holistic health look like?
• What is my own life story about rest?
• What are the challenges in building restful rhythms?
• What are key strategies for a more rested life?
• What perspective have I gained?

• How can I create a Rest & Renewal Plan?
Miller et al. (2011) outlined the significant need for holistic learning across the lifespan. “Holistic education attempts to
nurture the development of the whole person. This includes the intellectual, emotional, physical, social, aesthetic, and
spiritual” (p. 2). Some of the key features of holistic learning includes (a) transdisciplinary approach, (b) paradigm of
complexity, (c) framework for multiple intelligences, (d) dynamic, robust curriculum, (e) communities of learning, and (f)
focus on the learner learning, not the teacher teaching. This learning requires keenness to the assets and needs of the whole
while differentiating to become more uniquely oneself (high levels of differentiation). This learning emphasizes resilience and
sustainability through times of chaos, turbulence, growth, and change. This learning also lends to ongoing life and spiritual
actualization. Holistic learning is desperately needed in formal settings for leaders across the lifespan.
This experiential workshop emphasizes this type of holistic learning. Through storytelling, reflective activities, and a series of
creative exercise, leaders will assess the health of their own lives and create Rest & Renewal Plan. This workshop will
highlight how to navigate well the demands and pressures of life using 7 strategies or rhythms of rest & renewal. The
workshop will highlight a holistic framework that continues to be utilized by the certified facilitator with leaders in diverse
settings. Participants will receive a workbook to capture learnings.

Understanding the IRB
This hour presentation will help you understand the Institutional Research Board (IRB) process. All students who are going to
use data for published research, including the pilot or dissertation research, must submit to the IRB even when using
anonymous survey or archival data , even though there are different procedures for submitting depending on the type of
data collected. It is recommended that students submit at least 3 months before the anticipated collection of either pilot or
dissertation data. The target audience are students finishing their coursework and beginning to plan their dissertation
research. We will review the IRB structure at the Fielding Graduate University, and talk through the time frames, informed
consent, institutional permissions, Human Subject Protection Study (CITI), and the application itself and my.fielding on-line
resources. It is not designed to discuss specific research designs, or appropriate for beginning students.
