Schedule - Dates & Details

Although I provide other training that draws on Spiral Dynamics, Dimensions of Temperament, Reciprocal Determinism and various NLP and sociological and psychological models and techniques, these programmes deliver Integrated SocioPsychology as a cohesive approach to gaining greater understanding of what makes human beings 'tick'. They also enable people - individually or in organisations - to deal with issues that would otherwise would prevent them attaining their goals.

To book programmes I am staging myself, click the blue Book! to be taken to an online booking form. My own ‘open’ programmes apply a discount to the 4th, 5th, etc, places booked by one person or organisation. Also be aware that I sometimes provide very handsome discounts for members of professional organisations with which I am associated - eg: British Psychological Society (BPS), Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD), etc. So it is worth considering the discount options when booking a course. Discounts are usually mutually exclusive.

To book programmes staged in partnership with other training providers, please use the contact details given.

For organisations, please note that all courses can be customised for in-house delivery, with what ever 'bolt-ons' are appropriate. For enquiries and queries, please get in touch via the details on the Contact page.

Training providers interested in hosting one or more of these programmes, both in the UK and abroad, are invited to contact me to discuss potential partnering arrangements.

The general nature of the applications and the broad mix of people attracted to these programmes make them especially beneficial for those who are interested in advancing their knowledge of the behavioural sciences, NLP and/or their own personal development.

Conflict Management - the Integrated SocioPsychology Approach (Taster)
The aim of this 1/2-day taster is to enable organisation decision-makers to get a feel of just what the 3-day version deals with and thus be in a position to decide whether to undertake the full programme. All aspects of the 4-day programme are touched upon but only some dealt with in detail. Participants will leave the session with an enhanced understanding of conflict and some tools for more effective management of it.

Diploma in Integrated SocioPsychology

This programme not only explores the models and concepts of Integrated SocioPsychology in depth and how they link together but also the science underpinning the theories. Participants will get to know the work of Clare W Graves, Don Beck & Chris Cowan, Don Beck & Ken Wilber, Robert Dilts, Hans J Eysenck, L Michael Hall, Susan Blackmore, Muzafer Sherif, Jean Piaget, Frederick Bartlett and Aaron Beck/Lyn Abramson, Martin Seligman & John Teasdale in some depth as well as referencing a host of other psychological and sociological researchers and theorists.

This course is for serious students of the behavioural sciences and participants should expect the work to be of at least A-Level standard. Whilst there is still much of the interactivity and practical focus of other Integrated SocioPsychology courses, this programme is intrinsically academic in nature. In addition to the 14-days training, an amount of pre-course and in-course reading will be necessary. There will be 1 assessed practical exercise and 2 assessed pieces of written work - 1 short piece of ‘homeplay’ during the course and a post-course essay. Participants will be required to demonstrate a minimum level of understanding and competence to achieve the Diploma.

For Education Professionals...an Introduction to Integrated SocioPsychology
Targeted at Head Teachers/Senior Management, Chairs of Governors and Children's Services Advisors, this workshop programme applies Integrated SocioPsychology to the many and complex relationships in school communities. It considers how motivational systems develop in children, affect their learning styles and and later influence adult relationships. It also takes into account the effects of natural temperament.
The aim of the programme is to enable leaders and managers to spot behavioural patterns at an early stage and to take steps to orient the motivations underpinning behaviour more to the interests of that individual and the school community as a whole.

Conflict Management - the Integrated SocioPsychology Approach

Matching the conflict management attributions of Spiral Dynamics co-developer Don Beck with the conflict modes identified by Robert Blake & Jane Mouton and Ken Thomas & Ralph Kilmann provides powerful insights into the roots and nature of different types of conflict and the kinds of management strategies most appropriate. The programme also considers the role of structural tensions inherent in most organisations as well as the impact of temperament on individuals. See Conflict Management for additional information.

Suitable for all involved in managing and supervising others.

For People Professionals...an Introduction to Integrated SocioPsychology
This challenging but highly-enjoyable interactive programme provides a detailed understanding of how motivational systems develop in people and influence both their temperament and their behaviour.

Participants will also have much more insight into what interventions will work best with whom, when - and how to design the most appropriate solutions..
Aimed at professionals and those with responsibility for managing and/or developing people of all ages. Particularly suitable for social workers, GPs, police officers, human resources managers, district nurses and health visitors, etc.

Integrated SocioPsychology for NLP Practitioners
Neuro-Linguistic Programming provides some incredibly powerful therapeutic tools and incorporates models which provide real insight, such as Neurological Levels and Meta-States. However, the range of models taught on most Practitioner and Master Practitioner courses takes the understanding of the human psyche only so far.
This course is for 'NLPers' who wish to develop their knowledge of human nature much further, so that they can use their NLP tools with much greater power and precision.
Commitment: 2 days, 9:00-5:00, with 40 minutes lunch break and 2 short coffee breaks. Start sharp; finish approximate.

Integrated SocioPsychology for Grandparents
Getting older and being retired - or even semi-retired! - can provide time and opportunity to learn and explore so many things not possible before. However, it can also be a time of real frustration as the world that once was theirs gets taken in different directions, their children don’t always reflect their own values and their beloved grandchildren can sometimes seem like aliens from outer space - their attitudes and behaviour are so different!

This course is for older people who wish to understand a little more about how and why the world, society and their own offspring are changing in the ways they are. Note: science is considered but at a fairly-accessible level.

Commitment: 2 days, 9:15-4:30, with 40 minutes lunch break and 2 short coffee breaks. Start sharp; finish approximate.

Knowing Me, Knowing You: Integrated SocioPsychology for Sustainable Relationships
The one that is fairly low on science but pretty high on application, this course is aimed at those who simply want to get a little more out of life and out of their relationships - partner, children, parents, friends, etc. Participants will gain a much greater understanding of why they and their relationships are like they are - and what they can do to improve things.
Couples wanting to improve their relationship and/or gain more understanding of parent-child issues will find these workshops particularly useful. Indeed some find it helpful to bring the in-laws/grandparents along!

Structuring Organisations for Success with Integrated SocioPsychology
How to structure an organisation for optimal effectiveness is a perennial subject in the business and management magazines, an ongoing debate in the chambers of commerce around the world and the topic of 1,001 books!
What makes this programme different is the use of highly-advanced organisational development maps by Ichak Adizes and Larry E Greiner, cross-related to sociopsychological tools such as 4Q/8L and the MeshWORKS concept. This provides a unique breadth and depth of understanding of the nature of organisational growth, peak and decline. With this level of insight, leaders can determine what is needed for their organisation to achieve or regain optimal effectiveness. These workshops include case studies and scenario planning.
Aimed at senior decision-makers and business advisers.
Commitment: 5 days, 9:00-5:00, with 40 minutes lunch break and 2 short coffee breaks. Start sharp; finish approximate.
Price: £ (£ + VAT) Includes course materials, refreshments & buffet lunch.
