This Full Day workshop focuses on roles - such as consultant, coach, mentor, manager, supervisor, or lecturer – which involve certain degrees of authority over others as we constantly navigate the precarious terrain between omnipotence and inadequacy / incompleteness when taking up roles and actively using them. These dynamics are co-created by both parties through the exchange of overt, subtle, and implicit messages (here all PA phenomena are at play - transference, counter-transference, projection, projective identification…). Such connections within relationships simultaneously bring destructive tension as well as excellent conditions for growth for both parties involved - in spiritual terms "there is no me without you". At the same time, the forced shifting of authority into the realm of the absolute authority of technology devalues authority in its hitherto known roles - so questions: „Who do you think you are to...?“ & „Who am I to...?“ are getting louder, and yet the blind is often leading the deaf.
This offers a playground for potential, if approached with curiosity and wonder. We offer a space and facilitation to explore what is meaningful and unexplored by:
"I know what I feel and I know what I see when I look at you." BUT WITHOUT YOU I DON'T KNOW
"What do you feel and What do you see when you look at me"
