10 Jahre Austrian Solution Circle! Lösungsfokussierte Entwicklungen - In Vielfalt verbunden


4.-6. Oktober 2019 | SPES Hotel & SPES Zukunftsakademie | 4553 Schlierbach | Panoramaweg 1 | www.spes.co.at

Der Austrian Solution Circle wird 10! Zelebriere mit uns den Auftakt zur 10-Jahresfeier. Wir freuen uns sehr auf Dich!

2009 fand an der Personal Austria & Professional Learning mit der "Lösungsinsel" der allererste ASC-Auftritt statt, Barack Obama trat als erster afro-amerikanischer Präsident sein Amt an und die Gemeine Wegwarte wurde Blume des Jahres. Vieles hat sich in der Zwischenzeit getan, auf der Welt, in der lösungsfokussierten Praxis, im ASC, bei jeder und jedem von uns.

An der ASC-Jahrestagung 2019 feiern wir all unsere vielfältigen Entwicklungen und zelebrieren gemeinsam die Vielfalt und die Verbundenheit dank Lösungsfokus. Wir haben ein spannendes Programm für euch bereit - ein klarer Rahmen mit viel Freiraum für Austausch und neue Ideen: Neben einem Impuls-Workshop über aktuelle Trends in der lösungsfokussierten Welt am ersten Tag, erwarten uns ein Open Space-Rahmen, eine Sneak-Preview mit den Autor_innen unseres neuen ASC-Buches, die zeremonielle Verleihung der ASC Forschungsförderung, ein Einblick in die Nützlichkeit der aktuellen weltweiten Forschung für Deine Praxis und vieles mehr.

Hier geht es direkt zur Anmeldung: austriansolutioncircle.at/jahrestagung/

Fri 15thShow in Google map🇩🇪 Löfu-Konf 2019Design Offices München Atlas, Rosenheimer Str. 143C, 81671 München, Deutschland"Unser Thema in diesem Jahr: Ziele erreichen.

Wenn es um Unternehmensstrategien, um Teams oder Führungsfragen geht, haben wir die Erfahrung gemacht: Mit tiefschürfender Problem- oder Schwachstellenanalyse geht es nicht. Schweres wird dabei schwerer statt leichter. Also: Zuerst volle Konzentration auf die gewünschten Ergebnisse!

Mit der Löfu-Konf bieten wir Ihnen eine einmalige und inspirierende Plattform für Austausch, Impulse und Begegnung."

Mon 3rd to Sat 8th🇬🇧➡️🌐 SOL Summer Retreat 2020: Nourishing your SF roots to enable your SF Flourishing"The physical Retreat that was planned in South-East England can’t take place due to the current uncertain times, but we couldn’t bear the idea of not gathering in some way. So… we came up with the corona-proof plan to offer a world wide ‘individualised group Retreat’! 

The aim of the Retreat is: Nourishing your SF roots to enable your SF Flourishing

Imagine a time and place for you…

  • Where you can care for and nurture YOU - in whatever ways you feel would be most helpful during the Retreat period... 
  • Where you can take time to reflect on your SF practices - personal and professional - by yourself, supported by others...
  • Where you can make, renew, and strengthen your connections in the SF community - locally and globally

 

The expectations on those joining the Retreat remain the same: 

  • The focus is on creating a joyful, easeful environment for all to think, learn, share, play, take care of self and others; based our shared curiosity and belief in SF as a practical and useful methodology in work and in life.   
  • You come prepared to be as fully ‘present' throughout the Retreat as possible - create a ‘retreat bubble’.  Give yourself the gift of four whole undistracted days to focus on what is most nourishing for you and you alone as a person and a SF practitioner, as you would if you were away from home with the Retreat group.   
  • You are open to considering SF being discussed and used in ways that are very different to your own.  That is where some of the richest learnings lie…"
