The principles of shadow work and self-created narratives can be applied to teams and organizations. Whether it is working with employees and team members in individual sessions to break through narrative patterning and places where personal and interpersonal blockages occur, or facilitating group personal and professional development workshops on the way our narratives interact and interconnect causing stress and unnecessary drama, or by consulting with the leadership team on ways to better understand the macrocosmic and microcosmic stories happening that are getting in the way of the groups’s goals, I can help.
Unstorying helps an organization become more attentive to the needs of its community members in a meaningful way. It is a tool for creating more authentic relationships within any community, team, or organizational environment, as well as in the participants’ personal life. This process, which uses personal storytelling and myth, journaling, mindfulness, Jungian psychology concepts, addresses how we understand the patterns of how and why we interact, with an emphasis on empathy and the stories we believe about ourselves, and each other. This leads to a deeper understanding of the dynamics we find ourselves in so that we can respond rather than react. We can then choose to respond with honesty and clarity, even in the most trying of circumstances.
Workshops and programs can also be developed on such topics as: interpersonal dynamics, communication skills and strategies, imposter syndrome, conflict resolution, organizational storytelling; and a roadmap to healthier working relationships between and among leadership, teams, and all stakeholders.
