Making Contact At Work: How LMX-Theory Supports What Virginia Already Knew – “People join companies but leave managers.” Over the past 25 years a growing body of research (LMX Theory) shows the impact of high-quality relationships between supervisors and subordinates on employee performance, turn-over, and morale. This aligns with McLendon’s belief that congruence is key to effective leadership, and Satir’s belief that the therapist-client relationship is the most important factor toward positive outcomes. The presenter will discuss Leader-Member Exchange theory (LMX theory) and the overlap with the Satir model and McLendon’s leadership model.

Creatively Expanding the Use of Virginia’s Satir’s Parts Model and Its Connection to Her Concept of the 3rd Birth (CEC) – Creatively expanding the use of Virginia’s Satir’s Parts Model and its connection to her concept of the 3rd Birth. Take a deeper dive into Virgins Satir’s Parts model and how to use it in private practice This presentation will explain: 1) The rationale behind using a new expanded perspective of the use of Virginia Satir’s Part model. 2) An in-depth description of how of our 3 “Universal Parts” (the Wounded Child, the Critical Perfectionistic Part, & the Wisdom Part) developed within us. 3) How using intentionally this Parts Model with clients as a way of empowering an individual to become increasingly aware and develop autonomy and control over their internal voices. 4) Describe the connection the Parts Model concepts with our achieving Virginia Satir’s concept of the Third Birth- becoming a more autonomous “Chooser”. 5) The difference between integration and transformation in the use of this Model.
A particular focus will be working with individuals on the critical and shaming part of themselves. Exploring with participants what do they know of their parts, particularly their Critical Part. I will also discuss how to identify and engage the more positive part Wisdom Part to provide support, nurturance, as well as the Congruent Undamaged Self/the “I AM” Participants will learn how the use of this method can help clients practice connecting with these parts independently outside of sessions providing sustained personal control of their inner processes.

Using Photography as Reflections of Self (CEC) – Cellphones, smartphones, and screens have become a center of attention of present-day. Electronic media has become a significant means of communication, socialization, and a popular approach for self-expression. Many are consciously and unconsciously preoccupied with self-image, which reflects our personal, social, and professional identity, self-esteem, and confidence; statements about who we are. Selfies and images are being used to define, communicate, and convey to the outer world information about who we are and how we wish to be perceived. This has become an ongoing, ever-changing, dynamic social interaction, based almost entirely on visual dialogs. Photography can be used in therapy to precipitate therapeutic discussions about self, self-image, relationships, beliefs, feelings, and other topics and levels of the iceberg which preoccupy clients. The images can reflect the internal Self experience. Viewing, photographing, posing, editing, creating photo albums can be used in various ways in therapy to explore relevant therapeutic topics, raising awareness of what lies beneath the surface, helping clients access unconscious information, to achieve therapeutic goals. Photography in therapy can be used with all ages, individuals, couples, families, and groups. It brings up little resistance and provides an easy doorway to our inner world.
This workshop explores basic ideas of Phototherapy, and ways it corresponds with the Satir Model. The workshop offers experiential interventions for making contact, developing therapeutic conversations, addressing issues of self-image, self-esteem, personal, and interpersonal identity. There is no need for prior photography knowledge.

Congruent Leadership – Leadership is not merely about strategies, techniques, or positions of authority. At its core, leadership is about the authentic expression of oneself in service to a greater purpose. It’s about how we show up, how we engage with others, and how we navigate the complexities of human interactions with integrity and congruence. Join us for a workshop exploring the Leader’s Use-of-Self as a vehicle for congruent leadership. Through experiential exercises, reflective practices, and interactive discussions, we will cultivate a deeper understanding of congruence in a leadership context and ourselves as leaders. We invite you to embark on this journey with an open heart and an open mind.

Theory and Practice of Validation in Satir Coaching and Mentoring (CEC) – Validation is crucial in therapy for several reasons. This validation encourages clients to express themselves honestly and openly, promoting a more productive therapeutic process. Virginia Satir describes the power of validation in her quote, “I believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen by them, heard by them, to be understood and touched by them. The greatest gift I can give is to see, hear, understand and to touch another person. When this is done I feel contact has been made.” Satir Coaching and Mentoring, validation is the second of six steps in working with people. We will illustrate the power of validation from the theoretical concept of neuroscience and attachment and will engage workshop participants in practicing validation. Founder of Satir Coaching and Mentoring project, Sharon Loeschen elicits three essential skills of reflecting feelings, affirming values, and highlighting resources in the phase of validation. In this experiential workshop we will illustrate how these skills apply to our work with people by building a secure base and trust relationship between the coaches and coach. When this relationship has been established, subsequent phases of the coaching process of promoting awareness, facilitating acceptance, and creating and sustaining change can more effectively be implemented.

The Fit between Satir Family Therapy and Chinese Culture – Traditional Chinese culture is consistent with Satir family therapy in the following concepts: 1. Chinese people attaches the most importance to family, Confucian “self-cultivation, family harmony, governance and world peace”; Consistent with Satir’s “peace within, peace between, peace among.” 2. The Chinese Confucian view of “human nature is good” which is the same with Satir’s belief about people are basically good. 3. The basic feature of traditional Chinese philosophy is the holistic view which is consistent with the Satir systemic view. 4. The philosophy of change in traditional Chinese philosophy is consistent with Satir’s belief that “change is possible”. 5. The concept of harmony in traditional Chinese philosophy coincides with Satir’s concept of “harmony and unity”. 6. The Traditional Chinese Medicine view of change from the inside out, rather than removal and elimination of “symptoms”, is consistent with Satir’s transformation view . 7. The Chinese way of thinking of “Intuitionistic embodiment realization” is in line with Satir’s essential element of experiential.
