Generative Change Audio Series
I developed this audio series as a comprehensive description and exploration of the Generative Change work that Robert Dilts and I have developed over the past several decades. It contains 4 basic parts of GC work—the 6-step model for creative change; multiple ways to develop the experiential COACH state needed for everything to work; an intensive exploration of the core competencies needed to do GC work; and a set of experiential applications. The audios have conceptual overviews and outlines, followed by experiential processes, usually completed by summary statements.
I am really happy with how this Generative Change work has been unfolding in many countries and cultures around the world. Often we go in and do some training, but then leave—even if the training is an extended certification. Also, there are many places we can’t get to directly. In order to develop one’s competencies and also benefit from the potential for personal transformation, we need further mediums and modalities. I created this intensive audio study program as a way for people to really go deeper into the work, both personally and professionally….and to make the work available to people everywhere.
In doing the work around the world, I am most impressed how the shared human being everywhere—the longings, excitements, hunger, generative unfolding—are deeper than any differences. Sometimes people ask if it’s difficult to teach in other countries. My answer is that it isn’t…once the work is happening, the differences yield to a deeper unity of human connection. It sort of feeling like different pieces find a common connection, and something awakens from that. I felt that in navigating this project, and it’s a rewarding feeling.
