SUMMARY:Bridging Polarities - Bonus Event
DESCRIPTION:Bridging Polarities\nOn June 17 we had a rich and powerful session with Barry and Cliff\, to help your development process by improving the speed\, attainability and sustainability by leveraging polarity tensions within and between IDGs and SDGs.\nMany of you asked for more\, and we are happy to say: YES! There will be a bonus session with focus on application!\nYou are welcome to join this session even if you missed the first session. You will get access to it once you register.\nAbout the event\nSince 1975\, Barry Johnson has been pioneering the theory and practice of polarities—interdependent pairs that require thinking/acting in “Both/And” to be effective in inner and outer development\, over time. His recent book\, “And: How to Leverage Polarity\, Paradox\, and Dilemma\, Volume 1 – Foundations”\, offers a transformative lens for understanding how polarities operate in human systems—and how to harness their power in practice. \nIn this session\, Barry Johnson and Cliff Kayser (IDG Ambassador\, Aconcagua Cohort) will guide participants through a dynamic introduction to polarity thinking. You’ll gain essential awareness and tools to better embrace polarity tensions—both individually and collectively—as a way to bridge the gap between today’s complex challenges and the future we aspire to create. \nTogether\, we’ll explore why we get stuck\, and how we can move forward with greater wisdom\, agility\, and impact. This session will deepen your existing polarity wisdom and accelerate your capacity to hold complexity with compassion\, cultivate resilience\, and align inner development with systemic transformation. You’ll leave better equipped to contribute to the advancement of both the IDG’s and SDGs. \n  \nAbout the speakers\nDr. Barry Johnson is the creator of the Polarity Map® and a pioneer in Polarity Thinking®\, a framework that helps leaders and organizations navigate complex\, interdependent challenges. Since developing the first Polarity Map® in 1975\, he has worked globally to promote “both/and”; thinking over traditional “either/or”; approaches\, enhancing decision-making and organizational effectiveness. \nAs Chairman of Polarity Partnerships\, Dr. Johnson has introduced the Polarity Approach to Continuity and Transformation (PACT™)\, a methodology that includes tools like the Polarity Assessment™ to help organizations leverage polarities essential to their success. \nHe is the author of several influential books\, including Polarity Management: Identifying and Managing Unsolvable Problems and the two-volume series And: Making a Difference by Leveraging Polarity\, Paradox or Dilemma \nDr. Johnson holds a Ph.D. in organization development and has extensive training from the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. His work is widely applied across sectors such as business\, government\, education\, and healthcare. \n  \nCliff Kayser is a seasoned leadership coach\, organizational consultant\, and thought leader based in Washington\, D.C.\, with deep expertise in values-based leadership and polarity thinking. He serves as Chief Learning Officer at Polarity Partnerships and is the founder of both the Polarities of Democracy Institute and Xperience\, LLC—organizations dedicated to helping leaders and institutions navigate complex challenges through the power of both/and thinking. \nCliff’s approach integrates Eastern wisdom traditions with contemporary leadership science\, blending philosophical insight with practical tools for performance measurement and organizational change. From his “happy place”—a 40-acre mountain retreat in Berkeley Springs\, West Virginia—he hosts and facilitates purpose-driven dialogues and renewal-focused retreats. \nIn 2024\, Cliff was named an Ambassador for the Inner Development Goals (Aconcagua Cohort)\, a global\, open-source initiative supporting the cultivation of inner capacities essential to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—and advancing human flourishing on a healthy planet. \nCliff is an adjunct faculty at George Mason’s Center for the Advancement of Well-Being’s “Leadership Coaching for Organizational Well-Being” program and American University’s “KEY Executive Leadership” program. \nLearn more here!

SUMMARY:AI Through a Polarity Lens: Coach\, Client\, and Workforce
DESCRIPTION:In today’s rapidly evolving landscape\, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping every facet of work\, relationships\, and for some — even the understanding of what it means to be human. For executive coaches\, this technological surge presents both exciting opportunities and significant challenges. Developed exclusively for ACTO\, this session will help you navigate challenges and opportunities of AI\, while staying true to the human-centric principles that form the cornerstone of effective coaching. \nThis session will use the lens of Polarity Thinking\, an approach to leveraging interdependent tensions that all of us humans experience – and have potential to leverage. For your coaching practice and client outcomes\, exploring some key polarities that underlie the AI frontier will help harness the benefits of AI (such as increased efficiency and data-driven insights)\, while at the same time safeguarding against AI’s inherent biases and massive potential to compromise ethics\, on-scale. \nAs executive coaches\, we’re uniquely positioned to lead in the transformation of organizational cultures as AI tools become more prevalent. So\, this session directly aligns with the mission and vision of ACTO by addressing how AI is impacting the practice of coaching and the broader workforce. Together\, we’ll explore practical strategies for engaging clients in conversations about AI’s impact\, preparing them to navigate the evolving work environment\, and addressing issues related to bias\, ethics\, and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI). We’ll embrace the hyper-paced advancements of AI while championing enduring values of coaching. Together\, we’ll ensure that as AI continues to transform workplaces\, we’ll be fully present\, visionary\, and deeply human. \nAnd the best part may be the gift of presence we provide in 90-minutes to one another in these uniquely challenging times — a “small island of coherence in a sea of chaos” (Ilya Prigogine). \nFor 90-minutes JOIN US on “coherence island” to explore how we Coaches can best support shaping human betterment in the age of AI. \nTake-aways include: \n\nStrategies to face difficult questions for both Coach and Client\, head-on\nA framework to support the Coach and Client amid extraordinary change

SUMMARY:AI Coaches? Unpacking Human/AI Coaching for Coaches & the Coaching Profession
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Cliff Kayser\, PCC\nLearning strand: AI & Coaching\nProgram Description: \nHow will the growing availability of AI-driven Coaches revolutionize and upend the coaching profession? As a Human Coach\, how will you survive and thrive in a world in which the availability of AI Coaches provides 24/7 availability\, personalized feedback\, and tailored data-driven resources analysis and options for moving forward in real-time? \nIn this interactive session\, Human Coach participants will unpack some critical considerations present now and\, in the future\, using the Polarity Approach and Polarity Map® to unpack and design strategies to leverage the challenges\, and opportunities. There’s good news and bad news about this session – and let’s get the bad news out of way first. \nThe BAD NEWS: This session won’t alleviate the tension for us Human Coaches who might be feeling threatened by the prospects of the reality of AI Coaches entering the Human coaching profession space and any hope they won’t ever have to confront the issue\, because the issue isn’t going away now or in the future. Now on to the GOOD NEWS! \nThe session will provide a safe space for Human Coach participants (no AI Coaches will be in attendance!) to confront values and fears that may be present for them in the tension — head-on.  By confronting brutal facts and reality/ies\, participants can explore what an embrace for challenges looks like and perhaps even create some excitement about the opportunities and possibilities to best support client growth and development. At least\, participants will share an experience together that applies a powerful Human Coaching tool and process — the Polarity Map® and Polarity Approach (the 5-Steps of “S.M.A.L.L.” Seeing\, Mapping\, Assessing\, Learning\, and Leveraging) for this real-time and real-world issue.  Outcomes include seeing a more complete view of the realities and possibilities for client growth and development outside an “Either/Or” mindset\, leveraging our Human – intelligence and being. tiific \nLearning Objectives: \n\nlearn/apply the Polarity Approach (the 5-step “S.M.A.L.L.” Process: Seeing\, Mapping\, Assessing\, Learning\, and Leveraging) for the polarity of: AI Coach and Human Coach\nexplore Stability and Change in the context of designing and developing of leveraging strategies\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Leveraging Technically Unsolvable Interdependencies to Accelerate Client Goal Achievement
DESCRIPTION:Leveraging Technically Unsolvable Interdependencies to Accelerate Client Goal Achievement \n “I believe the central leadership attribute is the ability to manage polarity.”\nPeter Koestenbaum\, Leadership\, New and Revised: The Inner Side of Greatness\, A Philosophy for Leaders \n“If your organization strategy does not account for polarity\, then it is not strategic.” \nBob DeWitt and Ron Meyer\, Strategy Synthesis \nIn 1967\, Churchman distinguished “Wicked Problems” from rationally solvable problems. In 1992\, Johnson discussed unsolvable problems or “polarities” and how to identify and manage them. In 1994\, Heifetz distinguished Technical (solvable) problems from Adaptive Challenges. Underlying these and other theories pointing the technically/rationally unsolvable (i.e.\, paradox\, dilemma\, tensions) is the phenomenon of interdependence. \nAll leaders\, teams\, and organizational systems leverage interdependence — more or less well. \nThis session explores interdependency as the central “meta-theory” underpinning all development work with leaders\, teams\, and organizations – and HOW we as OD Practitioners can faster support seeing and leveraging interdependencies to improve the speed\, attainability\, and sustainability of client’s desired future state. \n“A visionary organization doesn’t seek balance between short-term and long-term\, for example: it seeks to do well in the short-term and in the long-term. A visionary organization doesn’t simply balance between idealism and profitability: it seeks to be highly idealistic and highly profitable. A visionary organization doesn’t simply balance between preserving a tightly held core ideology and stimulating vigorous change and movement; it does both to an extreme. In short\, a visionary organization doesn’t want to blend yin and yang into a grey\, indistinguishable circle that is neither highly yin nor highly yang; it aims to be distinctly yin and distinctly yang — both at the same time\, all the time.” \nJim Collins\, from Good-to-Great \n  \n \nCliff Kayser\, MSOD\, MSHR\, PCC \nChief Learning Officer\, Polarity Partnerships\, LLC\nWashington\, D.C. \nCliff is a thought leader\, organization development practitioner\, executive leadership coach\, and facilitator/speaker who works worldwide to support leaders\, teams\, and organizations to supplement either/or thinking with both/and “Polarity Thinking” to enhance the quality of life on the planet\, for everyone. Additionally\, he is an adjunct faculty American University’s “KEY Executive Leadership” Program\, George Mason University’s “Leadership Coaching for Organizational Well-Being” Coach Training Program\, and has served as the Dean of the 2-year Mastery Program in Polarity Thinking since 2014. \nBefore joining Polarity Partnerships\, Cliff was President of Xperience\, LLC – an integrated solutions coaching/consulting firm he founded that includes “Kayser Ridge” a retreat and learning Center he built on a 40-acre plot of mountain land in Berkeley Springs\, West Virginia (2-hours from Washington\, D.C.). Prior to this\, Cliff was VP of Organizational Development for The National Cooperative Bank spending nearly a decade serving The Washington Post newspaper as Senior Organization Development Consultant and corporate office of The Washington Post Company as head of Human Resources and Training. \nCliff holds Masters Degrees in Organizational Development and Human Resources Management from American University and he completed his Certification Executive Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University. He holds a PCC (Professional Certified Coach) designation from the International Coaching Federation. \nCliff is an avid mountain-biker and intrepid traveler who integrates his 35 years of Tai Chi practice and appreciation of Eastern thought into his Polarity Thinking programs.

SUMMARY:Introduction to ​Polarity Thinking™  Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A joint program between Polarity Partnerships\, LLC and the Leadership Forum\, Inc.\n\n\nThe Leadership Forum Community and Polarity Partnerships are offering an Introduction to Polarity Thinking™ Workshop. This is a 4-hour virtual experience for those interested in deepening their understanding of Polarity Thinking™. The class will be conducted by Polarity Partnerships and will include participation in a polarities assessment. This class is limited to 20 participants so register now to reserve your seat. Check Date and Registration Options Below. \nDuring the 2021 Summit\, Polarity Partnerships provided a glimpse into the value of the Polarity Thinking™ to supplement Or-thinking with And-thinking when appropriate. This short session created a vision into how these tools and concepts can be used to help build understanding for decisions that have “and” options. The beauty is that it surfaces perspectives that perhaps haven’t been considered or fully understood\, leading to better decision making and openness to change as part of Conscious Leadership. \nUpon completion each participant will receive a free Individual Practitioner License for 6 months from Polarity Partnerships (a $125 value). This license gives consultants\, coaches\, internal trainers and professional advisors use of the Polarity Map® & Principles and the resources on the Polarity Resource Portal (excludes the ability to create Polarity Assessments™).

SUMMARY:LEVERAGE POLARITIES FOR CAREER AND LEADERSHIP SUCCESS
DESCRIPTION:By: Cliff Kayser\, VP\, Mastery and Coaching Programs\, Polarity Partnerships and Barry Johnson\, Founding Partner\, Chairman & Creator of The Polarity Map® \, Polarity Partnerships \nPolarities are energy pairs we can leverage to achieve our preferred future faster with greater sustainability. They often show up as tough decisions or tensions: Should we centralize for system integration or decentralize to support entrepreneurial initiative? Should we preserve our core traditions or go after innovation? Also\, leadership polarities live within us: Should we be clear or flexible? Should we be grounded or visionary? \nWith polarities\, the answer is that we need both. To be effective with polarities\, we need to use “AND” in our thinking. We need to leverage the benefits of centralization AND decentralization. When we use “OR” thinking to “solve” a polarity\, we get in trouble. We are less likely to achieve the results we want. If we do get those results\, it will be slower than necessary and will not be sustainable. \nPolarities are unavoidable\, unsolvable\, indestructible\, and unstoppable. This set of realities could be a bit troublesome except for two other realities of all polarities—they are free and can be leveraged. \nIn this session\, you will learn:\n• How to leverage or-thinking and and-thinking\n• The five-step: seeing\, mapping\, assessing\, learning\, and leveraging\n• How to map a polarity using the Polarity Map.\n• About and experience individual and system level assessment using the Polarity Assessment \n  \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:SPIRIT IN THE POLARITY: Duality\, Interdependence\, and Oneness
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a 4-Evening Workshop meeting on Tuesdays\nDates:\n4 Tuesday Evenings\, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EST\nNovember 9\, 16\, 30\, and December 7\, 2021 \nAvailable by: Join by Videoconference or Watch Online Recordings (learn more about videoconference)\nPrice: General Public: $100.00 | One Spirit Graduates: $ 90.00\nOne Spirit Elective Credit: 1.0 \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nAction Or Contemplation? Accountability Or Unconditional Love? Continuity Or Transformation? When “Or” thinking is misapplied when And-thinking is required\, the result is disunity and unnecessary suffering from polarization and chronic dysfunction. Applying “And” thinking to these and other interdependent pairs or “polarity” tensions (aka paradox or dilemma) creates a shift from intractable battles to an invitation to the dance in the interdependency. And-thinking has been used and celebrated the world over for helping businesses\, governments\, schools\, congregations\, and communities address the complexity of interdependency by supplementing “Or” thinking with “And-thinking\,” when And is required. Many spiritual and wisdom traditions describe these “And-dances” of interdependent Unity in the One Spirit\, which is also pervasive in nature. Rumi writes\, \nYour hand opens and closes\, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open\, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding\, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds’ wings. \nThis interactive course was designed for the One Spirit community by two pioneers in the field. They will explore the spiritual nature of polarities with you and how to apply your learning in a variety of interspiritual contexts. \nParticipants in this course will: \n\n\nIncrease capacity to love and serve by learning how Polarity Thinking transforms tensions into preferred futures \n\n\nApply the basics of the Polarity approach to deepen and broaden your understanding of interdependence\, interconnectedness\, and Oneness \n\n\nExplore polarities present in major spiritual and wisdom traditions \n\n\nReceive 1-year access to the Polarity Resource Portal that will support the application of your learning during and after the course

SUMMARY:Leadership Forum 2021 Summit: Leading to Repair - "And"\, The Grace Between Right or Wrong
DESCRIPTION:“And”\, The Grace Between Right or Wrong\nHow can Polarity Thinking help heal a community or organization?\nCliff Kayser MSOD\, MSHR\, PCC\nChandra Irvin\, M.Ed.\, MDIV\nMargaret Seidler\, MPA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn about the power of “AND.” Participants leave the session invigorated with a renewed sense of empowerment and hope for a better future in our communities and workplaces. They begin to see the possibilities of the influential roles they can play going forward using a polarity lens. Participants surface their issues of interest\, where finding common ground\, in spite of differences\, can reverse the energy of resistance and polarization. \nThis session will focus on a case study on Polarity Thinking in the Charleston Illumination Project where the aim was to better society by giving equal voice to citizens\, finding common ground for the good of the whole community\, and adopting ideas for change embraced by a city police chief and his department in Charleston\, SC. With that foundation\, you will explore how a polarity lens can be utilized in reducing polarization and increasing willingness for healing and repairing within your organization and communities. \nThe Charleston Illumination Project grew out of the community response to a  race motivated mass shooting in a black church in Charleston\, SC in 2015. \n\n\nRegister for this online session here

SUMMARY:Stepping Into Purpose Retreat — A Weekend in Nature
DESCRIPTION:Is this a time of transition in your life? Are you interested in being clearer about what you want in your life and your purpose? Is it time to slow down and listen deeply? Come join us! \nDates: Friday\, October 12\, 2018 2pm – Sunday\, October 14\, 2018 3pm \nThe Retreat\n\nWork with a model for wholeness that draws on the four seasons and directions of the compass\nStep into nature and your senses – this can be hiking\, walking\, or sitting in community and alone\nBe introduced to rituals and practices that can enhance your inquiry\, exploration\, intuition\, sense of fun and imagination\nExperience a supportive community that enhances your experience through story-telling\, mirroring and sharing of intentions.\nIf interested\, sample different types of meditation\, Tai Chi\, poetry\, yoga and visual art\n\nWhy Nature?\nResearch has shown that simply being in nature enhances the positive emotions of joy\, awe\, optimism and courage. The energetic waves found in nature are those found in the human brain when in deep meditation. Nature de-stresses us and reminds us who we truly are. \nNature allows us to walk our talk\, to choose a different path\, to experience getting lost and finding our path again. Those lessons come from listening to our bodies\, hearts and souls. \nNature allows us to sharpen our senses and to have a more expansive\, deeper and slower experience. Nature doesn’t judge us or make meaning for us or nudge us in any way. Nature simply is – and in relationship to nature\, we can test ourselves\, listen to our inner voice and listen to what nature might even tell us about ourselves and our next steps\, life phases or paths. We come from nature – it is our home. \nWho are your guides?\nChristiane Frischmuth\, a certified wilderness rites of passage/vision fast guide\, coach\, team builder and Yoga Teacher with over 25 years of experience in guiding people to discover their true soul and bring it into being.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Polarity Thinking for Coach and Client Development: Cultivating Competency for "Both/And" Thinking Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:The International Coach Federation Maryland Chapter (ICF-MD) Professional Development Community of Practice Presents…\nLeveraging Polarity Thinking for Coach and Client Development: Cultivating Competency for “Both/And” Thinking Webinar Series\n\nPresenters: Cliff Kayser\, PCC and Joy Goldman\, RN\, MS\, PCC\nMonday\, September 17\, 2018 • 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM\nAND Tuesday\, October 2\, 2018 • 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM\nZoom Webinar: Two-Part Series\n** This is being offered as a two-part series\, with each webinar being offered as a stand-alone session as well. **\n$30 – ICF Member / Global Member | $40 – Non-Member (One Session ONLY)\n  \n$50 – ICF Member / Global Member | $60 – Non-Member\n(Webinar Series – Both 9/17 & 10/2 Sessions)\n*REGISTER HERE FOR WEBINAR SERIES*\nEarn 1.5 (each webinar) Core Competency CCEUs\nPolarities (aka Paradoxes\, Dilemmas\, Wicked Problems\, etc.) are unavoidable — we’re all “in” them\, whether we’re aware of them or not. When Polarities in issues and challenges are identified and leveraged well\, the end-goals and objectives can be attained with increased speed and sustainability. Coaches and Clients who leverage polarities well have a distinct performance advantage over the ones that don’t. \n9/17 kicks-off part one of a two-part series with an interactive focus on a key polarity all Coaches face in the coaching relationship. Learning and applying the Polarity Map® and process to a tension of our own\, will enable us to better apply the process with Clients. Part two on 10/2 brings attention to common polarity tensions Clients face and we’ll apply the same process interactively using the Polarity Map® to explore and organize the wisdom in the room. \nLearning objectives participants can expect to achieve are: \n\nImprove Coach and Client performance by providing an overview/awareness between solvable problems and unsolvable (but leverage-able) polarities;\nSimplify some of the complexity in the Coach / Client relationship;\nLearn how resistance in polarity tensions can be used as a resource; and\,\nSupport accelerating learning and development for Coaches and Clients.\n\nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of part 1 (9/17 — COACH FOCUS)\, participants will be able to: \n\nDistinguish between solvable problems and unsolvable (but leverage-able) interdependent pairs or “polarities\,” and review a list of common polarities that all Coaches are “in”;\nSee and Map a polarity in the Coaching relationship using the Polarity Map®;\nSupport “leverage” (maximizing the upside benefits in the polarity tension and minimizing the downside limitations) by identifying Coaching Action Steps and Early Warning Signs.\n\nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of part 2 (10/2 — CLIENT FOCUS)\, participants will be able to: \n\nDistinguish between a solvable problem and unsolvable interdependent pairs or “polarities\,” and review a list of common polarities that all Clients are “in”;\nSee and Map a polarity that has relevance for any client using the Polarity Map®;\n\nSupport “leverage” (maximizing the upside benefits and minimizing the downside limitations) by Identifying Coaching Action Steps and Early Warning Signs. \nParticipants will take a brief polarity assessment which will measure their perception of how well they leverage “Challenge” And “Support” in their coaching work. You will learn aggregate results during the webinars. This should only take five minutes or less to complete.
