Course Outline
Geography gives a broad and practical approach to working with many of the functional structures of relationship. When we start to develop relationships — at work or in our personal lives — we create semi-permanent structures. This course explores how to recognise and nurture those structures.
The two primary components of the course are ‘Lands Work‘ and ‘Roles‘. In Lands Work participants develop an awareness of the diversity and differences that people add to a system, and how to proactively create from these differences, while flexing their empathetic abilities. Roles examines the distinction between the person and the many roles that can be occupied, consciously, intentionally and skillfully. By depersonalising the roles that exist in a system, we open up new possibilities for how those roles interact.
Diversity is a requirement for creativity — it provides the raw materials necessary for a dynamic yet stable relationship system capable of evolution. Yet differences, when not embraced, can also create confusion, misunderstandings and barriers to growth.
- “Why don’t you do things my way?”
- “Why don’t you value what I value?”
- “Why don’t you approach problems the way I do?”
- “Why can’t you be more like me?”
If you’ve ever worked with someone stuck in this kind of thinking, you will appreciate the simple and elegant tools this course provides for moving beyond this place.
Note: You must have completed ORSC Module 2: Intelligence to enrol on this course.
