  9. Start from disparity • Process together • End in unity • Think of a number between 1 and 10 • Double It • Add 10 • Divide by 2 • Subtract your original number • How many of you got the number 5? Do the Math

  10. Describe the person you love the most. Speak about a time when you experienced true joy. What was the most meaningful gift you were ever able to give? What pushes your buttons, gets your goat, causes you to react rather than respond? Building Healthy Relationships

  11. Building Healthy Relationships • What is the leader’s role in setting context and tone? • How would our meetings change if we began with focus on positives (e.g., Where have you experienced grace in the last week? Where have you offered grace to others?

  12. 4 Domains of Emotional Intelligence Self-awareness • Are you a boiling frog?

  13. 4 Domains of Emotional Intelligence Self-management • How well are you living the fruits of the Spirit?

  14. 4 Domains of Emotional Intelligence Do you suffer from leadership blindness? Social Awareness

  15. 4 Domains of Emotional Intelligence Relationship Management

  16. In the two film clips from Patch Adams : • What did you see? • What did you think? • What did you feel? • Consider what influences might be at work “off-screen.” (“Who did it to you?”) Framing & reframing (not defaming)

  17. Triangles (de-triangulation) ? TRIANGLE LAW: Any exchange between two people is NEVER just an exchange between two people.

  18. Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?” And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Then he told them a parable: Parable of the rich fool

  19. Triangles (de-triangulation) • W.D.J.D.? (What Did Jesus Do?) • Identify the triangle – man comes to Jesus (to deal with other brother). • “Unhook” from the triangle – Jesus doesn’t allow himself to be sucked in. • Use/establish position (“who made me a judge…?”) • De-triangle –Jesus told them** (the crowd/the brothers?) make what is secret known. • Reframe – Jesus warns against “all kinds of greed” (core issue). • Defuses – offers a parable to the brothers/crowd as a way out of the triangle.

  20. Triangles (de-triangulation) TRIANGLE LAW: We NEVER deal with just one triangle at a time.

  21. Triangles (de-triangulation) It’s actually something more like this!

  22. Going out to eat • “The pastor is destroying our church!” • The great theological divide • What triangles can you identify? • What suggestions do you have for de-triangling? • Where might reframing take place? • How might the players “de-fuse” by becoming aware of the triangles involved in their situation? Triangle role plays

  23. Separation from the drama of a situation is essential to effective emotionally intelligent leadership • In this scene from Dead Poet’s Society : • What makes separation difficult? What is the challenge for leaders? The process of becoming

  24. At least I'm moving forward. At least I'm moving forward. At least I'm moving forward. At least I'm moving forward... I stand before, a road that will lead, Into the unknown. At least unknown to me. I want to go, but I'm paralyzed with fear. Fear of a choice, where the outcome isn't clear. Moving Forward

  25. No, but still I go. And I take, the first step of a million more. And I'll make mistakes I've never made before. But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward. at least I'm moving forward... Moving Forward

  26. I wonder if, the journey will be, Short as I hope, or much longer than it seems. But either way, I've made up my mind. I'm through feeling scared, I'm leaving that behind. Moving Forward

  27. So, Now it's time to go. And I take, the first step of a million more. And I'll make mistakes I've never made before. But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward. at least I'm moving forward... Moving Forward

  28. And in awhile I’ll be singing, Na, nana nana, na nana nana… And I take, the first step of a million more. And I'll make mistakes I've never made before. But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward. at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward. Moving Forward

  29. Separation from the drama of a situation is essential to effective emotionally intelligent leadership • In this scene from Dead Poet’s Society: • The process of finding one’s voice is painful, threatening, disconcerting, unsettling… and necessary. How can we break the power and influence of conformity to find our voice? The process of becoming

  30. “The capacity of [an individual] to define . . . life goals and values apart from surrounding togetherness pressures, to say ‘I’ when others are demanding ‘you’ and ‘we.’ It includes the capacity to maintain a (relatively) non-anxious presence in the midst of anxious systems, to take maximum responsibility for one’s own destiny and emotional being. It can be measured somewhat by the breadth of one’s repertoire of responses when confronted with crisis. The concept should not be confused with autonomy or narcissism, however. Differentiation means the capacity to be an ‘I’ while remaining connected” (Generation to Generation, Edwin H. Friedman [NY: The Guilford Press, 1985] 27). Self-Differentiation

  31. The impact of environment, life situations, and power issues Dealing with conflict Entering and leaving Blame, boasting, or personal responsibility? Vulnerability and leadership Self-differentiation and You

  32. What was it in Jesus’ character that allowed him to respond with grace to all kinds of provocation? • Self-awareness • Staying connected and true to self • Non-anxious presence • Taking responsibility for emotional being • Attending to the vertical and horizontal dimentions of faith in community Self-differentiation and Jesus

  33. Self-awareness • Mark 11:27-33 Self-differentiation and Jesus By What Authority . . . ?

  37. Attending to vertical and horizontal aspects of being • John 14:1-14 Self-differentiation and Jesus

  38. How does your ideal self—the self God wants you to be—differ from your real self? Individual Action Learning

  39. How do you want to be remembered? What will be your legacy? Write your eulogy as you hope it will someday be written about you. Individual Action Learning

  40. Review your notes. What insights have you gained, what lessons have you learned about yourself and how you hope to live in the world? • How does your eulogy compare with • Your real self • The ideal self God wants you to be • The self-differentiation of Jesus • Your sense of social awareness and relationship management Individual Action Learning

  41. What will you do to bring attunement to your life? What will you do within 36 hours? How will you practice a goal in your home, church, work, family life? Who will you ask to help you stay accountable to your plan? How will you know you are making progress? Individual Learning agenda

  42. Group Action Learning “People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing. A leader’s job is to help people have vision of their potential.” John Porter What can we create together that is impossible on our own? • Where are we strongest together? • Where are our “gaps?” • What shared learning offers the greatest transformative potential? When “we” transcends “me”
