Product Description The "OrgZoo" concept is a set of creative metaphor characters that help develop understanding of human interactions and relationships. The characters represent behaviours and are used to facilitate constructive conversations about social interactions and the value of diversity. Activities described enable exploration of behavioural awareness and how our behavioural choices assist to engage more productively with each other. The Organizational Zoo book and Character Cards are most often used as a support resource for personal and professional development and for mentoring, coaching and self-development. It is a foundational companion book for Becoming Adaptable, a later book that adds more advanced activities and context around the application of the concepts.Part 1 contains an alphabetical list of characters that each represent recognisable behaviours in humans. Using the characters in gamified ways enables workshop participants to engage in inclusive, safe and constructive conversation about behaviours and their impacts on relationships. The greater awareness of behavioural choices generated through these interactions stimulates experiential learning outcomes including: - Understanding peers, bosses and other associates- How to use creative metaphor to build stronger trust and relationships and reduce conflict- Improve the atmosphere of your environment- Build teams with a productive mix of behaviours- Influence others more effectively- Escape the ill-meaning predators in the ecosystem- Assess the benefits of diversity in your environment- Develop positive strategies to address disagreements- Have more fun with work colleagues and friends About the Author Dr Arthur Shelley is collaborative community builder, learning facilitator and creative education designer with over 30 years of professional experience across the international corporate, government and tertiary education sectors.

This is Part II (and Book 2) of The Profundity and Bifurcation of Change series, which details the human progression through the Intelligent Social Change Journey (ISCJ). This is a developmental journey of the body, mind and heart, moving from the heaviness of cause-and-effect linear extrapolations, to the fluidity of co-evolving with our environment, to the lightness of breathing our thought and feelings into reality. We are on this journey together. Change does not occur in isolation. As detailed in this book, Phase 1 of the Intelligent Social Change Journey (ISCJ) is focused on the linear cause-and-effect relationships of logical thinking. Knowledge, situation dependent and context sensitive, is a product of the past. Phase 1 assumes that for every effect there is an originating cause. This is where we as a humanity, and as individuals, begin to develop our mental faculties. In this book we explore cause and effect, scan a kaleidoscope of change models, and review the modalities of change. Since change is easier and more fluid when we are grounded, we explore three interpretations of grounding. In preparation for expanding our consciousness, a readiness assessment and sample change agent's strategy are provided.Today we are in the midst of a consciousness shift. The content of this book helps surface and connect the amazing developmental journey underway in which we all play a leading role-whether as a participant, resister or observer-in engaging this consciousness shift. "Wow I loved it The wealth of the ideas The wise weaving of the multiple perspectives This is a great guiding tool for anybody who wishes to lead change instead of being led by it The authors did a great job in creating a very rich body of knowledge on change-how to understand it on all levels-micro and macro-how to deal with it, how to turn it into a journey full of opportunities. This is both inspiring and practical-sheer joy Bravo " -Edna Pasher, Founder and Chair of Pasher Associates and of ISCI (Israel Smart Cities Institute) and of Status - Management Magazine.

This is Part IV (and Book 4) of The Profundity and Bifurcation of Change series, which details the human progression through the Intelligent Social Change Journey (ISCJ). This is a developmental journey of the body, mind and heart, moving from the heaviness of cause-and-effect linear extrapolations, to the fluidity of co-evolving with our environment, to the lightness of breathing our thought and feelings into reality. We are on this journey together. Change does not occur in isolation. In Part IV of the PBC series, we move into Phase 3 of the ISCJ, fully embracing our role as co-creator. We recognize the power of thought and the role of attention and intention in our ever-expanding search for a higher level of truth. Whether we choose to engage it or not, we explore mental discipline as a tool toward expanded consciousness. In preparing ourselves for the creative leap, there are ever-deepening connections with others. We now understand that the mental faculties are in service to the intuitional, preparing us to, and expanding our ability to, act in and on the world, living with conscious compassion and tapping into the intuitional at will.Today we are in the midst of a consciousness shift. The content of this book surfaces and connects the amazing developmental journey underway in which we all play a leading role-whether as a participant, resister or observer-in fully engaging this consciousness shift.
