A fresh approach to
those difficult conversations
Think of Groundhog as a gym to build your capacity to create psychological safety.
Maybe you’re dealing with a blusterer or a bluffer. Or perhaps someone with what feels like a blackbelt in passive aggression. They may show up at our work or in our families or among our friends.
What if we could find a better way to respond? One that’s more satisfying, and doesn’t threaten the earth swallowing us up. And what if in doing so we develop a greater sense of our presence, something that might enhance our lives in other, unexpected ways?
Groundhog is a powerful process for exploring more creative ways to have those challenging conversations. It helps teams to experience multiple ways of being more effective when dealing with difficult people.
A spirit of rehearsal
Groundhog channels the spirit of good theatrical rehearsals
which are about exploring possibilities rather than just following someone else’s plan. We experience our challenges in a more energetic and imaginative way. The stage director Sam Mendes once said of rehearsal space, “there are no right or wrong decisions in this room, just interesting and less interesting ones.” That’s an interesting way to approach learning together. We’ve run Groundhog with leaders and teams in many different organizations, so let us know if you’d like to explore bringing it your own organization.
“Not your typical teaching approach! Johnnie immersed us in tricky conversations, and we learned by doing. I highly recommend this experience. Any time with Johnnie is marvellous.”
Shawn Callahan, Anecdote International
Experience Groundhog
for yourself
We run online coaching sessions so you can experience Groundhog for yourself
Good groups share ideas and advice. Great groups create spaces where each member can grow as an individual and perform more fluently with others.
This is a space to work on personal challenges in a supportive atmosphere. We’ll cultivate the little acts of bravery that help us surprise ourselves. There’ll be an emphasis on experimenting with new ways of behaving. We will act our way into new ways of thinking, rather than the other way round.
You’ll also experience enough in the workshop to use the method yourself when working with groups.
