8. Consciousness???
•HOW people think about things as opposed to
WHAT they think
•Why people make decisions in different ways
•Why people respond to different motivators
•Why and how values arise and spread
•The nature of change and the forces of
disruption – everything counts – how to shift
context
9. • Do your current beliefs empower you to be
your best, or do they doom you to live as a
mere shadow of what you could be?
• Can you honestly say that you are doing your
best or very close to it?
• Are you living congruently with your most
deeply held beliefs?
• Whatever your religious or spiritual beliefs,
how well do you practice them?
.
10. • Do you walk your talk?
• If you really believe something, you will act in
accordance with that belief — always.
• If you believe in gravity, you will never attempt
to defy it.
• If you claim to hold a belief but act
incongruently, then you don’t actually believe
it.
• You’re only kidding yourself
11. What makest otherwise “common” people
become uncommon thinkers and visionary
leaders?
not much
cleverer
than the
rest of us
Dim by teachers ?
yet they proved to
be some of the
wisest world leaders
of all time.
One of the greatest thinkers the
world has ever known
12. Albert Einstein’s school teachers considered
him to be a little dim – yet he became one of
the greatest thinkers the world has ever
known.
On paper, Gandhi and Nelson Mandela are not
much cleverer than the rest of us — yet they
proved to be two of the wisest world leaders
of all time
13. What allows otherwise “common” people to
become uncommon thinkers and visionary
leaders?
The ability to approach life and its problems
with creativity and heightened emotional
intelligence, is what we have experienced.
14. High EQ = Better Fit in 21st C
Individuals with enhanced emotional
intelligence are able to deal effectively with
stress, activate their creative thinking and find
new, inspired ways to solve problems. This
translates into improved productivity, greater
optimism, renewed passion and fulfilling
relationships — in both the professional and
personal environments.
15. The ability to develop enhanced emotional
intelligence is available to everyone — all it
takes is a little training and regular practice.

25. Spiral Dynamics is a tool used to reveal the hidden codes in
our bio-psycho- social-spiritual conceptual system :
Shows how value systems emerge in societies
Maps out a program for raising human capacities to deal
with 21st century complexities.
Introduces the notion of memes , the scientific study of
"dna-like" codes and patterns that lie at the core of
companies, cultures and countries.
Describes the role of vital signs monitors in profiling human
groupings, and presents a series of design formulas in
crafting natural systems that align focus, function, form, fit,
flow and future.
Demonstrates how to synchronize the spiral of
technological complexity, business systems sophistication,
and levels of human development.
26. Why
Spiral
Dynamics?
“To find out what is truly individual in
ourselves, profound reflection is
needed; and suddenly we realize how
uncommonly difficult the discovery of
individuality is.” – JG Jung

The bedrock of Mandela’s rainbow nation
Here's the key idea. Centers of gravity Societies at different levels of psycho-cultural emergence, of evolutionary levels of complexity. Russian dollsPreviously awakened levels stay active impacting the nature and form of the more complex systems – Different societies, cultures and subcultures, as well as entire nations are at different levels of psycho-cultural emergence, as displayed within these evolutionary levels of complexity. They have different centers of gravity. The previously awakened levels do not disappear. Rather, they stay active within the worldview stacks, thus impacting the nature and form of the more complex systems. Like the Russian dolls, there are systems within systems within systems. So, many of the same issues we confront on the West Bank (Red to Blue) can be found in South Central Los Angeles. One can experience the animistic (Purple) worldview on Bourbon Street as well as in Zaire. Matters brought before city council in Minneapolis (Orange to Green to Yellow) are not unlike the debates in front of governing bodies in the Netherlands. Countries and cultures are mosaics of multiple vMEME codes. The model fits just as well on individuals, organisations, societies, politics and geopolitics All colours can appear in one person, organisation or culture but usually one or two are more apparent – representing a centre of gravity It is not types of people but rather ways of thinking In todays global world we have a clash of colours that have never been seen before – all exist at once If we can learn to understand SD we can avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts in all areas of our lives Been field tested in SA and was the tool used for negotiations between the NATS and ANC Suggests ways to move more quickly in the direction of deep dialogue and comprehensive integral solutions
